Jester Memes is an independent satirical news site. Every weekday it reads what the world is reporting, picks the stories with a joke buried in them, and publishes an original meme and a short written take on each one. Nothing here is straight reporting. It is commentary, and it is meant to be funny.
The site is free to read. It is paid for by advertising, which is why you will see ad slots on the pages.
Jester is run by an independent developer — one person, not a media company, working from India and publishing for a worldwide audience. There is no newsroom and no staff. That is a limitation and it is stated here plainly rather than dressed up.
Editorial questions, corrections, complaints, and takedown requests all go to the same place: supportjester@gmail.com, or the contact form. A real person reads them.
The process is automated, and the automation is the point — it is what lets one person publish daily. It runs in this order:
1. Reading. Published news from established outlets and wire services is collected continuously. Only headlines, summaries and links are used; full articles are never republished.
2. Choosing. Most news is not funny, and most of what is collected is discarded. Stories involving death, violence, disaster, abuse, or anyone's private grief are filtered out before anything is written. What survives is the absurd end of the news.
3. Writing and drawing. The take and the image are generated by AI under editorial rules set by the operator. Images are original AI artwork — Jester does not republish press photographs it has no licence to.
4. Checking. Every generated image is reviewed automatically before publication, and anything that fails is held back for a human decision rather than published.
Every AI-generated image carries an "AI-generated" mark. Where a story is really about a video somebody else published, Jester embeds that video from its original platform and credits the publisher, rather than passing it off as its own.
Each meme page names the news story behind it and links to the original outlet. If you want the facts, follow that link — the original publisher is the source, and Jester is the joke about it. Longer pieces in the Jester Desk section list every source used at the foot of the article.
No jokes about death, tragedy, or violence against real people. No fabricated quotes presented as real. No content sexualising anyone. No targeting of private individuals. Public figures are fair game for satire about their public conduct — nothing else.
If something published here crosses one of those lines, it is a mistake rather than a policy, and it will be removed. Tell us and it comes down.
Satire still has to get its facts right. If a meme rests on something that turns out to be untrue, the page is corrected or removed. Requests are handled at supportjester@gmail.com, usually within 48 hours.
