Thinking about that time the My Little Pony comics, of all things, absolutely bodied Scott Adams.

Close up of Pinkie Pie looking at a newspaper comic saying “Hmpf. I thought these were supposed to be funny?”

The comic is called Ponybert by Trot Adams. It opens with a building and we see a word balloon that says “Well?” The second panel is of Ponybert, the Dilbert stand-in saying “No one is smart but me.”

The president is obviously watching the Gorilla Channel and instead of pointing that out, it seems like the major broadcast news organizations are trying to get syndicated on the Gorilla Channel

I was trying to think of who the equivalent of this might have been when I was in undergrad, and it's like if they had called up Wayne Newton to whine about "college chicks"

It's genuinely like they're using 1984 as a blueprint

It simply should not be possible for the president to repeatedly claim that a major city is burning without a wall of live standups happening in that city clearly demonstrating that it is not

American broadcast journalism has utterly failed and is a dead industry, there's nothing left worth saving

Let's make a promise here, friends... we ARE going to abolish ICE. Not REFORM it. ABOLISH it. And we're going to put that massive budget back into funding all the things that actually HELP people.
