how do I pass out food at a protest and then immediately leave without seeming extremely fucking shady

Use food pre-sealed by [companies with good food-safety rep]? Maybe granola bars or something like that.

I mean, I suppose there are *some* protests where that wouldn’t go over well (such as protests against corporations that manufacture granola bars), but it seems like it would work in many cases.

I hate the internet. I hate how this poem doesn’t need to be finished but it has 13.9k retweets and 21.1k likes. Everyone knows how this poem ends and I hate it

Violets are Blue

Michael Jackson sang Thriller

…can someone please explain these to me?

the punchlines are “george bush did 9/11” and “ted cruz is the zodiac killer”

…wait, I thought the first one was something along the lines of “take your dick out for 9/11“. Why mention Harambe otherwise?

(Michael Jackson is probably irrelevant, just an excuse to put “thriller” in, but so many entities could be described as “in heaven” that I figured there must be some reason to choose Harambe specifically.)

I actually had to infer that the second picture was of Ted Cruz:

“What rhymes with ‘thriller’? Killer–ah, this is a Zodiac Killer joke, which means that must be Ted Cruz.”

The political news I get is so overwhelmingly text-based that even if I weren’t faceblind, I probably still wouldn’t know Ted Cruz on sight.

people arguing that appending “gate” to every controversial thing is stupid (gategate)

a bunch of people yelling in exasperation that the above argument is even a thing (gategategate)

When we finally decide to put a stop to this madness and lock everyone out of the Discourse.

(gategategategate)

we should put big fences around areas where Discourse is allowed, so we can have people enter The Gategategategate Gate

I’m excited that “-ghazi” appears to be taking off as a suffix for trumped up scandals

You should make a really inflammatory post about this so we can argue whether it should be ghazighazi or ghazigate.

Then we should discuss the effects of this on the US presidential election, and whether Hilary Clinton has responded adequately to Ghazigateghazi.
