    It’s gotten to the stage where satire and actual journalism have blurred into some monstrous entity that I have to do a double take with these things. Its a mad mad mad world.

    We use amazing technology to engage in primitive scapegoating rituals.

    Ugh, I’m just about to shame myself but…is any of this actually true? And how on earth was that picture photoshopped? Sadly I don’t keep up with social media so I’m clueless here.
