Because it was never a lampoon

Feersum Beasts@lockfarm.bsky.social

There's something about comedians who rise to fame on characters that play on awkward social anxiety (Gervais, Cleese, SBC). Why do so many of them turn into the characters they lampoon?

Those Boston Dynamics employees need to quit, start a company and make robot squirrels to distract the robot dogs. Actions speak louder than words.

The pattern is obvious to even the most neurotypical brain: Elon Musk is a lying liar fraud.

"Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART)... is considering cutting 70% of its service and closing up to 15 of 50 stations, some 30%. Caltrain, the area’s leading local commuter rail system, could discontinue weekend service and shutter up to a third of its stations."

Go fuck yourselves. Put all the US booze back on the shelves and watch us not buy it. Maybe visit D.C. with your big ideas about how to end trade wars.

Have you noticed, lately, or noticed people around you commenting, that there just seems to be no money anymore. There's no money for companies to make the tv shows you like, the video games you like, the local diner you like shut down, no one you know can find a job. Think about that in context of

AI is now the biggest investment in all of US history as a percentage of GDP. Datacenter construction is up, all other construction is down. "AI Is Squeezing Out the Rest of the Stock Market," reported WSJ 2 days ago. We basically bet the whole economy on the most optimistic visions panning out.

seeing conservative men debate how to dress online is very funny. can't dress up or wear interesting casualwear bc you've made any visible interest in dress to be a sign of homosexuality. but you feel the need to dress better bc you've linked dress to respectability. a prison of your own making.

I believe fraternity hazing and military hazing and sports team hazing where men abuse each other is acclimating them into a broader culture of abuse where they will then believe it is their right to abuse other more vulnerable people. It’s so insidious. And that’s also why I think men defend it
