2019 was another bumper year for anti-vaxxer ignorance and also for preventable diseases. From January 1 to November 7, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention documented 1,261 cases of the previously-eradicated disease measles. It was by far the worse measles year of the 2010s, up from 372 cases in 2018 and nearly doubling the […] More
With a presidential election right around the corner, there’s nowhere to go to escape from politics. Especially not Twitter. But at least on Twitter, there are a lot of people who are great at encapsulating the issues in 280 characters or less, usually in a pretty funny or evocative way. That means it’s possible to […] More
During the primaries for the 2016 election, which feels like eons ago, Senator Lindsey Graham warned against making Donald Trump the nominee. He said it would destroy the Republican party—but once it happened, he fell right in line. Now that impeachment inquiries have begun, he continues to maintain his loyalty to Trump, even tweeting about […] More
Baby boomers are going to have more to be upset about today than the latest teenager dismissing them with “OK Boomer.” The hashtag #AdviceForBoomers is trending on Twitter and most of the advice is not exactly flattering to the generation, which has faced heavy criticism from millennials and Generation Z for failing to act on […] More
There are a lot of Twitter accounts that mock Donald Trump, in part because Twitter is his preferred medium for making a fool of his own damn self. But Trump says and does stupid things all over the place, and a man who identifies himself by the name DM Higgins has found a way to […] More
The anti-vaxx movement is hard to combat because its members only have immunity to one thing: logic. No amount of science, clearheaded explanations, or proof via sick, sad kids will sway them from their belief that vaccines cause autism, death, and disease in their pure precious babies. That has made anti-vaxx households a danger to […] More
Donald Trump is hated in a lot of cities, but he might be hated the most in Chicago, a city that he has been characterizing as a burnt-out wasteland since the beginning of his campaign. He is deeply loathed by Chicagoans who are sick of him spreading lies about the city while building his big, […] More

If nothing unusual happens a U.S. president remains in power for four to eight years. On the other hand, barring some serious laser treatment, a tattoo lasts forever. But that hasn’t stopped fans of our edgelord president, Donald Trump, from getting everlasting tributes to the man seared into their hides. These regrettable Trump tattoos range […] More
Heavily religious people and organizations love getting up in arms over random and sometimes extremely ridiculous things. Take St. Edward Catholic School in Tennessee, for instance. The institution recently decided to ban all Harry Potter books from their library since they contain “actual curses and spells” that run the risk of “conjuring evil spirits.” Oh […] More
Working in customer service is painful, because the biggest part of your job is keeping everyone who comes into your establishment happy. And that’s basically impossible, because so many people are stupid and terrible. They’ve also had the words “the customer is always right” drilled into their heads, so you can’t correct them—even if it’s […] More
If you believe in a supreme deity, which we’ll call God, you have to admit “He’s” made some weird choices. For example innocent people get deadly diseases and the platypus exists. Luckily the absurdity of life on Earth is not just the source of all pain, it’s also the source of all that is funny. […] More
