Oh, that 100% tracks from that rag. By comparison, a similar article from NPR was a lot more careful about it, e.g. “Mangione has received widespread public support, despite state and federal officials discouraging it.” Good lesson in identifying bias.

NPR even had the message Luigi sent out thanking his supporters, which I think is nice.

One of these days I hope he just gets up from his desk, says “I’m tired” and leaves the oval office and wanders off into the sea.

Fair. But the nicknames aren’t funny or even catchy (but things like JD couch fucking was). Anyway, I didn’t want to start any fights, and I feel less guilty now that I said it out loud. I think it’s because I disagree that humor trivializes a serious topic, whatever that humor is. If anything, it keeps us from disengaging with this whole fucking shit show we’re dealing with. The real danger is people tuning out.

Tacos are always nice.

Yup, in particular just the straight faced people having to say it over and over, it reminds me of Boaty McBoatface. It’s so absurd, but I might just be losing my mind. I’m the type to crack jokes at a funeral, though- I think it’s a coping mechanism.

That’s a pretty fucked up thing to say to someone who agrees with you on facism. For someone often posting on humor communities, I’d expect better from you.

He did a few months (or was it a year?) with Firaxis, but it wasn’t his just recent work. Iirc it was UX stuff.

You raise a good point. What other flags could folks surrounded by “patriots” fly for good fun?

I wouldn’t do pizza, but I like absurdity. A high brow option might be a pipe… but no, I believe I might go with a lovely, steamy cup of coffee. Or perhaps an uncropped picture of a your pizza flag waving in the air. Yes, I do believe that would be absurd.

And if you hear all the reports, you even get a like achievement sticker for completion.

What’s the source for the obviously biased article about the twisted women? Takes me back to when they called protesters “thugs” during the Floyd protests.

I wonder, as someone who has a name similar to a famous character myself, how Luigi feels about people using the Nintendo character as his symbol of rebellion. He is ex-game industry, after all.

Look putting Musk’s stupidity aside (and believe me, I’m absolutely livid as a former educational researcher), I need to get this unpopular opinion off my chest.

It’s… actually kind of fucking funny to name an agency DOGE.

Hear me out! NPR today kept saying it over and over again with straght fucking faces (well, voices) and the whole god damned time I’m muttering to myself “it’s a meme, it’s a god damned meme”. It’s like if someone named an agency LOSS, I would fucking lose my shit. If this was any other timeline and a shitlord like Musk wasn’t the one making the joke, it would be funny.

Anyway that’s my guilty thought I wanted to share to you, random internet strangers. I hope in better times, President AOC has a SUS initiative or something. I just love reporters being forced to say this shit.

Wait, isn’t this pretty similar to how the very-obvious rapist Bill Cosby ultimately got off? That strategy… that actually might work, even without jury nullification.

Also I just gotta say… NYC Mayor and “hair and makeup” in the same sentence made me laugh. I know that’s a technical term but, c’mon.

I know, just more universal protests. Ironically I’m better off not skipping my job to protest, given I teach undergraduates… ya know, “indoctrinating” the future with nonsense like critical thinking. I do grant full excused absences to anyone protesting, though.

You’re right. Where is the sadist NSFW community?!

Can we all just agree to make the next four years all protests and worker strikes? You know, like how we had quarantine for COVID, universal protests for FASCISM.

I’mma be real though, the phase where he pretended to be progressive would have been better than the current nonsense. Most of the shit he does is disingenuous but a tech bro trying to impress cute leftists is far better for America than a tech bro trying to impress Nazis.

What a lovely peach! So pink and moist.

Yes that’s what I meant by likely. I think it was slightly more than a guess, though. Something about a percentage of people not having kids being good for evolution or something. Not sure how that works, though, so don’t that my word on that.
