Facebook seems to have deleted @TheBabylonBee's post saying Senator Hirono wanted to weigh ACB against a duck for "violating our Community Standards." We requested a review but they haven't gotten back to us.

We finally tell a third conservative joke and they delete it. Though we stole this one.

Facebook is also penalizing us by restricting monetization with ominous warnings of further penalties for future violations.

Social media companies have full, unilateral control over whether a website lives or dies at the push of a button. That's why we decided to become reader-supported -- and we're deeply thankful for each of you who subscribes.

I look forward to you also condemning The Onion for not labeling its articles as satire.

Which one of these sites clearly says satire when you google it? 🤔

People "falling for" satire is as old as satire itself. It's not unique to The Bee. snopes.com/?s=the+onion

Libs unironically sharing the @TheBabylonBee article about NBA players wearing lace collars is pretty funny

@snopes

.@snopes is running full defense for the Harris campaign

Haha. "Well, see, Harris doesn't support any restrictions on abortion and supported laws allowing late-term abortion and allowing doctors to let abortion survivors die, but she didn't EXPLICITLY say the words 'up to the moment of birth' so MIXTURE."

These are the semantics games "fact-checkers" play. They interpret a claim or accusation against their favorite politicians ultra-literally so they can find it false.

"To go back is nothing but death; to go forward is fear of death, and life everlasting beyond it. I will yet go forward." - Bunyan

This little line tucked into Pilgrim's Progress changed my life. The idea of slow, steady, faithful progress in the face of suffering and death, rather than big, exciting leaps and bounds all the time, defines me.

I was the "Radical" and "Crazy Love" and "seashells" generation where we all wanted to be missionaries and felt like failures if God had something different for us.

@destiny4christ

I don't do the boycott thing, and I think it's a little silly to consume art only from people you agree with. But @destiny4christ and I did finally just cancel @netflix. Cuties was just the straw that broke the camel's back -- they've been bugging me for a while.

@destiny4christ

@destiny4christ @netflix Now I can buy a different Blu-Ray every month with the money I save. Suggestions for my first one?

I actually wonder if streaming has made us appreciate shows and movies less. When I used to just have a handful of DVDs, I'd rewatch them, I'd cherish them, I'd carefully decide what to add to my collection next. Now it's just an endless firehose of content we're just numb to.
