I assure you I only found humor in people personifying a person into “Amber Lamps,” I did not recognize I was laughing alongside others who were laughing for racist reasons centered around poking fun of urban phonetics.

…ok so for this one I was laughing at him thinking he confidently could break his cuffs and people turning it into songs and adjacent memes, I didn’t think at the time about the power dynamics and systemic racism surrounding the incident at the time.

…ok so for this one, um, so that’s MS paint, a chainsaw, and a banned website… yes, ok you know what? I’ll just uh, I’ll see myself out.

I wish I didn’t have an easier time empathizing with animals than I did people; rats are so friggin’ cute

Hell if I watch an ant long enough I’ll find them cute too. Wiping dirt off their little antennae 🥺

I’m probably gonna die getting bit by a rabid raccoon as I try to pet them.

As much as I enjoyed Idiocracy when it came out, I wish its proposed answer/crux of the issue wasn’t “smart people should have kids” and instead focused on educating the ones that are already here/brought into this world.

Yeah they’re kinda trapped into playing the capitalism game/as are we all. Find me a non-profit, non-chromium, non-fork of Firefox and I’ll eat my hat…

…and I’d love to eat my hat. Won’t someone make me eat my hat??

Once they’ve deemed there’s enough professional journalists disbanded to start getting dirty.

Strange how it went down without much resistance.

I’ll hop on this!

I mean when even the NY Post gets shot, I don’t think there’s a question about it.

Frankly I’m surprised they haven’t resorted to the scramblers they had out at the Dakota access pipeline.

I’m gonna be honest with ya; housing prices have gotten completely incompatible with my gambling addiction, pair that with streaming services having no interest in my pitch to have pre-recorded clown interludes between cartoon episodes, and you’ve got this: the only affordable place someone like me can live, the sewers.

It ain’t so bad. Years of wearing a rubber nose has sealed my nostrils shut, so I don’t mind the smell.

The roommates situation on the other hand?…

Hey! Hands off my lunch! Geraldo? Shouldn’t you be on Fox?

Geraldo: yes, but their craft services just doesn’t compare to the real thing.
