Nation could really use Catherine O’Hara to deal with passing of Catherine O’Hara

by Ian MacIntyre

OTTAWA – Following the passing of screen and comedy legend Catherine O’Hara, nationwide reports indicate that the only thing Canadians could use to cheer them up from their grief is Catherine O’Hara. “I bet if she were here she’d say something perfectly timed and effortlessly hilarious,” said comedy fan Calvin Sterges, of Edmonton. “Or do […]

If you'd like a legal argument from an actual lawyer which highlights the uniquely strange and unchecked powers we have given DHS and ICE, this is worth a watch. I am not being hyperbolic in saying that this is a serious problem we need to face head on through abolishment, not reform.

weekend open thread – January 31 – February 1, 2026

Stella and Laurie

This comment section is open for any non-work-related discussion you’d like to have with other readers, by popular demand.

Here are the rules for the weekend posts.

Book recommendation of the week: Northanger Abbey, Jane Austen’s satire of Gothic novels, which follows the naive Catherine Morland as she navigates society and romance. I hadn’t read this since my teens and, upon re-reading it recently, I discovered I had misremembered it as far more Gothic than it actually is, so it was like discovering an entirely new Austen novel.

Charlotte Aitchison Relieved To Shed Charli XCX Character After 15 Years Of Promoting ‘The Moment’ 

by The Onion Staff

LOS ANGELES—After 15 years of promoting the A24 film The Moment, actress Charlotte Aitchison told reporters Friday she was relieved to shed the character Charli XCX. “Playing Charli has been an actor’s dream,” said Aitchison, the 33-year-old thespian, who reportedly beat out a slew of stars for the competitive role of the fictional pop star, including Margaret Qualley, Dakota Johnson, and Amanda Seyfried. “It’s been a whirlwind decade-and-a-half-long press tour, but I’m looking forward to taking a break before choosing my next project. As a Southern gal, I’ll be glad to drop the British accent and finally talk like myself again. Of course, I’ll always have Charli in my heart.” Aitchison went on to praise songwriter Diane Warren for her work creating the world of Brat.

RFK Jr. Demonstrates How To Remove Tapeworm By Scooting Ass Across Carpet

by The Onion Staff

WASHINGTON—In an address touting the practice as a completely drug-free method to relieve the common affliction, Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. demonstrated Thursday how to remove a tapeworm by scooting one’s ass across carpet. “Doctors won’t tell you this, but you don’t need medication for a tapeworm—all you need is the natural power of friction,” Kennedy said as he dropped to the floor, lifted his legs high, and dragged his ass along the White House carpet during a press conference. “Big pharma will urge you to paralyze the tapeworm with dangerous, addictive drugs we don’t know anything about, but they just want to keep you infected with tapeworms so you become dependent on them. Just raise your legs to make sure your anus comes in direct contact with the carpet, then use your arms to propel yourself forward. It’s the natural way people used to get rid of tapeworms back in the ’60s and ’70s before the health-industrial complex corrupted everything. I’ve been doing it every week for years to take care of my constant anal swelling.” Kennedy added that peer-reviewed scientific journals have been involved in a massive conspiracy to cover up his research on ass-scooting and have constantly rejected all the photos he’s sent them proving it works.

by Jacob McArthur Mooney

This “birthday suit mandatory” policy represents a break in tradition, as past policy conventions were covered by national […]

Judge dismisses death penalty for Luigi Mangione citing “Too Sexy To Die” precedent

by John Hansen

NEW YORK – A judge has ruled that U.S. Federal prosecutors cannot request the death penalty against Luigi Mangione in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, citing the defendant’s chiseled good looks and “magical” smile. In citing this precedent (Grant v Avanti (1986)) to protect Mangione’s life, Judge Garnett wrote that she did so […]

I’m Still Your America

by Amanda Lehr

Hey, patriot.

It’s been a week.

As ICE spreads terror through the streets, and Teacup Eichmann presided over the murder of yet another innocent civilian in Minneapolis (bringing this year’s known death toll up to eight), I know a lot of you are struggling to recognize me lately.

And while I don’t know what’s going to happen next either, I want to at least assuage your fears that I’m turning into Nazi Germany or Franco’s Spain or some other scary, distant place torn from your history books. Because that’s not what’s happening.

Baby, look into my star-spangled eyes. It’s me.

I’m your America.

Maybe you didn’t recognize me without my hood up.

I’ve been brutalizing civilians in my streets ever since I was built on stolen land.

I tore children from their mothers’ arms at the auction block, cut braids and buried bones at residential schools, and locked those girls inside the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory.

I cracked skulls at Stonewall and Rock Springs, slammed the gates shut at Manzanar, and bombed Black Wall Street into dust.

I dragged disabled activists out of their wheelchairs and down the Capitol steps.

I came for the socialists and communists and trade unionists.

I killed Alex Pretti and Renee Good and Keith Porter Jr. and Luis Gustavo Núñez Cáceres and Geraldo Lunas Campos and Víctor Manuel Díaz and Parady La and Luis Beltrán Yáñez–Cruz and Heber Sánchez Domínguez and Philando Castile and Emmett Till and Sandra Bland and Breonna Taylor and Elijah McClain and Harry and Harriette Moore and Paul Guihard and George Floyd and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Tamir Rice and Medgar Evers and Ahmaud Arbery and Heather Heyer and Jordan Neely and Addie Mae Collins and Denise McNair and Carole Robertson and Cynthia Wesley and and and and and and and and and and and and and and

I’ve always carried this gun. Maybe you’ve never seen it pointed at you.

I’m blue jeans and apple pie and the Indian Removal Act.

Before Alligator Alcatraz, I was Krome.

I said, “Give me your tired, your poor,” with one side of my mouth, and shouted “Go back where you came from” with the other.

I forced the shape of English onto resisting tongues and then dared to call it “broken.”

I toppled fourteen foreign governments before breakfast and let Hitler copy my homework.

I said “law and order” and meant “slave patrols.”

I helped myself to Mexico, then got mad that there were Mexicans in it.

I’m not changing. I’m just expanding my repertoire.

This isn’t even the first time I’ve shot white people.

But I put on a good show for company and holidays.

Didn’t we have some good times, baby? Remember the barbeques and fireworks? Everyone loves fireworks—except my veterans and mass shooting survivors. And your dogs, of course.

I am my own original sin. One someone is always willing to forgive.

Until enough of you demand that I be better.

I have only changed in spite of myself.

Every scrap of progress has been torn from my clenched talons by citizens who loved me more than themselves and their neighbors more than me.

I am “the land that has never been yet.”

But I could be.

I could be.

Culinary Students Given Live Baby To Learn How To Care For Bag Of Flour

by The Onion Staff

HYDE PARK, NY—Stifling their groans as an instructor distributed the wailing infants, students at the Culinary Institute of America were reportedly given a live baby Friday to learn how to care for a bag of flour. “Flour is the most delicate of the pantry staples, and looking after this child for the week will prepare you to deal with the complexities of milled grain,” said Inès Allard, who teaches introduction to baking and pastry at the school, explaining that the students would have to keep the baby from leaking just as they would need to do with an actual sack of processed wheat. “I know it’s not a real bag of flour, but it’s important to take this seriously. And trust me, this is easy mode—babies can be left out in the open, but if you do that with flour, you get ants. If you can’t handle a live infant, then you sure as hell aren’t ready for 10 pounds of ultra-fine pizza flour crafted from the highest-quality varieties of soft wheat.” At press time, reports indicated that many students had already decided it would be too much work to have a flour bag of their own.

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are laying down, with Blue flopped over Green, who is still awake. Blue is sound asleep.
Green: Goodnight.

Green looks uncomfortable as Blue begins to radiate heat.
Green: Eeeugh. How are you this warm?

In vain, Green tries to wiggle himself free, but Blue, laying solidly on top of him, neither moves nor wakes up.
Green: Hnnngyäääh!

Green gives up, while Blue, still peacefully asleep, only continues to glow hotter.
Green: How can you sleep comfortably in a puddle of my sweat?ALT

She'll mess with Texas: Nurse keeps mailing abortion pills, despite Paxton lawsuit

by Ashley Belanger

A Texas fight with a nurse practitioner may eventually push the Supreme Court to settle an intensifying battle between states with strict abortion-ban laws and those with shield laws to protect abortion providers supporting out-of-state patients.

In a lawsuit filed Tuesday, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton accused Debra Lynch, a Delaware-based nurse practitioner, of breaking Texas laws by shipping abortion pills that Lynch once estimated last January facilitated "up to 162 abortions per week" in the state.

"No one, regardless of where they live, will be freely allowed to aid in the murder of unborn children in Texas," Paxton's press release said.
