Spontaneous joking is how I cope and navigate this insane world, especially because I am very serious and critical about our manufactured reality and its destructive effects. I believe joy is spontaneous, not a destination or possession, so I always appreciate when it appears. If I ever stop tending a welcoming branch for joy to perch on when it arrives, these times will devour the light that still shines within.
So, fraternal grunts to you. Pretty sure Morgan Freeman would have laughed if he were there when you cracked the joke, too.
I’m pretty sure he would have laughed, too. I can’t imagine he ever asked for that kind of weird gatekeeping in the first place, based on the way he was when I did finally bump into him in the courtyard. I should’ve painted the damn mural.
For sure - he’s like those young guys influenced by Charlie Kirk and the manosphere. It’s the off-ramp to white nationalism. I wonder how much darker our humor is going to have to get to make it through this. “At least he’s not a pedophile” is just like, jesus. But also, yeah. At least that!
Honestly, I wasn't trying to to be funny. That just popped into my head.
For darker humor though, my daughter saw this online recently: I would never wish for anyone's death, but there are some obituaries I'm looking forward to reading.
Ha. Yes. Even just knowing the obituary existed would be fine, there are some people whose obituaries I wouldn’t even stop to read. I’d just have a good cry I think. Imagine living your life in such a way that people are relived when you die because they’re hoping the cruelty you’ve unleashed might lessen to some tangible degree. Smh.

At least Rolf was 17 going on 18. More of an incel than a pedophile.
