It's difficult to leave my niche subs, but fucking hell there's soooo much bot content. Like, I come to lemmy and am suddenly reminded of how humans talk.
Celebrities with distinct looks almost by definition have to be exceptions to this discussion. Wearing a giant clock necklace to work would absolutely be weird unless it were Flavor Flav.
This is what really hit me reading Mark Twain's autobiography when he started describing the atrocities by the US government against Native Americans.
His autobiography was dictated to a stenographer which he then edited later. This way it has the feeling of a simple discussion with Twain, and because of this the discussion of tragedy as a current event, just as you and I would chat over a coffee, really hits home how little we've changed.
I watched the video and was shocked at how casual the conversation was. He straight up says maybe we should start killing the homeless and the other hosts just nod along.
This is how republicans run Texas. They've had a stranglehold on Texas politics for decades and yet still blame anything bad on democrats, woke, and sustainable energy. They blamed the freeze on windmill farms, for fucks sake.
When I was young my parents encouraged me to watch Marx Brothers, Three Stooges, and Abbott & Costello. These are easy things for children to watch because the physical comedy is universal.
As I got older my love for them remained, but also it gave me a love for media from any age. So long as it's done reasonably I think this sort of thing can be quite enriching.
It's the one thing I never really understood when I read about it in history classes. The blatant hypocrisy, particularly how fascism is obsessed with "strong men" while worshipping the whiniest manchildren. It seemed important because it was a top comment by people who lived through it, but I never understood it until Trump.
