So Florida has a problem with one of the most famous sculptures in history, despite the fact it's a masterpiece steeped in religion. Now a principal is out of a job and a bunch of sixth graders are probably confused over how any of this is a bi
This episode took longer than usual to pull together ... heck, one of the biggest banks in the U.S. collapsed in less time. Sorry about the delay, but I'm sure "woke" is somehow to blame. Donate to abortion funds here or the National Center fo
Everyone's favorite fake news outlet looks like it could be in for a hefty payout over its 2020 election coverage. Let's hope so. Plus some thoughts on an ugly CPAC. Donate to abortion funds here or the National Center for Transgender Equality
So the creator of a comic strip nobody cares about went and got himself canceled last week. Scott Adams is still trying to post through it, but it's not going well. Or it's going exactly as he hoped and the racism grift pays off. We'll find out
We're boiling this show down to its essence: Two Gen Xers embracing their angsty stereotype and talking about what's bringing them down. Like the news these days gives us any choice.

Like the world wasn't bad enough. The richest guy on the planet deals with his insecurity by buying Twitter and the rest of us pay the price. We're staying for now, but we don't have to like it. Donate to abortion funds at https://abortionfunds
