The really bad MLB teams this year are not just bad; they are complete dumpster fires.

In our new issue, Lauren Fadiman describes the Prairieland case: One of the highest-stakes, least-publicized political trials of the twenty-first century, the result of decades of suppression of left-wing dissent.

This is the thing. I try not to bring up politics with people but I am known as A Politics Guy, and people sometimes ask me my opinion. If I’m asked “why is this Labour government so abysmal”, I’m going to tell people exactly why, and I can be a persuasive person.

The moderators of the AskCanada subreddit were so sick of posts that were like "American here, I come in peace, we're so ashamed of Trump, please adopt us, do you still like me Y/N" that they posted a new rule with what I thought was a very well-expressed sentiment

Centrist Americans being mystified by Kier Starmer's unpopularity despite him doing everything they're always telling Democrats to do is so funny. Just the biggest dumbasses around.

Putting on his best hot dog suit and —

Charles Dickens would like a word

Oh dear

You have the fuck not

The right has always had this problem, their propaganda becomes unintelligible the way any fandom does to outsiders who aren’t fully immersed in and committed to it. Fond memories of them running around in 2009 screaming “card check” and “Vince foster” and normal humans are like, what.

Starmer‘s unique inability to do the job he has cannot be blamed on the electorate. The electorate didn’t force him to push trans people under the bus. They didn’t force him to take days to condemn nakedly-racist policies. They didn’t prevent him from resolving policy disputes between ministers.

Maybe it’s naïve at this point, but it bothers me that filing pertinent information away for a future book while working as a journalist isn’t considered a conflict of interest.

The first trillion-dollar man has always had posthuman plans for the Red Planet.

Future generations won’t ask what happened. They’ll ask who allowed this.

Don't ask "who radicalised him?" This is the direct result of a campaign of stochastic terrorism by almost the entirety of the UK media.

Goin’ well

Everyone needs a retirement project 🤷‍♂️

Iran is basically doing to Trump what he did to universities that gave into him. Iran can now use the Strait of Hormuz as a hostage forever to get anything they want from him

Air Force Two must smell like a swamp these days

This government’s sole purpose is lining their buddies’ pockets.

This is an unfathomably evil act that will be a foul stain on our nation’s history forever. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/19/w...

What's neat about this is that they think they're doing Galt's Gulch from Atlas Shrugged but what they're really doing is inventing the colony of hair stylists and telephone sanitizers from Hitchhiker's Guide from first principles

I have no idea why Brendan Little is still in the organization

When Vladdy is great he’s great but I feel like we’ve collectively spent like 75% of his career so far waiting for him to ✌️figure it out✌️

So, not the Pope then, huh?

This is a fact. Space colonies aren’t happening.

This is the single best thing written on the crisis of the humanities in a very long time.

'many districts are spending heavily on adopting online curriculum packages, which compel teachers to adhere to a script. Most of the literary texts are excerpts or short works. "Our district adopted a disjointed, excerpt-heavy curriculum two years ago, and it is doing real damage"'

Just wanted to point out that John Byrne’s Doom Patrol was abominable

Oh no

And they could have done that but chose not to 🤷‍♂️

Welp

This piece is another example of how evidentiary standards for covering young people basically don't exist. It's a take on the supposedly widespread and normal use of this language anchored around guesstimates from two (2) people about behavior at a single high school.

I can’t decide whether Trump and his goons are deliberately wrecking the place before he goes or whether they just suck that bad at everything

My, that’s a lot of rain

“Why is everyone so angry” I ask, in year 18 of plummeting living standards, cancelled services and a crumbling public realm

It makes a farce out of the entire governing process. We don’t have a parliamentary system here; we have a Doug system.

One boring thing in free speech discourse is the confusion between the right to speak once invited and the right to be invited to speak. Should Tommy Robinson have been prohibited from appearing at the Oxford Union (he wasn't)? Debatable. Should student edgelords have ever invited him? 100% no

(Trigger warning: any sociologists among us may wish to avert their eyes to avoid spontaneous combustion resulting from exposure to the worst theory of social action I have seen in decades) For the rest of you, beware if you are “unhappy” or “looking for justice” you may be on the road to terrorism

Oh

come on. come the fuck on

Treaty Chiefs are calling for RCMP to investigate Danielle Smith and UCP for possible treason in regards to the sovereignty referendum.

I dunno, man: almost sixty years on this Earth, lived under many a conservative government, and *none* of them have upheld the values Palmer claims they have only recently abandoned.

I just had to sit through some bullshit video about how AI is going to kill all entry-level jobs and replace 30% of the workforce within five years and when I asked why it would be good and exciting if 30% of the working population wouldn’t be able to afford food or shelter I didn’t get an answer 🦗

I wrote about Marty Embry’s viral MAGA hat experiment, and why his both sides conclusions are wrong. when you put on a maga hat, you’re telling a lot of people you hate them. They’re allowed to believe you. That’s not intolerance. It’s self preservation. www.everythingishorrible.net/p/fascism-is...
