Non-zero*

caDAVEr☭🔻🇵🇸 @sorryaboutearlier.bsky.social · 33m

Example of such a joke "non-zero % chance the last remnant of humanity will be a Minions cover of the complete Gilbert & Sullivan"

caDAVEr☭🔻🇵🇸 @sorryaboutearlier.bsky.social · 37m

"To sit in solemn silence in a dull, dark dock
In a pestilential prison, with a life-long lock
Awaiting the sensation of a short, sharp shock"

"lowbrow opera in its time, Gilbert & Sullivan enjoyed revivals & popularity throughout the 20th century. Their writing & rhythm styles were so clever & exacting, excerpts of their work are still used in modern-day vocal warm-ups. Replacing that precision with Minions-speak is a humorous contrast."

Guy who posts an image of his text-based joke, rather than posting the joke itself. EXCEPT the hover text always explains the joke

"You have deep-seated survival anxieties. And you don't like bigots, bullies, snobs, or hypocrites. Subconsciously there are many people you hate."

"Consciously, sir, consciously," Yossarian corrected in an effort to help. "I hate them consciously."

"You're antagonistic to the idea of being robbed, exploited, degraded, humiliated, or deceived. Misery depresses you. Ignorance depresses you. Persecution depresses you. Violence depresses you. Corruption depresses you. You know, it wouldn't surprise me if you're a manic-depressive!"

"Yes, sir. Perhaps I am."

"Don't try to deny it."

"I'm not denying it, sir," said Yossarian, pleased with the miraculous rapport that finally existed between them. "I agree with all you've said.

I really recommend browsing a reddit called "Is this AI?" for this purpose. people post questionable images and commenters weigh in on their validity, but are required to provide specifics as to their reasoning. once you start seeing the signs, it gets easier and easier over time

I feel like Catch 22 is one of the most obviously leftist books just bc the protagonist is a smart guy who understands the insanity around him in perfect clarity, but nobody takes him seriously because it's also turned him into a miserable, high-strung neurotic

And what's more leftist than that

Some stories about my friend Kaleb, on the occasion of his funeral:

IT'S JUST DIFFERENT VALLEYS, THAT'S ALL

Kaleb Horton has departed this life, and for those left behind there is nothing that reconciles any part of what’s happened with what should’ve happened. He had a family, grieving now. He had friends,...

The essence of Bari Weiss: not reporting, but crude partisan propaganda presented in the form of reporting—and usually pronounced from the mouths of anonymous sources which likely don't exist. Expect this sort of prolefeed at CBS News soon.
