I wish laughing at satire didn't come with so much sadness these days.

"Cows with mad cow disease seem perfectly sane compared to politics".

I bet The Onion could run that article. And in it, interview cows. I bet they could make that work.

Ditto. I feel so wiped out by reality. It’s nice to chuckle at articles like these, but dang do things feel bleak.

That sounds like a great idea for a show actually:

Traditional evil org with faceless minions, volcano bases, etc. fights new upstart evil org that uses modern tech.

Isn't that basically the American Gods show?

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

Eh. I'd rather they reboot American Gladiators. Except this time all the CEOs are the contestants, going up against the buff Gladiators.

Only in this version, we get a bit more authentic to the orgin of the word "gladiator". These ones are violent, and trying to kill.

I'd watch that show.
