You should read all of them in college and get a certificate, and then move on to listening to all 15 albums

It's cool that the world's only remaining superpower is run by guys whose main shared thing is that they are insanely bad at posting and homicidally desperate for a laugh. The Flop Sweat Regime

The thing is, it isn't just on these shitheads to not play Riyadh—now the ethical responsibility shifts to the audience, to not go to their shows or listen to their podcasts, to banish them from polite society

Fuckin yikes, man

Some comics were transparent about their willingness to ignore their moral convictions in order to play at the festival. “So what, they have slaves?” asked Tim Dillon in a podcast segment that led to his firing from the festival. “They’re paying me enough money to look the other way.” Pete Davidson offered a similar take, acknowledging in a chat with Von that people have asked him why, given his father’s death on 9/11, he would take a paycheck from the Saudi government. He did not address the criticism directly, but he did suggest he was happy to forget 9/11 for the right price: “I just know I get the routing, and then I see the number, and I go, ‘I’ll go.’”

Oh okay, so let me explain. No it has not been abolished. It's not a direct comparison to WWII, it's meant as overstatement for comic effect regarding how obsolete third person is now. Hope that helps!

Do you really not understand the post?

AOP @adamoprice.bsky.social · 9d

Feel like writers (like myself) who still care about third person are like that Japanese soldier in the Philippines who continued fighting for 30 years after the war was over

Belatedly realized the joke should be "medbed sticker on a Cadillac." Ah well

Out on the road today, I saw a Deadhead sticker on a medical bed

Trump tonight appears to have pushed the false "medbed" conspiracy theory, which has spread in the far-right internet over the years. www.yahoo.com/news/qanon-c...
