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 10 months 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.
