“Our goal in a couple of years is for people to think of Infowars as the funniest and dumbest website that exists,” said Ben Collins, the Onion's CEO. “It was previously the dumbest website that exists.”

SUN MOON STAR by Kurt Vonnegut and Ivan Chermayeff

A book for adults in the guise of a children's story.

I found this to be a thoughtful and surprisingly sweet book. It doesn't feel like a typical Vonnegut book, but it may just be one of my favorites.

Pete & Pickles by Berkeley Breathed

great story with to notch art.. Careful observation will show you that Breathed previews most of the book with the art on the walls of Pete's house. It's something fun to go back and look at with the kids. 5/5 stars

Uh, this is a lie in at least 2 parts.

1. We’re not “in Ukraine” now any more than we ever have been.
2. When he was President, he was sending troops to Ukraine. How do I know? My brother was deployed to Ukraine in 2017.

The story flows back & forth between the two brothers, offering some insight to Hollywood, but mostly to a family that loved one another & made it work.

@jameslynch32 @NRO How many times has DJT called her a communist Marxist fascist in the last month? Also, he called her an idiot, a sh** VP, slow, low IQ, and "dumb as a rock."

Is that better than dancing for 39 minutes during a Q&A, or is it worse?

SAINT PETER: A LIFE from BEGINNING to END (kindle) by @Hourly_History

One of the main figures in the New Testament, 2nd only to Jesus himself. But, he's a mystery in many ways because the references to Peter are scattered. This short book fixes that.

One reason older voters are going to break hard for Harris:

In the world we grew up in, leaders didn't get up in public and call others "shit," and they didn't talk to big crowds about size of other people's penises.

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

Arnold Palmer was “appalled” by Trump, his daughter Peg said (in 2020):

“My dad didn’t like people who act like they’re better than other people. He had no patience for people who are dishonest and cheat. My dad was disciplined. He wanted to be a good role model. He was appalled by Trump’s lack of civility and what he began to see as Trump’s lack of character.

One moment stood out in her mind from the 2016 campaign, when Mr. Palmer saw Mr. Trump on television: “My dad made a sound of disgust — like ‘uck’ or ‘ugg’ — like he couldn’t believe the arrogance and crudeness of this man who was the nominee of the political party that he believed in,” she recalled. “Then he said, ‘He’s not as smart as we thought he was.’”

A new brutal ad from the Harris campaign.

Trump is not well.
