She got that Ziggy Stardust drip

Isn't that the woman he groomed?

Biden: Here's a peace deal!

Netanyahu: No lol

Biden: This is Hamas' fault!

Why were people praying at his tomb when he wasn't a saint yet? Why did he have a tomb and not just a grave? Lots of weird shit happening here.

Found this on his wikipedia page:

Carlo Acutis was born in London, England, on 3 May 1991, to Andrea Acutis and Antonia Salzano, members of wealthy Italian families.[4][6][7][8] The Acutis family had a prominent position in the Italian insurance industry.[9] The Salzanos ran a publishing company.[10] Acutis' maternal great-grandmother was born in the United States and came from a family of landowners in New York.[11]

So this kid's rich parents made a hefty donation to the church and now he's a saint? Is that how it works?

Not-pipe-ism is definitely a big mainstay of meme culture in general. Steamed Hams leaps to mind - the meme isn't about the jokes in the skit, it's literally just the fact that it exists, which is why all the memes are about transforming it into other shit. Like there's nothing funny about Soviet surrealist animation, so when someone turned Steamed Hams into an homage to it the homage itself wasn't actually funny, but the fact that somebody made it is deeply hilarious.

I dunno, it feels like some Signs and Simulacra shit. I'm too stupid to really grasp it, but maybe someone else in here can expand on it.

The ones that weren't weird enough to be appalling to the mainstream were the ones that were heavily commercialized in the 2010s. Comic books, Nintendo, Studio Ghibli, that kind of stuff. What's left to be isolated "fandoms" are the ones that were full of weird screwballs to begin with, like Paradox games, and since weird screwballs in these cohorts were extremely online, they were radicalized in the mid-late 2010s.

Damn turns out it's hard to run for Senate when you've alienated your entire voter base and all of your political allies

Who could have possibly predicted this?

I keep thinking about this because it's so fucking funny. "We've invented a way to reintroduce some of the emotional nuance innate in vocal communication and add further symbolic references to text!" "My god, you're an imbecilic caveman! You're destroying civilization!"

Of all the things to get Ted Kaczynski over, emojis is easily the funniest one

However, please keep this in mind - that being a Nazi sympathizer does not automatically invalidate one's opinions on other topics.

If you think that Nazis are worth sympathy, then you've demonstrated that your decision-making ability is warped enough that it does invalidate your other opinions.
