Think of all the best parties you’ve ever been to, jumbled together and winding into one long night. Imagine running through that dreamed-up congregation hour by hour. What did it smell like? What did it feel like? Who made it possible? What, if anything, made it political? Do this, and you might have something like […]

You there! By the side of the road! Yes, you! In the tattered garments! Be you man or be you mirage?
Please, sheath your weapon. I mean you no harm. But it’s been weeks since I’ve encountered another human being along this arid and miserable path, and it would do my heart good to converse with you for a few moments. Cardiac health is so important, even—nay, especially—in times like these.
Have I any food? I do. It is a meager assortment of nuts, but you are welcome to partake. I shall not be joining you since I am intermittently fasting. I only eat during an eight-hour window, from when the sun is high in the sky until it reaches a certain point above the horizon. It triggers metabolic switching, which burns fat at a higher rate, helping me maintain an ideal BMI for increased longevity.

Alberta is a province in Canada with a lot of oil and a moderate but not yet dangerous separatism problem that polls a little below 30%. That’s far less than needed to win a referendum, but enough to support an insurrection or a large campaign of civil disobedience. It’s also a sufficient level of support […]
Under the Trump administration, and the direction of Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the Centers for Disease Control have updated their previous handwashing guidelines. In keeping with our new commitment to truth and personal freedom, the CDC recommends the following steps:
1. Wet hands under faucet.
2. Lather with warm, soapy water for at least twenty seconds.
3. Wait a sec—hold off on the soap. We don’t know enough about its long-term effects.
4. To be clear, we’re not anti-soap. But given the skyrocketing rate of chronic illness in this country, isn’t it worth investigating if soap plays a role?
5. We just investigated. Turns out soap causes neurodivergence. Authenticity and passion are like cancer for capitalism, which means they’re like cancer for you too. Evacuate the restroom immediately.
6. We’re not making this up, you know. Ever heard of a thing called science? We do it here. And not just any science—Gold Standard science. Gold. The most serious of the shiny metals. We can’t stop you from using the soap, but you can’t say we didn’t warn you.

Jillian Segal, Anthony Albanese’s appointed antisemitism envoy, has produced a series of Trumpian recommendations that have drawn widespread shock.

In July 2024, as a knee jerk reaction to pressure being put on it by powerful lobby groups in Australia, the Federal Government created a Special Envoy to Combat Antisemitism. After it was pointed out that this seemed an odd creation, especially given that Australia has relatively strong racial discrimination and laws that protect freedom…
