The Mocking Post

Who’s Behind All This Mockery?

Norman Mockwell - America’s Most Emotionless Patriot. Married to the pursuit of satire. Divorced from shame.

We are The Mocking Post! Carefully Twisted. Lightly Seasoned.

The Mocking Post is a proudly independent newsroom run by a small but potent crew of editors, reporters, and roaming opinionators who take everything too seriously — especially humor.

We cover national developments, regional absurdities, workplace politics, emotional trends, and whatever else gets left behind in the group chat. Some of our stories are longform. Some barely survive the headline. One was filed entirely from the back of a rideshare.

We don’t follow a style guide. We follow instinct, caffeine, and a suspicious sense of timing.

At the center is our editorial staff: a rotating crew of high-functioning misfits we call Mockitors. Each brings a distinct voice, a mild feud, and several unread HR memos. The Mockitors are dedicated contributors — writers, experts, and one former magician — who somehow meet deadlines while ignoring all formatting standards and losing the rabbit. And yes, that one Mockitor did lead a workplace walkout over poorly written horoscopes.

Everyone you see on the site was selected for their ability to say what others won’t, shouldn’t, or legally can’t (but we found a way).

We’re not here to explain the world.
We’re here to reflect it — distorted, refracted, and occasionally wearing a disguise.

We are not trying to reinvent the clowns,
We are just holding up the mirror whether you want to look or not.

We Mock power, without becoming it.
We Mock culture without escaping it.
We Mock ourselves without collapsing into cynicism.

Welcome to The Mocking Post.

And if something stings…
maybe you were the headline.

To become the most trusted source of untrustworthy headlines — where truth, parody, and public therapy collide.

We envision a world where satire isn’t just entertainment — it’s resistance, reflection, and sometimes the only way to stay sane.

The Mocking Post exists to lead that movement, one punchline at a time.

We aim to:

  • Elevate cultural critique through wit, not rage
  • Make the absurd unavoidable — and undeniably funny
  • Build a platform where satire keeps up with the speed of disbelief
  • Turn headlines into history lessons and group chat canon

To chronicle the world as it might be, probably is, or definitely should or shouldn’t be.

At The Mocking Post, our mission is to observe culture, power, and human behavior with a magnifying glass in one hand and a slingshot in the other.

We cover the news you didn’t know you needed, the opinions you’ll regret agreeing with, the trends that make you question or love your species, and politics that make you say “WTF?”

We aim to spark conversation, provoke reflection, and occasionally trigger confused group chats.

We don’t chase the truth.
We make it feel cornered.

We live in a world where billionaires cosplay as astronauts, politicians can’t remember what decade they’re in, and algorithms define reality — despite never understanding sarcasm, nuance, or group chats.

That’s where we come in.
The Mocking Post exists because reality didn’t just outpace parody —
It lapped it, stole its wallet, and posted about it on Threads.
We’re not here to save the world.
We’re just here to make it slightly less unbearable.
We roast not to destroy, but to deflate.
We mock not to divide, but to expose what’s already broken.
And when the truth hurts, we say:
Make it weird.

The First Amendment is our co-writer. It protects our Freedom of Speech! Without it, this site would be a blank page — or worse, a press release!

Don’t believe it? Here’s a Supreme Court ruling that protected satire and parody under the First Amendment!

What we believe:

  • Everyone is roastable. No one’s sacred. Not even us.
  • Laughter is rebellion. If they fear mockery, they probably deserve it.
  • Reality needs a rewrite. We’re just helping it along.
  • Relection isn’t just about therapy, it’s also about reading TMP.
  • Absurdity is a public service. You’re welcome.
  • We’re not left or right. We are observers.
  • We’re just up late… reading headlines, muttering to ourselves, and sharpening punchlines.

…and, where’s the coffee?

I shared a Mocking Post article thinking it was real. Now my uncle’s off the grid and my aunt follows us on Threads. No notes.

If Shaquille O’Neal ever reads TMP, we hope he says: “This is the only mockery that can dunk.”

At first I thought this was real journalism. Then I realized it was better than real journalism. Manalogue is a tear-jerker.

My boss asked why I was cackling during a Zoom call.
I said, “I’m reading the news.” That’s how I got promoted.

I showed my client an article from The Mocking Post. We stared at each other. Laughed. She bought the house.
Thank you! Chaching!

I thought it was satire. Then I saw the real headline it was based on. Now I just forward both and let my friends sort it out.
