    Maybe not already know, necessarily, but (like most things, really) you’ll definitely get more out of it if you have an awareness of the greater context surrounding the individual parts, so to speak. However, one of the things I’ve always liked about Stewart in particular is his ability (imo, of course, ymmv) to very precisely and very succinctly zero in on not only what’s of actual importance itself, but also what makes that important. Crucially, these aren’t always the same thing, even in some cases where you could easily be convinced otherwise. John Oliver is another such ‘super-informer’ we’ll say (and I’m sure some of you might even appreciate in a semi-dark sorta way lol)

    I still wish he and Colbert would get together and run for Pres and VP. I honestly think they could smoke just about any other ticket either side could put together (short of the inclusion of dream team style clones and/or resurrection), and could do so running as independents to boot.

    Plus, I think they’d just be honest to god good at the fucking job. I mean, look at Zelenskyy! He, too, was a comedian who ended up in his country’s highest office and he’s turned out to be the kind of leader we’ve certainly been in want of for decades here in America, at least… (obviously, i have no place to speak for other countries, especially when being so generous to mine by only saying decades 😋)

    Ya know, on the upside in regards to all the Trump administration’s absolutely fucking pants on head insanity I sometimes try to remind myself of this, at least: whenever I start feeling those ‘imposter syndrome’ type of thoughts creeping in I just try to make myself think, 'Yea, but imagine if you were SO pathologically insecure (though with good reason as far as he goes 🤣😂) that you managed to beg, borrow, steal, cajole, lie, threaten, bribe, or otherwise pussy grab your way to the presidency ((TWICE!!!)) yet you STILL needed your sycophantic little moron harem to fawn over you with - what appears to nearly everyone else watching, anyway - so OTT a degree of near deific reverence it must be at your expense…"

    I’m usually good from there, cuz I don’t think I could be less qualified for ANYTHING than these chucklefucks

    "…proud to announce that my hobby, my obbsession and belief in Crypto Markets and tools Blockchain gives us…

    Wait, hold up, what the actual fuck is any of that even supposed to mean?! Dude’s over here having some weird ass orgiastic, quasi religious experience over whatever the hell that’s supposed to be along with his whole “Leveraged Gains blah Real World Asset Tokenization gerfuckty woo” spiel, whereas I, upon attempting to read it, spent most of the time tying to figure out which of us was having a stroke…

    You may be tempted to believe there’s something of substance to be gleaned from the pic in OP as most - if not all - of the words in it appear to have definitions and everything, but I assure you, there is nothing there.
