When you look up “aggressively stupid“ in the dictionary:

Senate dullards hold a poster above Senator Eric Schmitt who thinks he has caught Jack Smith in a lie, but all the poster shows is how aggressively stupid Schmitt is.

Does anyone remember when the Post used to be brave enough to have a movie made about their reporting?

Movie poster for “All the President’s Men” with picture of stars Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman in a newsroom. Tagline at top reads “The most devastating detective story of this century.” Movie credits are underneath.

Spelling bee is not happy with me.

Spelling bee game with center hex “y” surrounded by six hexes containing “h,o,a,r,k, and y.” At top the game reports the selected word is not in the word list. The word the user was trying to submit is “ofay.”

It’s somewhat amazing that the @washingtonpost.com would publish anything by clueless idiot Megan McArdle accusing someone else of cluelessness.

Washington Post: Opinion: The interview that exposed academia’s cluelessness. By Megan McArdle. Image of university building with people walking in front of it.

@washingtonpost.com do you want to know yet another reason you are shedding subscribers?

Opinion by the Washington Post editorial board titled “the supreme court’s birthright overreach: the case could have been decided on narrower grounds.” Photo shows Supreme Court building in background with crowds of people in front.

Found one of my old ticket stubs in a book I haven’t looked at in many years…

Funny, your clown car editors writing that headline as if everyone is as stupid and shortsighted as they are.

People losing jobs, Dow rises…all you really need to know about the ethics of finance capital.

News alert from CNBC that reads “Dow rises 400 points as weak ADP jobs report spurs rate cut hopes.” Adjacent is an image of four men in blue trading jackets on the stock exchange floor.

No wonder China was so willing to agree on the TikTok sale…

Clip of news story with heading “Donald Trump.” Headline reads “Trump says Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch likely part of US TikTok investor group.” Subheadline: “US president tells Fox News ‘a man named Lachlan is involved…that’s a very unusual name, Lachlan Murdoch.’”

“Giants.” Someone needs to tell CBS it isn’t 2013 anymore.

CBS Sports alert that reads “Manchester United bounced. EPL giants shocked by fourth-tier Grimsby Town in penalty kicks 12-11, eliminated from Carabao Cup in second round.

Jesus, guys. This was you not long ago:

Hill post from 18 October 2024 linking to their story whose headline proclaims “Kamala’s newest lie: Trump will send the army after you.” Accompanying the headline is a photo of Harris delivering a speech with her left arm raised and index finger pointing upward. The post is a great example of The Hill’s trash journalism.

I know it’s early going, and I hope West Ham pull out of the bottom three, but the relegation field looks pretty sweet right now.

Yet another reason I canceled my @washingtonpost.com subscription. I can imagine the headline in 1941: “How Tojo and his inner circle threw the US and the rest of the world off guard before they struck key naval sites.” Worthless rag.

Idiotic Washington Post alert: “how Trump and his inner circle threw Iran and the rest of the world off guard before the US struck key nuclear sites.”

So maybe carrying water for the guy who told you exactly how much he hated democracy wasn’t a good thing, right?

Just when you thought the clown show couldn’t get clownier.

News story. Headline reads “Trump taps Fox News host Jeanine Pirro to be interim US attorney for DC.” Accompanying photo shows Jeanine Pirro purportedly in a sober moment wearing a red pantsuit with a white top underneath. She stands against a railing with high rise buildings in the background.

Poor Carney having to pretend he’s talking to a serious person capable of adult reasoning.

Canadian PM Mark Carney sitting next to Donald Trump in the gaudily redecorated Oval Office. Carney has a serious expression on his face as if Trump is saying something meaningful.
