It’s A Comedian’s Job
I don’t want to talk about this. We give so much deference to Joe Rogan. Why? Because he’s popular? Because a lot of people listen to him? Get over it! Stop ass kissing! Stop defending a moron in the name of “free speech”. You have to be smarter than that. The man has an exclusive deal with Spotify to say whatever the fuck he wants to the detriment of our entire society. I’m tired of playing this game about free speech and making your own choices and doing your own research. Get you vaccine and shut the fuck up. I don’t care anymore. I think pretending this is some kind of dialogue and we have to be nice to these people for whatever moral reason is stupid and useless. It’s not even about free speech. It’s about not being a moron. Something we should at least pretend to try to strive for. It’s not even cool to hate him or get this angry about it but I’m so tired of modern culture being influenced by someone of this low quality.
The Best Picture Nominees as [x]
It is nice that even in these trying and stupid times we can still rely on the silliness of stan Twitter. The people who use Twitter like Tumblr and have to apologize for being late putting out fancams because they were studying for their biology test keep the Internet a little fun. They do not care who was or wasn’t snubbed if it does not affect their particular fandom. These types are threads are always enjoyable and a welcome surprise on Oscar nomination day. Happy to have them be a part of it.
TikTok
Sometimes things feel so good. They are happening just as they are supposed to happen. There is a popular sound on tiktok that is short and smooth and easy to execute. It takes no excess brain power to figure out what is going on. No one gets it wrong. No one makes a crazy take that starts an annoying fight. People get to be a little political. We acknowledge all the ways we are being scammed. (Has anyone done one about LA parking enforcement using weekly street sweeping as an excuse to write everyone a parking ticket? Free viral idea!) Sometimes it's good when things are easy and uncomplicated. Everyone gets a turn and nobody’s feelings get hurt.
My Name is Walter Hartwell White
In trying to find an example for this I saw that the most popular videos under this sound are about people ready to give up their darkest secrets for something as minor as chick fil a. The ones on my FYP are about more equal exchanges of information. Secrets we can never and may never know. That’s what I like to see. I would give anything to know where say, DB cooper is. But for a little bit of fast food? Come on. We gotta be smarter than that.
Y’all Don’t Want to Hear Me You Just Want To Dance
I love new ideas and hot takes. I love seeing other peoples even if they are stupid and wrong. I like a meme that is just about saying something people won’t agree with. The internet is about starting fights and stirring up engagement by making people angry. Might as well get ahead of it but coming out with your most nuanced radical take.
Save it for your therapist. Not my problem. Keep it to yourself. Neither funny nor charming nor clever. Not helping anyone and most importantly not helping yourself.
No But It’s Not Funny It’s Serious
This sound has a potential to go a lot of ways. I can see it quickly moving from lighthearted acknowledgement of reality to opportunity to scold others. I think as long as we speak to our own experiences that we laugh about but at the end of the day are serious, we’ll be fine. However it’s tiktok and I know we’re all about to get yelled at for laughing. Everybody stay on your toes with this one. It’s light for now but that will probably change soon enough.
