Sounds like a candidate for the easiest job in the world. “My job is to prevent something that doesn’t exist.” Okay. Sounds like a perfect nepotism gig for someone’s idiot relative.

“But the skies of today are not the skies of my youth,” Butler said.

No shit. There are more jets and more airports than there were in your youth.

He has just given himself an eighteen month deadline to succeed or lose his own job. At least, that’s how I’d interpret it if I was in a position to fire his ass.

At least it’s a pop-up, and not something intended as a permanent business. If it does well enough, though…

Dude. That’s NOT a brag.

It would be better if this didn’t happen at all, but I’d rather see headlines like this than some retiree getting scammed out of their life savings.

The only thing that surprises me is that it took so long. We all know that Trump is a racist, child-raping POS, so I’m more curious about the people who are genuinely surprised that he did this.

I need an ELI5 version of this. (Note: this comment is a critique of me, not the author or the content of the article.)

Edit: if “nerdsnipe” isn’t in the dictionary, it totally should be.

Outstanding story

It’s always nice when the fascists lose, but the fact that gerrymandering exists at all is a significant problem.

Very punchable face. I want to yank those earrings out with pliers, too.

Solid argument

I still think autoerotic asphyxiation is the most embarrassing way to die, but, thanks to this article, I’ve now been introduced to a close second.

The fact that he was a billionaire diamond magnate just makes it easier to laugh.

THE LIBS… somehow.
