A very big Onion announcement: The Onion has spent the last two months working on a masterpiece. It's a documentary titled Jeffrey Epstein: Bad Pedophile. It's so good, in fact, we were set to release it in theatres nationwide on October 2nd. Then two weeks ago, Charlie Kirk was shot.

Saw a TikTok turning the news about a father who “forgot” his child in a car to die while he watched porn into why his wife is to blame and why “bad mothers” are the real danger to children because they center men. This is why I maintain that “bad mother(s)” is dog a misogynistic whistle.

I've seen a lot of people misunderstanding what this does and does not mean and Melissa does a great job explaining it's first and foremost a media strategy. Importantly, none of this is new and has been used against other groups and activists (Muslims/Palestinians, BLM, immigrants)

To understand Steen's demographic, you have to realize there are people who think a working-class blue-haired barista on minimum wage is the Establishment, while upper-middle-class professional Catholics of multi-generational wealth are the oppressed disenfranchised politically homeless.

Allyship, for the most part, only ever comes if it's convenient and comfortable for the person doing it. People were willing to cancel their Disney subscriptions because other than two shows that can be pirated, they don't watch it much. But boycott a chicken sandwich or boy wizard? Too much.

Mission accomplished, time to cash in

‘Nickname’ is not ‘nick’ + ‘name.’ It was originally ‘ekename.’ ‘Eke’ was the Middle English word for “also” or “in addition.” Since ‘ekename’ began with a vowel, people used ‘an’ before it. Over time, 'an ekename' became 'a nickname.'

Now that I'm much better at resin than I was several months ago, it's time to come back to runes.

The cat distribution system finally reached us after about 2 months of trying. I want to make his first social media introduction to @seananmcguire.bsky.social because, cat, obviously. This is Jellyman Kelly (Jelly for short). Bonus pics of Harper using him as a pillow yesterday.

Just saw members of a church hosting a political town hall for a Dem candidate in Philly form a human shield to block a Republican instigator from entering. He literally called them "anti-fascists" "These anti-fascists won't let me in!" Bro you understand what you're saying right? Apparently not.

The Kimmel monologue was 18 minutes of extraordinary, raw television that will be hated by the people who wanted him off the air for good. Trump and Brendan Carr lost this one as badly as it's possible to lose.

I will never forget the undergrad Intro to Asian Art History class where my teacher referred to a Buddha statue as "the one that would win a wet t-shirt contest"

I think this excellent article got lost in the avalanche of bad news and warnings. This is where he goes next to fulfill how he has always felt as a rabid ableist creep. His group of non-productive people is growing. He will eventually fill his concentration centers with us. #disabilityrights #pinks

Earlier this month, three trans women were beaten by a group of young men in Seattle's gay neighborhood. According to the county prosecutor's office, there's been at least four more group beatings since June 2024. In one case, strangers joined in. The kicker? www.thestranger.com/news/2025/09...

Pennsylvanians are facing a Supreme Court retention vote that has major implications. GOP billionaires want to flip the PA Supreme Court & gut worker rights, abortion rights, & voter access. Help spread the word: Vote YES to retain pro-democracy judges!#PACourtsMatter social.demcast.com/s/iVprIWRa

Seems bad for our society when you can’t make racist terrorists the villains

Kind of surreal that a government official was caught taking a $50,000 cash bribe and there's not even a question that he will continue serving as it nothing ever happened. Like even the most basic standards of public accountability are a joke.

Please victimize me sky daddy!!!

An Update: I received an email canceling my contract as a columnist at @startribune.com after sharing this story publicly. (I had written columns past the one-year contract already + been asked to continue on in July).

i am seriously begging democrats to bring the same smoke to this story that they brought to jimmy kimmel being indefinitely suspended

Recruiters are wild, man. I get pinged by recruiters for random contract jobs, so I respond with “I am FTE with an annual compensation package of $[number] plus benefits. Does this job pay more than that?” and several of them just blocked me in response

He said Dems want to force trans surgery on everyone. This is not a well man.

Well…

This is actually a big deal, and it's okay if you don't understand why. What's going on is a whole lot of academic insider baseball. But the simplest version is that the guy who defined what evidence-based medicine *is* just said SEGM is extremist and pseudoscientific. Let me explain.

I’m so unsurprised by this that I thought we already knew it

The thing that is making me hopeful in this past week is summed up nicely in this concluding para by @gregsargent.bsky.social in the linked piece. Core ideals, such as free speech, still hold great power in our culture. We're floundering, but not completely lost. newrepublic.com/article/2008...
