I'm trying to explain pictorial memes to a group of people who know gently caress all about the internet, Twitter etc. How about one of those "don't believe everything you read on the internet' - Will Shakespeare" type memes, also carries a message internet newbies would do well to learn! Not exactly what you might be after in terms of opaqueness but they might need to think about it a bit, it's the kind of thing you read nod then a while later go "wait a minute'

It was meant to be a non-sequitur comic, the original in full being this:  The point was meant to mock people who are in obviously untenable scenarios just assuming things will turn out okay. KC Green even explicitly made a response to the failure to grasp this meaning, which I only am not posting right now so people can appreciate the original in context without the apparently-needed rebuttal.

^^^ when in context as in the whole strip yes I see Just a dog in a yellow bar no I didn't see. Ok I get it now. Definitely an insider meme! Meanwhile CAA are busy getting the Big Lie showings cancelled. It's McCarthyism. I wonder how much of venues complying is just taking their word for it that it's an antiSemitism-denial film and how much is fear of being smeared themselves. I find myself deleting replies on twitter unsent lest they go for me (though I'm a nobody with a handful of followers - I don't know why people bang on about how many followers someone has when you can just buy loads of followers as Dave Gorman showed but I digress). Wish they'd put it on a few platforms so we can see it and decide for ourselves. Jaeluni Asjil fucked around with this message at 01:01 on Jun 29, 2023 |

I've also noticed that Twitter has become flooded with really lovely, low quality adverts. Musk scrambling for revenue from whatever sources he can find, I guess.

People have been posting it for the last few years since Brexit, especially with the increase in support for nationalist parties. I've started seeing it without the subtitle or with a close zoom on Data's face in the last few months.

Why the gently caress would you have an economics podcast with two people with little understanding of economics? Ed Balls studied PPE, sure, but Osborne? He studied Modern History and then proceeded to colosally gently caress the economy so badly we're still in the shitter. And frankly the only thing I've seen from people studying PPE is that they are functionally illiterate about every topic.
