Recorded for posterity

Phone screenshot of a Bluesky post written by @pfrazee.com in reply to a disconnected post. The reply reads "'Torment Nexus' comes from this tweet and is often used now to describe the kind of negative experiences you can have with social networks, like getting dogpiled or harassed or being pushed into conflict".
The reply also has an attached screenshot of a 2021 Tweet by @AlexBlechman which completely contradicts the post it is attached to, saying "Sci-Fi Author: In my book I invented the Torment Nexus as a cautionary tale

Tech company: At long last, we have created the Torment Nexus from classic sci-fi novel Don't Create The Torment Nexus"

The post by @pfrazee.com appropriately has 767 comments, 613 reskeets, 580 quote responses and only 227 likes.

Can't find anything on Tony Robinson. Also can't find anything on Tim McInnerney. Are Baldrick and Lord Percy the only two Blackadder actors smart enough to keep their mouth's shut?

2 Screenshots from Blackadder II. 1st has Lord Percy smiling as Baldrick wearing a flower crown. Subtitles say "Give us a kiss" and "Alright, if you say so". 2nd screenshot shows Baldrick kissing a surprised Lord Percy on the lips.

Of course not everyone in Riverdale was bi! Jugghead was ace as fuck.

Picture of Betty's Pin-up from Archie comics. Betty and a hatless Jughead are sitting at a diner with Jughead having ordered two double cheeseburgers and a milkshake. Betty asks "Juggie, how come you have never had a STEADY girlfriend?" Jughead replies "Just LUCKY I guess!"

Mark Carney before the election: "Stand up for Canada. No Elbows Down." Mark Carney after the election: "Stand up for Canada? No, Elbows Down!"

Quote from Jean Paul-Sartre which reads "Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past."

I don't think I'd trust Kronk to run a decent cafe. A dingy greasy spoon diner on the other hand.

Kronk from the Emperor's new groove wearing a chef's hat repeating an order back to an offscreen waitress. "Three Oinkers wearing pants, plate of hot air, basket of grandma's breakfast, change the bull to a gill, got it."

The first demotivational poster I ever saw.

Demotivational poster seen on photo.org of someone in a Darth Vader costume standing knee deep in the ocean pouring water from a filtered jug into a large bottle. The caption reads "SENSE: This picture makes none".

I've just run into too many assholes online who are just far too eager to use a specific slur every chance they get to sound convincing.

Tweet from Dean Browning, an obviously old white professor from Pennsylvania, from Nov 10, 2020 which states "I'm a black gay guy and I can personally say that Obama did nothing for me, my life only changed a little bit and it was for the worse. Everything is so much better under Trump though. I feel respected - which I never do when democrats are involved."
