Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Goddamn did I not expect that. So many moments I was literally laughing. Like, actually. Not a huff of air from my nose. Or a recognition of “oh yeah, that was a joke. Good job, funny man.” Like, actually had to stop cooking and set down the knife and laugh.

Couple of thoughts, in no particular order:

  • He hasn't lost his mojo
  • he kinda looks like shit
  • what's with his pink eyes? Hit a bowl before he went on? Awesome.
  • it really feels like the show and material from the late aughts. It felt very nostalgic, which is a credit to him and the writers
  • things are way different today where I can feel the disconnect between those old days where the show was funny and the contradictions were lower, compared to today where the system is even more decrepit and broken than it was back then. Like the tone was peak 2006-2007 but the content is today and how fucking shit this system is.
  • is he going to do this every week up until the election?
  • some typical lib shit at the end about how we need to put the work in after the election. Give me a break.

What's the alternative to putting in the work before or after the election? Your alternative is to just give up to nihilistic hopelessness?

I'd like a candidate born sometime after the Jackson administration

Agreed? And? I don't think Stewart is advocating for electoralism here.
