      Of course not. Because there’s also crazy cold and rain storms like we haven’t had before. So that means global warming can’t possibly be a thing.

      The winters still get wicked cold, it’s just wildly unstable now in the most northern major city in Canada here. Getting rain in December still makes me blue screen even if that’s just a thing that happens now for a few years in a row. Like how every summer the horizon is smokey now.

    One time I saw critically acclaimed author N. K. Jemisin give a talk, and someone asked her about climate change. She said something like, “There’s a few hundred people responsible for this problem, and we know where they live.” The crowd burst into applause and the moderator scrambled to distance the org from this idea. Good times.

      We’ve seen how wildly popular it is when someone actually acts on this concept. Luigi became a folk hero, and the ruling class can’t contain that no matter how hard they try. It’s going to be harder to do next time because they’ve ramped up their security, but there is going to be a next time.

      With spree shooters, there’s been an effort in recent years to stop saying their names, stop giving them notoriety because it encourages people to copy. That doesn’t work with Luigi because people love him. There isn’t public buy-in to shame him. So there have to be copy-cats plotting how to blast their way into the history books just like he did.

      Also, banger quote. The punchline is all in one syllable, it hits so hard. Also, it’s literally not a call to violence. It’s literally just stating two entirely uncontroversial facts in close proximity and letting the audience connect the dots. If people hear that and it sounds like a call to violence that they have to distance themselves from, that’s because they know how obvious the conclusion is.

    The roof is on fire!

    And the ground.

    And everything is on fire.

    Except water, that’s becoming acid,

    And not the fun kind of acid.

    I like this meme but can’t shut my brain off from saying that the circle doesn’t need 2 cycles in it, it could have just had one of each.
