“The state funeral for Queen Elizabeth II in London was on Monday, a lengthy procession in which King Charles and his three siblings walked behind the coffin for 1.5 hours. That’s not easy – for years, the royal family’s only form of exercise has been walking back statements from Andrew.” —Stephen Colbert
“The procession required 22 miles of barriers in central London alone. Of course, those in the city who wanted to know exactly where the procession was at any one moment along the route could just download the Domino’s Monarch Tracker.” —Stephen Colbert
“Florida governor, Ron DeSantis, sent two planes full of Venezuelan asylum seekers to Martha’s Vineyard without any forewarning. Turns out, it was way worse than we imagined because he actually abducted them from Texas. For a guy who acts so concerned about borders, he doesn’t seem to know where his state ends.” —Stephen Colbert
“Why is the governor of Florida spending his taxpayers’ money to snatch asylum seekers in Texas? Because he can read their minds. DeSantis justified his actions by saying that most of the asylum seekers intended to go to Florida. Come on, no one intends to go to Florida. You’re forced to go there for two reasons: you’re about to die and want to eat pudding next to an alligator, or you want to do that Disney thing and build your own light saber.” —Stephen Colbert

“A magisterial collection. A combination of Bukowski’s Last Night of the Earth
and Orwell’s 1984.”
