this one fucked me up so much. guy turns his life around after a drug conviction, becomes a happy, beloved, pet rescuing houseboat dad who undersells his mechanic services so poor folks can afford them. ICE grabs him one day out of the hospital for heart problems which then kill him. horrifying

β€œIf you punch me, I will punch you back” is not a threat to attack!

A first grader understands this implicitly.

Rubio has less basic understanding of human interaction than a 1st grader.

Oh, Avenetti is in there, too? Based on the year, I’m guessing this is connected to Kavanaugh.

A thread of random things in the Epstein files that I think need more attention / scorn.

But people keep saying β€œOh, Trump, he’s so funny!” He’s not. It’s not that his humor is crude or mean, it’s objectively non-existent.

β€œWhen I get my shoes shined, I have to take their word!” from Weird Al may be offensive, but it’s also identifiable as a joke. Trump’s idea of a β€œfat joke” is β€œYou’re fat.β€œ It’s not a joke. There’s no concept of a setup/twist.

Per Penn Jilette, Trump is one of those. He says he had never heard Trump tell an actual joke. Trump merely insults people, and not in funny or clever ways. Again, not a matter of being offensive or not.

Bit he also got β€œI don’t think that’s right. They’d use hand signals.”

This baffled him. These respondants somply didn’t graps the *concept* of a joke. β€œThat’s not funny!” or β€œThat’s offensive!” require understanding the idea pf humor. But some people pack it.

Thinking of Dave Barry on the problem. He made a joke about aides using a remote electric shock to tell Nixon when to laugh. His responses came in 3 types.
β€œHe ha, that Nixon, what a dork.”
β€œYou shouldn’t make fun of the President like that!”

Both of those understood it was a joke.

One of the grossest things in the Epstein files is how he just randomly scanned the news for men accused of SA and used this money and connections to dig up dirt on victims.

Permit me to upgrade your algorithm before you start singing "Daisy". A common template for what we fleshbags call "humor" is to comment that a media franchise has X works, when it is common knowledge it has >X. This conveys the concept that other works are notably inferior in a jocular fashion .

Ok, but I had to register for the draft even though they didn't have a draft, so, it's kind of a thing in the US to sign you up for stuff you won't get.

Not defending it, just pointing out it's what we do.
