News that I missed, courtesy of The Babylon Bee:
NEW YORK, NY—The New York Times called The Babylon Bee dangerous far-right misinformation but has now retracted that claim and issued a correction after reviewing the data and admitting The Babylon Bee actually has a really high accuracy rate in predicting the future.
“We are sorry we called The Babylon Bee misinformation,” the Times wrote on its corrections page. “After further review, it’s clear The Babylon Bee is reporting real news just a few days ahead of time. The stories just keep coming true.”
The Times said it did a study on Babylon Bee stories and found that while the whole site just has two jokes, over 99.99% of them are actually prophecies that are fulfilled usually within a couple of weeks of posting. Given The Bee’s extraordinary track record, the Times was forced to admit that The Babylon Bee is real news, “far more real than anything the Times has ever published.”
“We apologize for ever suggesting The Babylon Bee was anything other than real news a week ahead of time.”
Go here to read the rest. In order for satire to be effective, it must portray truth through exaggeration and caustic humor. The Babylon Bee has mastered that art and The New York Times, which humorlessly traffics in lies, is deeply envious and afraid. They should be.
To be fair, there is far more truth in The Babylon Bee than in the 99% lies NYT.
Today’s headline @ Instapundit: “The People That Ruined The World Economy Gather to Discuss How To Fix The World
Economy.” Absolutely true.
Also, OT. The recent $!8,000. invisible sculpture sale is symptomatic of the systemic scams (Biden won, climate change, crypto-, NFT, racism, etc.) the oligarchs expect us to swallow.

A corrections page . . . ?!
Gee, wouldn’t it be nice if the Times would review their claims BEFORE publishing them? I think it used to be called “journalism”.
