> Spirit Airlines tried to be the Dollar General of the skies. Then the big airlines beat it at its own game

Being "Dollar General" of #FlyingCattleCars is not a compliment. They basically pioneered bottom of the barrel awful travel, and then other airlines saw people were stupid enough, and broke enough, to pay it anyhow, and they all went down to that bottom. So Spirit got what they invoked.

So #CosmicJoker laughs.

I may need to read the first book on their list sooner rather than later because there are days when the #DivineHumor is particularly hard. But that is the way of the #CosmicJoker.

"...but like a poor marksman, you keep missing the target."

Apparently it happened again, and missed again.

All part of the #DivineHumor. I'll just keep praying to the #CosmicJoker to draw that card. 🃏

> California millionaire on hunt in Africa killed by elephants

Elephants- 1
Hunter asshole- 0

For record, he was not hunting elephants. That would be seriously challenging. He wanted "to kill a yellow-backed duiker, an antelope known for its timid personality...".

And so the #CosmicJoker laughs. Blessed be the #DivineHumor.

> Why “U.S. Insolvency” Wasn’t News https://www.independent.org/article/2026/04/17/greatly-exaggerated-rumors-of-the-u-s-government-insolvency/

In the #BadEconomy. Do all the #FactCheck you want to say the #USGovernment is not insolvent. Only reason it is not is that, unlike you and me, it can "cheat:" raise taxes, issue new debt, levies, etc.

But I can sense the #CosmicJoker grinning as reckoning day will come in time. Blessed be the #DivineHumor.

As that fine, upstanding mastermind of politics Dick Cheney said in 2002: "Deficits don't matter."

Yea, fuck it, just keep borrowing on the great credit card with no spending limit. Sooner or later the reckoning will come, and so the #CosmicJoker will laugh.

Blessed be the #DivineHumor.
