    Ngl, the fact that a 9/11’s worth of people were dying every fucking day, just in the US, during the peak of Covid, and one entire fucking half of our country was just shitposting and TRYING to spread it more entirely reframed 9/11 for me. Before, it was A Serious Thing. Now… well, I have put on my absurdism glasses.

      I’m glad to see this, I feel like all Americans should have to come to some personal terms about the 9/11 worth of COVID deaths that half the country was just casually were ok. I prefer existentialism to nihilism as a response to the absurdity of the world, since nihilism is just going to trap us in a cycle of resigned apathy, but a little self-reflection is preferred either way.

      And related to the 9/11 comparison: amazing how there was no reckoning about how hundreds of thousands of those cumulative deaths were attributable to Trump’s mishandling. From that standpoint, we elected Osama bin Laden times a thousand to be president, after he took down the twin towers.

  He was sitting under signage that said Prove Me Wrong.

  The correct timing for dark humor is now now now.

  There is no “too soon” to joke about dead nazis.
