Barry Foster posted:It's maddening. The media class lost their monopoly on the news to social media. It meant that they could pick and choose what issues to talk about, but also that if they wanted to bang on about something they could set the conversation. Now there's a firehose of information coming out such that the media class are not actually a filter, they just desperately try to ride the wave of news to maximise engagement, rather than shaping the news to do so.

It's one of those jokes which thinks it's really clever when actually its just over-explaining the gag. Of course the guy with a hot air balloon is a Tory oval office. He owns a hot air balloon

Returning to this discurse, I think the general view is that the stereotype of "black people are mentally inferior" is a massive part of the white supremacist mindset, which the JC, ostensibly being aware about long-held negative racial stereotypes, should be more careful with, but at the same time buffoon is hardly the smoking gun of them using dogwhistles. The author sucks regardless and has Jeremy Corbyn Delusion Syndrome.

The Question IRL posted:In slightly lighter news. I've heard this joke before but I still like it. The version I heard before had the balloonist thank the person, correct course and land in Winchester. When his friend asks he says “I had no idea where he meant, but an answer as technically correct and useless as that I knew I had to be above IBM Hursley.”

I heard it first at law school, as associate / partner. It works for any dynamic where the job you’re working requires precision and the person you’re working for is a total dick.
