I was so excited to pre-order @johnfugelsang.bsky.social 's new book, that I inadvertently ordered it twice.

Now I get to read them both.

Two new copies of the book "Separation of Church and Hate" in hardcover. One is still in bubble wrap.

A new Knives Out where the universally loathed “Secretary of War” gathers every high ranking officer in one room and they’re all suspects in his mysterious demise would be fun.

A very big Onion announcement:

The Onion has spent the last two months working on a masterpiece.

It's a documentary titled Jeffrey Epstein: Bad Pedophile.

It's so good, in fact, we were set to release it in theatres nationwide on October 2nd.

Then two weeks ago, Charlie Kirk was shot.

Here's the full video of Jimmy Kimmel at the Oscars, without Trump editing out the punchline.

"Okay, now, see if you can guess which former president just posted that on Truth Social. Anyone? No? Well, thank you, President Trump. I'm surprised you're still... isn't it past your jail time?"

Dan Hedges @danielahedges.bsky.social · 20d

They got offended by this?

And to think they call us snowflakes.

1. Just so we’re clear, this is the clip that got Jimmy Kimmel’s show shelved by ABC.

If I’m missing any other clips please let me know.
