    One of my favorite Onion headlines is: “Landlord forced to increase rent because they thought of a bigger number.”

      I’d like to share a revelation that I’ve had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species and I realized that you’re not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply and multiply until every natural resource is consumed and the only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus.

      Smith was wrong, he’s clearly never heard of Australia’s feral cat problem. But he’s right about humans. Calling someone a human is a grave insult.

      It’s been discovered recently that leeches can jump, so it’s not as inaccurate now.

      On May 22, 2024, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) conducted an unannounced raid on Cortland Management’s headquarters in Atlanta. This action was part of a criminal antitrust investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) into allegations that Cortland has been involved in a conspiracy to artificially inflate apartment rents.[
