More from Barria. It says something about the monstrous absurdity of the era that some of the finest editorial cartooning was by a Reuters photographer.

Reuters photo of Trump’s head amidst a bunch of pumpkins.

Famous Reuters photo by Carlos Barria of Trump in the cab of a truck, screaming.

Even more famous photo by Carlos Barria. Trump shouting at a kid mowing the white house lawn.

Trump looks utterly unmanned as Melania makes goo goo eyes at Trudeau.

The elimination of USAID is a moral atrocity and all involved made a choice to enable, and then lie about, ending the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in the world.

MAE SOT, Thailand (AP) - Mohammed Taher clutched the lifeless body of his 2-year-old son and wept. Ever since his family's food rations stopped arriving at their internment camp in Myanmar in April, the father had watched helplessly as his once-vibrant baby boy weakened, suffering from diarrhea and begging for food.
On May 21, exactly two weeks after Taher's little boy died, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio sat before Congress and declared: "No one has died" because of his government's decision to gut its foreign aid program. Rubio also insisted: "No children are dying on my watch."
That, Taher says, "is a lie."

Presumably, these are the same photos they have been showing Trump, because we already know he: A) Has no idea how Photoshop works, and B) Is dumb as a box of rocks.

The Oregon Republican Party tried to help Donald Trump make the case for military intervention in Portland with an image of a fiery protest — but since Portland is calm, they had to fabricate one by merging old photos of police in Ecuador and protesters in Brazil www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

This is like hiring someone to manage your baseball team who not only has never played baseball, but who has never even seen a baseball game except for watching "The Bad News Bears" on cable.

Bari Weiss has officially been announced as the editor in chief of CBS News. “She’s not a reporter; she’s never been in the field,” a 60 Minutes producer told Adam Piore for a recent profile of CBS. “Talk about controversies.”

Earlier this year, Dr. Jane Goodall sat down for an interview for Brad Falchuk’s new Netflix series, Famous Last Words.

The premise of the series is to interview people on the condition that the interview not air until the subject has passed away.

You're probably flying a little too much when you're like, "New month, I wonder what movies Delta added to the onboard entertainment?"

Amazon have removed the guns from their Bond posters, giving the tantalising impression that Sean Connery and Pierce Brosnan think you’re a wanker.

Yes, of course Trump is in the Epstein files. Yes, of course there's video.

No, I do not think it would make one bit of difference to his cult or his enablers were that video to surface. They would deem it a fake, a sinister plot against him, and go right on supporting him. That's where we are.

Ron Filipkowski @ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · 7d

In a new interview, Howard Lutnick reveals the reason why Trump, Bondi and Mike Johnson have been working so hard to cover up the Epstein files, which we pretty much already knew but now it’s coming from someone who was friends with Epstein. nypost.com/2025/10/01/u...
