from The Dumbest Story of the Week

Begun, the redistricting war has. SCOTUS screws democracy while whining about people calling them out for screwing democracy. Our kitchen sponge is nasty, but my Special Lady Friend doesn’t care. According to rich people, calling someone rich is like using a racial slur. Poor babies. Gas is getting more expensive. Rude neighbors are the worst and nude neighbors are worse still. Casting demons out of the Internet with a holy mobile phone carrier. Yes, your newborn needs the vitamin K shot. New Orleans had better learn to swim. Communist spiders can’t stop Kyle Rittenhouse. Writing paper lists is good for your brain, but New York Times music lists are not. RIP Spirit Airlines. The only thing worse than flying Spirit is not being able to fly Spirit. No more buffalo. A billion-dollar ballroom. And happy 100 birthday to Sir David Attenborough, a man who has done much in the name of our magnificent planet and its wildlife, and so much more.
