"You know Scarecrow, I've met him, not such a nice guy, not nice but tremendous at hallucinations with fear, they say no one can resist him, actually I'm the only one who's ever done it, walked away, they said it couldn't be done, just like when they said I'd never find all the Riddler trophies"

ASPCA-style commercials but for coke chemists

I think of him as a mascot for Paramount

he's just desperately trying to cope with the trauma he inflicted on himself from past poor picks, I guess

Please don't excuse my cat's hyperactivity

[nodding knowingly] my cat takes the same approach with watering holes, we must follow the masters if we're to survive

2) is bad luck, that's why it's absent

1) pun score: 9 (-1 for obviousness)
3) delivery and timing: 10
3) veracity: incomplete, but reports of probability and what pros call the "haha" factor takes it to a 9.5
4) I wanna circle back and bask in 2) because deliciousness

Hey stop it, we have a hypervigilant moron heading the FBI, best i can hope for is planting a whoopie cushion while he's passed out

With any luck and a massive voter repudiation, we will work to erase the idiocy that's been done, but some things have happened that can't be taken back

We can't go through such a carnival of imbeciles and expect to resume our former standing. Whether the masses voted for it or not, we gotta pay the fool bill now, much to my chagrin

and how much we lose in the process. Personally, I think we deserve a right lashing

We're gonna be taught a lesson one way or another, just depends on how widespread the lesson reaches

But even that is not enough of a cynical excuse

It's crazy what people will tolerate as long as there's a premium medium for distraction

You're not American but I took that exactly as you did, which was 100% accurate, we were six feet under at that (lack of response) moment

I mean, obviously that's what society is saying it will take, so if that happens we're golden

I think our big coming out party will be when a MAGA dude molests a kid on national TV, that'll do it, right?

Exactly. It doesn't take a modern article to point out this (simplified) old strat: identify a govt function/program/ideology, then break it, then privatize it for your own ends. I'm a moron and I've known this. Problem is there aren't enough morons of the right kind, conscious ones

Like I love every well-made point on Bluesky and wherever else but the middle school historian in me knows that sh*t won't change until it gets worse, state of affairs has to dirty people's feet before most of em will give a shi*t, and even then the right media messaging has to be made

Yep. We opine against em cuz they're so transparent, but the random dude or gal with no media literacy won't know any of that, and sadly that's a lot of people

Can still remember when I saw his single in a K-Mart, titled "Damn" or something, and he was all hard bodied presentation. Next thing I know he's mister worldwide. We have to go back to making artists play it where it lays

What used to be relegated to fringe blue collar diatribes and forum manifestos now has the might of massively bought-in and influential companies behind it, good job crony capitalism

I have been hospitalized with second-hand embarrassment

You, because you're funny, and you, because you're funny, and you, because...you've got a weird voice and you're their brother

nah not masochistic enough for that level of self-teasing

ah it's Son of Scotty (from Billy Madison)

mom is hip to the holidays, let's skip and meet up Tuesday instead, we will move it one day forward every time she catches on

Ukrainian cat activated. FPV drone eliminated. 🫡
