Megyn Kelly on the boat strikes in Venezuela:

“I really do kind of not only want to see them killed in the water… but I’d really like to see them suffer. I would like Trump and Hegseth to make it last a long time so that they lose a limb and bleed out a little.”

Donald Trump just removed Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth from the list of free entry days at national parks.

They are being replaced with Trump’s birthday.

Print edition of the @theonion.com is worth it for the ads alone.
And last December, they included extra sheets with gift wrap. And there was also the full-sheet "sickos" panel insert.

Humans are capable of incredible invention, stupendously beautiful art & architecture. AI only exists because a human thought it, then built it. A computer can’t conceive of, much less build, a pyramid, or transfer a human heart, without the tech created by man. Sooo… fuck AI. Keep creating!!!!

Happy Thanksgiving, American pals.
I love Planes, Trains & Automobiles for many reasons but the main one is for John Candy’s subtle reactions at the end. An ambiguous mix of melancholy & happiness moves across his face & undercuts the overt sentimentality.
What a fine actor he was.
