Did something change with the babylon bee? Sudden surge of actually decent content all of a sudden

If you go to their site this is definitely the exception and not the rule. The rest of the articles today are bashing Zelensky.

idk, there seem to be some good ones, e.g

collapsed inline media

Right wingers are starting to act non/anti-christian more prominently from power, it seems. So Babylon bee has material from the right to make fun of. Or maybe not, it kind of always existed, now thinking.

Idk, I always felt that there was a conservative slant to the bee. It's never there 100% of the time, but it's kinda like if the Onion was written by a bunch of bootlickers.

This is exactly what it is. Seth Dillon was also the guy who recruited the Libs of TikTok lady, if memory serves.

Clicked the link and got a banner for a movie trailer which mocks the idea that January 6 was violent.
