    10 ‘Subversive’ Jokes to Land You in an East German Prison0

    Making fun of politicians is an American tradition. Some jokes cross lines of good taste; some are unfair or unfunny.

    The ‘OK Boomer’ Meme Comes From a Place of Insecurity1

    Bernie Sanders: ‘Thank God’ for Capitalism0

    Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) rarely expresses thanks to the divine, much less for the system of global capitalism.

    Late one afternoon in 1969, photographer Art Brewer took a stroll along O’ahu’s North Shore. At Pipeline beach, amid the world’s most sublime waves, Brewer encountered a boy who resembled a white-haired, blue-eyed Mowgli, clinging to an unusually short surfboard, 30 years before that design became the industry standard. “I’m Bunker Spreckels,” said the boy,
