Brief Comedy Note
Don’t miss the video the New York Times op-ed crew has just made to explain what’s going to happen in the upcoming Trump administration. It’s roughly a trillion times funnier than any comedy that Hollywood will release in this decade. You can watch it on the Times website here, or at I-still-call-it-Twitter here. Sample screenshot:
The troops are about to start going door-to-door to take people to the camps, you see.
You know this is all very very serious because they shot it in dim light, for the extremely serious seriousness. It’s like a film school cinematography project for depressive toddlers. The undeclared South Park character named David French also has a terribly grim warning that Donald Trump may cause instability in the Middle East, which would be a real change of pace.
Enjoy this. Open a bottle of wine and put out a cheese plate. It’s short, but it’s glorious.
Hey, I was rounded up, sent to a camp, then shot and then deported during the first Trump administration.
I got better.
But yeah it's all gonna happen again, I swear!
There is a word in my language, called "lyteskomik", and this surely is it.
"Lyte" means "deformity" and "komik" is "comedic" or "comical":
"Laughing at the deformed/at deformities", would be the literal translation.
Idiomatically, it means laughing at some who's making an ass out of himself.
Two minutes of asses, I thought you'd have to go on OnlyFans for that, but apparently the NYT is just as good a source.
