Oil bless the Oiled Oils of Oil! www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/a-w...

Release the hounds.

They forgot to put quotes around “know.”

NYT gonna NYT: "Both Mr. Mamdani and Mr. Maduro identify as socialists, though they have no relationship.” — would be funny if they did this every time you write about two capitalists. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/03/w...

I take comfort in knowing that Schumer is probably writing the sternest of emails to the president right now.

We just wrapped up posting @mcsweeneys.net's most-read pieces of 2025. Thanks again to our contributors and readers this year. I like everything we publish, of course, but I’d like to point out some great pieces that didn't receive as much attention. #McSweeneysHiddenGems2025

Been having a fun & relaxing vacation this week, but now, unfortunately, I must watch my Sixers.

When they make the movie about all the grifters, felons, and weirdos in the Trump admin, this guy will play himself.

Did you know that each region of Ireland has its own figure who traditionally delivers presents on Christmas Eve??

🎶🔔 "SILVER BELLS... SILVER BELLS... IT'S CHILL-OUT TIME FOR McSWEENEY'S..." 🔔 🎶

Merry Christmas!

New life goal just dropped:

“Hey, Department of Justice…”

Can't wait for her Trump-Kennedy Center Honors induction. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/12/18/l...

Either the teleprompter is going too fast or he is having a stroke.

Why is SNL on at 9 pm on a Wednesday?

My name is Christoper Monks. I am not one of them. I wish to save the world.

Alex seems like QUITE the catch. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/12/12/m...

Does he realize he looks old and frail, not important and in charge, when he sits at his desk with younger people (mostly men) hovering over him?

McSweeney's living legend, @mikelacher.bsky.social, returns to the site today with his first font-themed satire since "I'm Comic Sans, Asshole." www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/tim...

Mabel doing her best to dominate her vet’s waiting room.

We need either @showmanandydaly.bsky.social or @markproksch.bsky.social to play this guy.

Understand that you’re experimenting with a drone, but this is not a fun angle for us watching at home, @nbcsportsphiladelphia.com.

I’ll get back to you in a few, need more time to process this Village People performance at the World Cup Draw.

The molds for Trump’s World Cup Peace trophy were made from the hands of the boaters he war crimed.

Another absolute banger by Mike on the site today.

This is how you do it. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/12/03/m...

Brilliant idea putting a baby monitor in the Cabinet Room.

“Thank you, Mr. President.” Again, the antiquated decorum by the press is so ridiculously bad. He evades a question about his MRI, mentions how he aced that cognitive test for people with dementia, trashes two reporters, and after all that, they thank him for his time. Cowards.

The guy who looks like he’s sitting at an empty bake sale table might actually be the stupid person here.

Fair, both sides, etc., etc.

Understandable.

We passed on this—the writing was way over the top, and it watered down the satire. Still, good to see it find a home elsewhere. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/14/s...

I am completely dominating my dentist’s waiting room right now.

Maybe the reason why we feel like our elected officials and journalistic institutions have failed us is because our ejected officials and journalistic institutions have failed us?

We’re definitely in the market for satire about today’s leak, but maybe we should just publish them verbatim?

Thanks for your service, Mayor-Elect Zamdani.

And these beautiful books behind me? Don’t tell anyone but: it’s the Epstein files.

Is he reconsidering because he’s having a stroke?

Weird seeing Mr. Monopoly without his top hat, mustache, and cane.

We were looking for a good quote to set up the satire here, but nothing clicked. Then Douthat’s op-ed dropped late morning, and well, thank you New York Times yet again. www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/yea...

Looks like it’s the Republicans who should move toward the center.

When one of Trump’s toadies says something ridiculous like this they should just pause the interview and wait for a fact checker to confirm or deny it. The awkward silence as they wait for the answer would be riveting television.

Someone should cut this together with Pastor Mark’s sermon on The Lowdown.

Trying our best to dominate the examination room right now.

If you went to bed before the conclusion of that 18-inning marathon World Series game, Ray Ratto has a message for you:

On the plus side, when showed a picture of a giraffe, he can say that it is a giraffe.
