It feels appropriate that one of my last jobs at work is presenting @praddenkeefe.bsky.social new book to eveeyone given that my unhealthy and longheld obsession with him is not only known globally but was mentioned in my bosses farewell email to my colleagues. I should mic drop and walk out after!

i really think zohran could get donald trump to say the words "workers of the world unite -- and we're uniting very strongly. we have nothing to lose but our chains, and you're hearing it more and more."

“a member of the DSA steering committee came up to me, big DSA member, strong DSA member, tears pouring from his eyes down onto his bright yellow zohran tote bag, and he said to me, he said, sir, labor is the source of all value. and i said, its so true. solidarity, comrade”

trump (after zohran mamdani charms him for 5 minutes): “we’re looking very strongly at implementing socialism, many people are saying it. they love redistribution of wealth and you’re hearing it more and more. there’s a term, they call it, a centrally planned economy. it’s an old fashioned term”

This reads to me very much like the tale of somebody who once said PRIMM-er by mistake in front of people and got the piss absolutely ripped out of them, and who after many many years of hard work and perseverance finally achieved control of the Merriam-Webster social media accounts
Here’s a primer on ‘primer.’
It’s pronounced ‘PRIMM-er’ if you mean “a small book” or “a short informative piece of writing.”
It’s pronounced ‘PRY-mer’ if you mean “an initial coat of paint.”

It’s an especially silly thing for him to say when the only reason the movie got made was because George Harrison put his hand in his own pocket to pay for it… because… the studios weren’t interested!
Old entertainers need to stop saying this shit. Firstly it's boring grumpiness. Two, It's not true and thirdly, if it's true it also doesn't make sense. How do you "not make" something that already exists
