The best thing about the "No Way To Prevent This" article is that they seem to be re-posting it nearly verbatim, with just the locations changed, when a new mass shooting happens.

Onion-esque sites not run by the Onion are usually terrible, but I sometimes find The Hard Times to be pretty good:

The Hard Times has some great ones. A recent one I'm partial to is Punk Dad Prefers Son's Earlier Stuff.

Oh man that punk dad one - I saw the pic and thought "that's not Eugene!" as I was right near the spot where that was taken in Spokane yesterday (with my son, whose earlier, colic-influence work I definitely do not prefer):

if we're allowed to do hard times articles, this one started out slow but had a few great moments halfway in:
