Conservative comedians claim you can't write comedy without hitting somebody else but I put it to you that Millennials have proven that wrong with absurdist humor for years.
This post has existed in one form or another for a decade and it still causes people to piss themselves laughing to this day.

The Sandman returns to Netflix tomorrow. If I had one suggestion it would be this: don't watch it.
With The Sandman returning to Netflix, the reality is you can't separate this art from the artist, thanks to Neil Gaiman's abuse allegations.

Sitting at dinner at my friend's house, I banged my elbow on the table while moving my hand to my lap. I hit it just in the right spot and hard enough that I passed out
What's the stupidest way you've hurt yourself?
Oh I'm so glad you asked! I knocked myself out with a frozen bag of omelettes.

I remember my first week teaching. I lost my voice because I wasn't used to speaking for 5+ hours in a day. And while I finally figured that part out, I can't even imagine going for TWENTY FIVE hours--even at 24 years old. #goodtrouble

Just so everybody understands, Booker has been speaking cogently about the issues the entire time and Strom Thurmond famously spent hours reading from the encyclopedia, because segregationists were and are dumbshits
If Sen. Cory Booker makes it to 7:19 p.m. EST, he will break segregationist Dixiecrat Strom Thurmond's record for his 24 hour 18 minute Senate floor speech against the Civil Rights Act of 1957.

The "too little, too late"/"not good enough"/"won't change anything" attitude can be voiced about any individual action taken by any single person, which is why it's such a self-defeating take. Collective action includes all of our individual actions. It's all needed
