It is too easy to make an opinion on what they get or don’t get. If they get it, they are incensed. If they don’t, they know it is something popular as a meme and try to own it. And in doing so, just prove to everyone they don’t get it. Their humor is the same. They definitely do not understand humor that doesn’t hurt someone in some way. It is weird to realize there are mindsets that actually wall off a person from seeing satire or humor correctly. And even take it personally when they don’t get it.
Like Becca, I didn’t know it was a spoof. No reason to think it was, actually, given DHS’s actual posts these days. Nothing weird in learning a little about a line of movies I knew nothing about before and sharing what I’d learned with others here like me.
From what I understand, MTG has managed to scoop up enough $$$$$ in her 5 years in Congress to never have to work again. I think her comment about living her best life out of the public eye might be the truth.
Tatiana Schlossberg, granddaughter of late President John F. Kennedy, revealed Saturday she has terminal cancer.
It has struck me for years that the Kennedy clan has suffered disproportionately from unspeakable tragedies. Perhaps it’s just statistical probability, when you have nine children of Joseph P and Rose Kennedy, three of whom died childless, with over 100 children and grandchildren among the remaining six. Google AI counts, for Ethel Kennedy alone, “nine children, 34 grandchildren, and 24 great-grandchildren”. Plus spouses.
Do his flying monkeys also have a problem with RUD (Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly)? If so, it is going to be raining monkey parts around here. Get an umbrella.
The Kennedys have been blessed with wealth and long, healthy lives in general. Setting aside the assassinations of JFK and RFK, most of the early deaths have been rich people’s mishaps (3 private plane accidents). With a very large family, there are going to be cancers and heart attacks and so on. The main difference is that their fame puts every death in the public domain so it seems like they are beset by a lot of tragedy. That said, the death of a young woman with small children is always a tragedy no matter their name.
OK, done with the bike ride and the shower. What I thought about on the bike was how similar, but actually worse than the Munich Agreement the new peas plan is. A third party gives away a sovereign nation. That hasn’t ended well so far, but as they say on Bullwinkle “This time for sure.”
I’m inclined to agree with the people who consider this the US’s formal withdrawal from NATO. I don’t think Europe will trust us because we may choose to install another numpty in the White House. We’re not a reliable partner anymore. It also means that contrary to ushering in some kind of global peace event, Trump just kicked off a new arms race. Think I’ll buy me some SAAB and BAE stock, there’s probably growth there.
The monkeys seem less prone to that kind of failure, but they will probably send you a bomb threat. I have a bad feeling that Grok can probably give you really detailed instructions on how to build a pipe bomb.
