Vance's most monumental achievement to date has been being told off by two popes in one year.

White House press conference: DO NOT TAKE TYLENOL!!! IT CAUSES AUTISM!!!

Actual letter to physicians: Pssst... there is no link. Acetaminophen is the safest over-the-counter alternative in pregnancy.

Me if you ask me about a multitude of subjects.

The greatest minds of the right wing intellectual dark web think tank cannot -- or won't -- distinguish between "comic gets yelled at in comedy club for telling shitty joke about trans people" and "federal government forces corporation to pull comedian off the air for mocking President"

t's hot pynchon fall, where almost everyone in the news has a stupid name, the grift is on, and we're all either deteriorating from paranoia or seeing reality in all its firework against a night sky sharpness

everyone else in the admin over the last couple days: what are you talking about, there was no attempted government censorship, stop fearmongering

trump: I’m gonna sue them for putting kimmel back on the air

well if freedom of speech didn't make you cancel your sub, a price increase might 🙄

The offer made to women in the enticement to become trad wives is the same as the offer made to citizens in the enticement to embrace authoritarianism: give up. Abandon the aspiration to self rule. It’s imprisonment recast as rest and relief.

A fun thing to do if you can afford it is to give money to someone doing good work so that they both have more money, can do more work, and feel appreciated for doing the good work

If you’re rich and not a coward, this is what you’d refer to as a “market opportunity” to dominate a media ecosystem that’s about to be covered in grotesque government slop.

Some killings you're allowed to joke about.

KAMLAGER-DOVE: Dylan Roof, who followed white supremacist propaganda, murdered 9 Black parishioners in 2015. Do you deny this?

PATEL: I'm sorry. Dylan Roof? Can you give me more information?

KAMLAGER-DOVE: You're head of the FBI
