When your wannabe god-emperor is really just an old guy yelling about tariffs.
That’s some shade.
That’s some shade.
It’s a great pun in Chinese, since it’s pronounced very similarly (in some dialects identically) to an old title for the Emperor:
万税爷 wànshuìyé vs 万岁爷 wànsuìyé (the “Lord of Ten Thousand Years”)
万税爷 wànshuìyé vs 万岁爷 wànsuìyé (the “Lord of Ten Thousand Years”)
I am going to start using "10,000% Tariff Grandpa" every day now

@deprong.bsky.social Idea for CERT or other community resilience?
Mutual Aid disaster infrastructure idea:

There’s an Urdu name for a “Jack of all trades” that translates to “every talent Lord.” A Korean version is “eight direction beauty.” But my favourite name for someone who tries their hand at lots of different things is the Lithuanian Barbė devyndarbė. It means “Barbie nine jobs”

Hey when dealing with Nazi disinformation, remember that repeating it only cements it in people’s heads, even if you actively debunk it.
RFK: antivax brainworm word salad!
You: RFK is pro mass death.
Don’t repeat any of their messaging even to prove it wrong.
