A reminder: April Fool's jokes are prohibited on this site. This is a long-standing policy. Do not share or make any such jokes. And please be extra mindful tomorrow when sharing links, tweets, etc., because it's too easy to mistake a poorly executed "joke" for the truth. Thank you.

A good rule of thumb might be that if on April 1 you come across some alleged news that seems shocking (in a good or bad way), then you should wait at least a day to see if it's legit. For this site, that would include "OMG look who's running for this office!" or "whoa, she's resigning?" type stories.

IтАЩll settle for OMG, he fired JD and resigned the presidency! Elon is pissed and full of regret тАУ has decided to privately re-establish USAID and fund it for 10 years, rehiring all its highly-qualified employees. And going forward heтАЩs only supporting Democratic candidates. Moreover, he is now supporting the right MAGA: Mothers Against Greg Abbott.

Better yet: Kamala won and is actually running the country. WeтАЩve been watching a reality show in which Trump is installed in a fake White House but doesnтАЩt know it.

Thanks for this. April Fool's is by far my least favorite "holiday."

LetтАЩs hope there is a low turnout of fools in Wisconsin tomorrow, Tuesday April 1st.

Hard same. I looooooove a good, creative April Fool's gag, but far, far, far too many people think that just means, "Making shit up." One of many things the internet has ruined, alas!
