WASHINGTON—In the most significant move to help working families in decades, a group of U.S. senators introduced a new childcare bill this week that would allocate a single microwave for the nation’s kids to cook their own dinner with. “This landmark bill promises to provide latchkey kids with the essential microwave they need to heat up whatever they are able to scrounge from the refrigerator,” said the bill’s co-sponsor Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), noting that the $25 second-hand microwave from Facebook Marketplace would allow as many as a few children to have hot food to eat while their parents were at work. “Without this essential microwave, these children would be forced to eat their chicken nuggets cold while sitting alone in their darkened home waiting for their parents to finish yet another double shift. Despite this, Republicans want to block the bill, claiming kids should just warm their food over a trash can fire so taxpayers don’t have to foot the bill.” At press time, the bill had been signed into law, but the microwave had reportedly not been used due to the children not having any food to heat up in the appliance.

Local self-declared handyman James Davidson has been offered a job as a Boeing engineer after his amazing work attempting to put a flat-pack cupboard together and just assuming that the many left over parts are just the extra pieces they add sometimes.

Excited about this one. Lent debuff hit me hard this year.

After Nike released a new England kit featuring a St George’s cross in a colour other than red, Simon Williams was quick to take to social media screaming “Go Woke go broke!” without noticing that he hasn’t been rewarded financially for his life as a serial bigot.

Sources claim that Williams, variously a bit racist and misogynistic with frequent outbursts of homophobia, is often broke despite being a thousand miles from being considered ‘woke’.

Not the Onion, but still great satire.
