Man have I got bad news for you. Almost everything uses idiots as the baseline for making stuff. They're so numerous. Probably because everyone's an idiot about something.

Apparently, the classification levels in the US are illegal! Snowden will rejoice, he can come home, as the first amendment allows free speech, even when it damages national security.

I did not read the article, but the summary made me actually laugh out loud. Hell the supreme court has already said the government has the right to intern a whole class of US citizens based on national security. The SCOTUS rulings do seem rather crazy at times to me though, so perhaps this is a winning strategy for ByteDance.

'City of Brotherly Love'

Two things are happening simultaneously Russia/China are trying to spread discontent, and Trumps followers are being told they no longer have to abide by social norms that keeps societies civil.

I believe the uncivil thing just always comes in waves as the people that don't like change are forced to change and get resentful. Some kind of event happens and resets the floor, or all the people that don't want to change die off, and things settle down.

And this is the mental framework through which I see the world.

Middle Fucks?

They ask what will happen next. My guess is... nothing changes, someone in the future whistleblows, and 'kills themselves' with a double tap to the back of the head. It's a toss up whether the public will ever know of the whole ordeal.

It was the 80s and early 90s, terrible clothes were the style

This is dumb, diplomats have been talking to each other the whole time. Not like they just started asking the Houthis to stop targeting ships, they've been asking the whole time, and will continue to ask for it to stop, even as missiles fly on both sides.

I think The Lockpicking Lawyer (YouTuber)has consistently put out good April's fools videos. I do have a sophomoric sense of humor though, and they are all based on innuendo.

Thought Bittersweet Symphony by The Verve was the one that played for everyone?

Am I having a stroke? What does the title even mean? large boulder =/= small boulder by definition. Am I up too early?

I think there are two YouTube vids that are worthwhile:

Critical Drinker https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDHgA5e2du8

Pitch Meeting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzczijDtnFY

I must admit, I saw the videos before watching the movie. Based on the content of the videos, decided I could skip watching the movie. I imagine PipedBot will be along shortly with the other links.
