How we operate

Punch up

The joke is always on the powerful. Never on the people they hurt.

Satire with receipts

Every decree is absurd. Every demand behind it is real, costed, and winnable.

Nobody wears a crown

Not presidents, not billionaires, not us.

Show up

Memes are the door. The room is a polling place, a picket line, a city council meeting.

My boss is a duke now and he is worse
