without memes we would barely have any news. What would have made us laugh 4 years ago, is now realitly, and what is in the news papers and pages, is fiction at best, propaganda and manipulation mostly
That's why I love the statement, "I used to watch Russell Brand and laugh; I used to watch the news and take it seriously. Now I watch the news and laugh; I watch Russell Brand and take him seriously."
And you never know when one of the meat puppets will stick their foot in their mouth and say something particularly idiotic and funny!
In 2006, I was asked to participate in a book called "What Would Bill Hicks Say?" A whole bunch of us were asked to imagine his take on things then. We need a sequel to that book!
Always makes my day. Though I’m not sure I agree that deep down all people are good - and they would make the good choices if left alone..: Sounds like Socialism - good on paper but train wreck in action - every single time.
Totally agree, JAJ. There's nothing like living in a small town to show you what people are made of, especially living in the same place for a long time. I used to think it was just the rich who loved to steal, then I watched people of ALL classes enjoying stealing. And this comes with a big dose of "We're a tight-knit, caring community!" I don't think having criminals as our so-called leaders helps ordinary people's behavior.
Yep, the memes are a virus!
😂
You're killing it, Mickey!

Palm Sunday

(that's partly why I chose to adapt a Bible verse for the post's title)
I suppose "Hey, morons! I am stuck in the lift" wouldn't be appropriate, either?
😂
Hey “sentient clumps of cells”?
Hah!

I wish Bill Hicks were here for the trans thing.
Same!

I trust that enough people are good deep down but I'm not sure how this connects to Socialism.
From each according to her ability, to each according to her need.

I’m now post woke.
Mickey, I had to forward a couple of those memes to "safe" folks. (Who know me, well, and who STILL like me... ❤)
So, I heard a "ding" this morning around 7 am. It was my son.
I had my first belly laugh of the day, and responded. (You'd need more context to understand exactly why I was so amused.)
Those 2 memes in question: provided me with my 2nd and 3rd guffaws of the day. (Guess which 2?)
Here is the 1st: Please don't hate me guys. (I'm well known for saying the quiet part out loud. Like this dude.)
