This Trump Plan for Gaza Is One of the Craziest Things I’ve Ever Heard
At a news conference Tuesday night, President Trump unleashed the craziest remarks about the Middle East that any American president has uttered in history.
He proposed not only that the roughly 2 million Palestinians in Gaza leave their homeland—because, he said, it’s “a hellhole” and always will be—but that the United States take it over, “own it” (he dropped that phrase a few times), and develop it into “the Riviera of the Middle East.”
Yes, he really said that.
Will the Palestinian people, who Trump wants to have evicted from the old Gaza, be allowed to come back and live in this new wonderland he envisions? Well, Trump replied, it will be “an international city,” with people from “all over the world” coming to live there. Maybe some Palestinians, too—but in the meantime, while Americans rebuild the “demolition site” of Gaza, those people will be taken in by Jordan and Egypt.
Yes, he acknowledged, the leaders of Jordan and Egypt insist they want no part of this forced displacement—they certainly don’t want the instability of bringing almost two million Palestinian refugees into their own crowded cities. But Trump said he is confident they will “open their hearts” and make warm peaceful places for them to live out their lives away from the violence that Hamas had forced on them.
Poor Hamas. They had a sad because everyone was paying attention to Ukraine and Russia and were feeling left out. They had the brilliant PR idea of breaking a mostly-working ceasefire, invading Israel, murdering over a thousand people, raping a few hundred on the way, taking hostages, and generally being the violent little bitches Palestinians have been for around a hundred years now. And in return, they’ve had their shitty patch of land turned into rubble. They thought they could get away with it for thousandth time, that cuck Biden and the UN would excuse it all, restrain Israel to a few hundred airstrikes and then negotiate the release of terrorist murders for the hostages at 50-to-1.
Trump will not really be able to get away with expelling Palestinians and the other Islamic shit-holes are certainly not going to take them, and I doubt Gaza is going to be turned into some Arabic Disneyland. But an evil chuckle about it feels just fine.
I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”
Ozymandias
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Hey, things are looking kind of positive for Ozymandias these days.
He definitely needs to be sure to have his plans fully in motion before talking to Doctor Manhattan, though.
Doctor Manhattan don’t play, y’all.
Well, some are looking at his work and starting to despair.
Downright shiny. I’m not sure I would call my works “Mighty” or even “Yuge” – but still…
Everywhere says they’re impressive.
The woman who directed “The Eternals”?
GTFO.
I’m a minority here, but I found The Eternals to be only half as bad as the rest of the shit that Marvel has produced since then. It was more watchable than Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness by Sam Raimi and 50 million producer notes.
But Buffy fans are pretty fucking diehard about that show. I wouldn’t want any part of that unless I was sure I could stick the landing. But these people don’t learn.
SMG is great, but at this point…she’s old enough to be training her grand-daughter as a protege…(maybe a slight exaggeration).
Eternals was fully meh. There was the core of a good story there, it was just told sloppily, lazily, and poorly.
Meh is completely fair. But still better than what Marvel has generally put out since End Game. The way some people talk about it, you’d think it’s the one of the worst. Better than Ant-Man 3.
I jumped off the Marvel train at Endgame and have regretted it not in the slightest.
So “Don’t know… don’t care” regarding her.
On reboots in general though — they’re rarely needed or a good idea. For Buffy in particular? There’s absolutely no need — and according to my wife (who is crazy
enough to have married meenough to lurk on some Facebook group of Buffy fans) they want to bring back Spike and Angel played by the original actors… which would only work if they became human right after the end of Angel… but the rabid fans hate that…. so it all sounds like a cluster fuck waiting to happen to me.But maybe it will be great. Kudos to them if it is… I just don’t expect it and don’t believe I’ll feel any need to watch it.
Buffy:TNG? Or an actual reboot?
Huge fan of TOS – I think I want no part of this.
Buffy? Alyson Hannigan or GTFO.
Either that or they’ll blow out their budget on some shitty uncanny valley de-aging CGI.
Either way, ugh.
All of Hollywood is a study in failing upwards if you are the right demographic.
“Throw yourself at the B-movies… and miss”?
I’m more wondering why we’re rebooting shows that were just on television.
/checks dates
Fuck… it’s nearly 30 years old. But for once, can we reboot something that had a solid premise but didn’t get to finish it out? Nowhere Man, Alien Nation, War of the Worlds, Dead Like Me, Pushing Daisies, Jack of All Trades, the Adventures of Brisco County, Jr., or Wonderfalls would all make much better reboots.
I have to assume because the money in TV/movies has decided that only nostalgia bait works. So extending franchises, incessant reboots, etc. Constant ‘member berry smoothies being forced down the throat of their viewing audience.
Like the AAA games industry — I think it is just setting the stage for relatively small budget indies to blow the existing order away soon by bringing something actually fresh to the world. Hope I’m right.
4 of those came to my mind too, to which I might add Alphas.
SDF-7:
I have some links queued up for Friday that touch on this a bit more, but the big names in the video game world keep on undercutting themselves. To put it in perspective, a company of less than 500 people managed to put out a single player game that has been won praise, awards, and (pretty safe guess here) large amounts of cash cash money.
That game would be Baldur’s Gate 3. Meanwhile, the company that made the first two Baldur’s Gate games (and the amazingly ahead of its time Neverwinter Nights) is likely to be going under shortly.
rhywun:
Damn it! I knew I forgot some. Getting cancelled on a cliff hanger on top of everything else. And it was so well done.
Last night I was watching a vid on 70s and 80s movies that spawned bad/unsuccessful TV series, e.g., Bad News Bears, Serpico, Animal House, Logan’s Run, Private Benjamin. It came about on the heels of M*A*S*H‘s success.
Unlike those, though, Buffy the Vampire Slayer was a decent, unique movie that turned into a TV phenomenon. Likely, it was the right subject for the right demographic at the right time.
I’m torn about reboots. I thoroughly enjoyed 1993’s Born Yesterday, never knowing it was a remake of the 1950 film based on a 1946 stage play. “Reboot” and “remake” aren’t the same thing, I know, but still, it reintroduces a story to a new generation that would have had no reason to encounter it at all.
Heh… I actually own and watch Zero Hour!, Mojo… so yeah — some remakes work.
That’s the one that broke me. From that point on I mostly wait a few years and see before investing any time in a new show.
Reboots should be done with bad shows that had some good premises, not shows with stoopid premises that happened to catch the zeitgeist and become popular.
That was how Buffy got made in the first place. It was a bad movie with some good premises that could be expanded upon.
All those premises have been explored.
If you’ve been told your entire life how ‘bright and creative’ you are by indulgent parents and idiot teachers…you eventually build your entire identity around being a member of the ‘creative class’. But then if you *don’t* have any real creative ability, you’re going to fall back on key-jangling because it’s easy and looks creative from a distance.
If Gellar is involved, then it is going to be a legacy sequel, which are usually terrible. “Hey, remember that show you like? Want to watch it with all the same actors, but now they are old?”
Hopefully they won’t try to follow the “Season 8” and “Season 9” comics, which are hilariously terrible.
A better idea would be to jump to the “Frey” timeline from the comic series, which is where a new Slayer is activated in the future after Buffy wiped out all the vampires completely and ended the Slayer line.
Is BSG the last reboot to get it right?
I have Divinity: Original Sin 2 by Larian (the BG3 studio) in the queue. It’s a very different play style than I’m used to, but it looks good.
MU;Don’t care
Enough with the goddamned comic books. Enough with the freakin’ remakes.
The remakes/reboots etc are just going through the motions to preserve the copyrights. That is why they all suck.
I saw Bad Religion open for Pearl Jam on July 11, 1995 at Soldier Field in Chicago. I think they were dressed as nuns.
Obscure trivia: Jerry Garcia’s last show before he died was at Soldier Field two days prior. There had been some dispute with Pearl Jam and Ticketmaster so the show was hastily put together, and Pearl Jam used the Grateful Dead’s stage. So I saw the last stage Jerry Garcia ever performed on.
I thought Lebanon was the Riviera of the middle east.
Gaza can be the Vegas.
It used to be, until some bad elements moved in.
I’ll give you two guesses as to who those were.
Carlos Ghosn?
Baptists ruin everything.
The first Palestinians that moved there?
Presbyterians?
Mennonites?
Excellent music choice,
I can’t explain it,
Went through that album and a few other BR ones pretty regularly in high school. Always preferred that “melodic” punk to some of the more hardcore stuff.
Regardless of how much I listen to them, and know they’re completely different bands, my brain keeps wanting to conflate Bad Religion and Social Distortion.
I got hooked on them by a kid in the dorms that I regretfully had to resort to my 3rd or 4th year of college. Generator had just come out.
Weird coincidence. I’ve had Generator stuck in my head all day, was listening to the album on my way into work.
One of my best friend in HS loved them, but they didn’t do anything for me. Dudes voice grates.
Except for the just a few hundred airstrikes, all the rest is exactly what has happened.
A few hundred air strikes, a full invasion, po-tay-to, po-tah-to.
And why wouldn’t they expect support from Biden? USAID was sending them millions of dollars, even after 10/7.
This is funny as hell, and every one of you knows why.

It’s a new form of Gell-Mann Amnesia. I’ll call it Dick/Balls Amnesia.
It’s when somebody on social media notices a completely normal thing, doesn’t bother to do a modicum of research, and posts it as some sort of outrage or notable event.
Then gullible people consume the outrage unthinkingly, not bothering to do a second of reflecting or researching, and completely ignoring the fact that the 1827 previous social media posts created and shared in the exact same way were blatant bullshit.
I like that, trashy. Unfortunately both sides fall for it pretty often, so you have to constantly keep yours eyes out for bullshit.
Will the Palestinian people, who Trump wants to have evicted from the old Gaza, be allowed to come back and live in this new wonderland he envisions?
Well, lessee… neither the Jordanians nor the Egyptians want the Palis in their country (for good reason). I suppose the Saudis could be bribed into putting them in the Empty Quarter, but then we’d be beholden to them for a while.
Why not cut a deal with Putin? Let Vlad keep the ethnically-Russian parts of Ukraine that he already has, with the caveat that he has to show he’s a good citizen of the world and offer refuge to Palestinians in Dzardzhan? The Palis can build their own thriving community, like the Mormons did in Utah, and stay far away from the parts of the world where they tend to cause trouble.
Putin gets some much-needed PR, the Palis get their homeland, and if the latter decide to start shit again, well, it’s a long walk.
In some hypothetical scenario where the Palestinians were actually evicted, you’d probably just get the terrorism aimed more at the US and West in general. Or Russia if Putin ever went along with this pipedream. He already has own problem with Islamic extremists. Don’t think he’d want to import more cultural enrichers.
“like Mormons did in Utah, and stay far away from the parts of the world where they tend to cause trouble.”
You mean like the Glibs comment section?
Dude, like, we went west OUT of the U.S. to get away and the U.S. sent the fucking army after us in Mexican territory.
So in this metaphor is Preet the US Army?
Dump the Palis on the end of the Saudi peninsula – let them fight the Yemenis for it.
I think there might be a difference or two between the Palestinians and the Mormons that just possibly would cause different results. Call me crazy if you must.
Sadly, I see no solution to the Pali problem that doesn’t require many fewer Palis.
Some reporter was trying to get Donald to admit he wasn’t plugging the vaunted “two-state solution” and he wasn’t having it. I don’t remember what he said exactly, just that he is the first president I can recall telling some truths about the situation.
My brother has become big anti-Israel from watching the Jimmy Dore show. Which I think is funny.
I don’t much care about Israeli “atrocities.” The only real solution to stopping the violence there is to drive the Palestinians out completely, but no one fucking wants those assholes.
There’s no proposed solution that makes any god damn sense for Israel.
Disbanding the fucking U.N. would go a long way to solving the mess. They own this shitshow 100%.
Disappeared
The rules pose a significant change for the incarcerated trans community.
“In here, we do not exist anymore,” said one trans inmate at Seagoville prison in a voice note shared with NPR. “We are dodos.” She spoke to NPR on condition of anonymity because she feared for her safety.
She said tearfully that as of Tuesday morning trans women were instructed to hand over their female clothing and were to be given male clothing. Providing gender-affirming clothing for individuals suffering from gender dysphoria (the deep discomfort caused by a mismatch between a person’s assigned sex at birth and their gender identity) is considered a critical component to treating the condition.
No doubt this person was just snatched off the street for the crime of being different in Trump’s America.
instructed to hand over their female clothing and were to be given male clothing.
To be clear, we’re talking about prison jumpsuits?
The NPR set actually believes this.
When I first heard Trump’s “America will administer Gaza” my heart and my jaw both dropped. Because that would be a quagmire.
I’m sure Trump doesn’t actually want to do this. I think he knows it would be a quagmire. I think he’s trying to provoke some reaction that he thinks will be useful, though I have no idea what that reaction actually is.
Scare the Palestinians shitless, would be my guess.
Maybe scare the Israelis, as well.
My inner conspiracy theorist is saying that world leaders are hoping Israel managed to actually destroy a bunch of evidence in its systematic dismantling of the Gazan terror network.
Because that’s the third group of people that Trump may be trying to scare, with his threat to take over Ukraine South and do a lot of “development work” there.
That too. It really pointed out that the fallacy of the two state solution is dead. Move on and here’s your luggage.
I’m wondering if there were ever any true modern Palestinians, or if members of different people groups took turns pretending to be Palestinians.
They are Arabs. The term was resurrected specifically to use as a cudgel against Israel.
You have to put something out there for people to criticize in order to get to a workable solution.
Well, the left is going apeshit as expected so mission accomplished.
Have other countries step up and take ownership of the situation.
I never get tired of Bad Religion.
I dont know, I’m tired of Islam, a very bad religion indeed,
I think I thought I saw them try…. but that was just a dream….
The Voice of God is Government
Absolute perfection.
New Dark Ages. An anthem for and against…rare in the punk world.
Greg Graffin can suck a dick but dude knew how to fight the government…until 2020.
The new policy also cancels trainings that “inculcate or promote gender ideology or have done so in the past,” and disbands any group programs that “promote gender ideology,” including group therapy sessions.
It also ends the “transgender visual and pat search exception” that had allowed trans inmates to request a guard who aligns with their gender identity.
Somehow I can’t help wondering how those “patdowns” go when a female guard is requested.
Nuts were crushed.
There are cases of men raping the women they’re being housed with and nobody before Donald has had the balls to call this madness out and actually do something about it.
Trump’s Gaza plan is goddamn awful. No matter how much Israel wants to finish ethnic cleansing that it started in 1948, the United States should not be doing it. Of course, no Arab country wants to take any Palestinians. They don’t want to help Israel with ethnic cleansing. Even if some Arab leaders might be ambivalent, they know their populations would not tolerate it.
You can bash Israel for it’s behavior all you want, but you have to know that there’s a deeper reason for why neighboring states won’t take the Palestinians beyond “aiding” Israel. It’s been done in the past and it’s been disastrous. Not because the populace wouldn’t take it, but because the Palestinians fucking suck. Importing hundreds of thousands [more] uneducated goat fuckers into your country is never a good idea.
Fine. Why are we involved at all?
Tundra:
Black blood of the Earth?
Because Israel has dirt on a lot of US politicians on top of paying them off. Also, a lot of wealthy and influential Jews here support Israel.
The same reason we do all the dumb shit we do, Tundra.
“Fine. Why are we involved at all?”
I blame Lincoln.
Bro:
Epstein file dump should be enlightening.
Neph:

cav:
Me too.
1948?
The Jews started Israel for the sole purpose of ethnically cleansing the Palestinians from the region?
From what I recall, the surrounding Arab nations tried to wipe out Israel, starting the day after Israel was declared an independent nation.
The Israeli discussion of this issue is much more interesting. Here an interview with Benny Morris.
“Without the uprooting of the Palestinians, a Jewish state would not have arisen here.”
History seems to have proven this right. It doesn’t rather beg the question of why the Jewish homeland had to be right in the fucking middle of one of the worst neighborhoods on the planet. I still think giving them Baja would have been the best option, only it wasn’t because why should Mexico give them Baja?
NYT
Surprise… not.
I’m sure Rubio is pissed, but they are still in the honey moon phase and no one else was making him Secretary of State.
Trump wasn’t proposing any real plan. I know people like to take the shit that comes out of his mouth literally, but most of it aint literal. Trump counts on it being taken seriously, but it’s a game to him. I hesitate to say he’s playing chess. More like speed checkers while his enemies are just dumb fucking cunts.
Yep – shake everyone up.
The entire left seems to think he is an idiot, mostly as it makes them feel good. It is little wonder they constantly fall for his tricks.
“insisting that he had not committed to using U.S. troops to clear the territory and that any relocation of Palestinians would be temporary.”
Since he hadn’t said anything contrary to that, I fail to see how this is walking back, etc.
Some cisgender female prisoners have opposed allowing trans women into female prisons, saying they worried about their safety, and they have challenged the policy in federal court.
But lawyer Kara Janssen, whose law firm represented the three transgender women challenging the executive order, says this effort has only sowed chaos and fear.
Don’t like it? Stay out of jail.
Obligatory.
Those “cisgender” women need to STFU and take one for the team.
Remember “Believe all women”?
How the Clinton’s pull in $83 million laundered from random government programs.
https://x.com/akafaceUS/status/1887226299284136044
This is making Biden’s money laundering look like amateur hour. It also makes you wonder, was Biden not part of the club? Seems Hunter could have made just as much money with some bullshit foundation.
The Bidens were too stupid to have the sophistication of the Clintons when it came to grifting. It was like cave dwellers that shit in a hole trying to emulate Louis the XV.
Compared to the Clinton’s, Biden was old-school grifting and corruption. The Clinton’s were the first I’ve seen who just said fuck it, we’ll do it in the open and dare anyone to stop us.
And no one in government did, but the voters were in the whole (or at least in key battleground states) sick of the stench they gave off.
I wish these people source these things. Otherwise I can make up realistic looking shit too.
Yep. See my post above about an aircraft carrier off the coast of Mexico.
Are the EIN numbers accessable? Don’t know enough to know.
Yes you can search the IRS for them.
Got back in touch with the libertarian job recruiting company. Their application is actually fun to fill out. They asked for “final thoughts/deep thoughts”, so I put a Ron Swanson quote.
*blink*
Libertarian job recruiting company?
I for one am intrigued.
#metoo
No way anyone they recruit for can pay you enough, but it’s called Talent Market if you’re interested. They work with liberty-focused non-profits like the various Kocktopuses, IJ, various think tanks and economic institutes like the Mercatus Center. They do a lot of recruiting of lawyers and fundraisers, but there are a decent amount of communications jobs (the writing kind, not the telephony kind) and occasionally a web job.
I had a whole goddamn post composed and it went poof.
Anyhoo, they exclusively work with liberty-focused non-profits (IJ, Mercatus Center, Kochtopus, etc.). Most of the jobs are for executives, lawyers, or fundraisers, but they occasionally get something technical or comms-related.
https://talentmarket.org/
Of course, it’s all non-profit salaries, so….
Ugh. Zero results for technology/web.

We put aside politics. We put aside our differences. We take part in a great American tradition. It’s actually pretty cool. Well, it was. Because now President Donald Trump is attending the game.
Punchbowl News was the first to report that Trump will attend Super Bowl 59 between Philadelphia and Kansas City in New Orleans. So the most divisive president of our lifetime is attending a game that often serves as a genuine moment of unity. Trump soils everything. Now, he’s doing the same to the biggest game of the year.
The fact Trump will be at the same game as someone as thoughtful as Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts is playing in, is a remarkable contradiction. This week, Hurts spoke about the evolution of the Black quarterback, and how he doesn’t take this moment lightly, where two Black quarterbacks are again playing in the Super Bowl. It’s the kind of thoughtfulness we’ve come to expect from him; that kind of depth Trump doesn’t possess.
Good golly.
I thought nobody was going to watch the Super Bowl this year? 🤔
Nobody goes to the Super Bowl anymore, it’s too crowded.
I’ve never forgiven him for the NJ Generals.
The Other Kevin:
I’ve actually been getting news stories about the cost of Superbowl tickets dropping.
I was seriously wondering how much I could make if I signed up to Doordash on Sunday.
Huh. I always thought that the sitting president and first lady generally attended the Super Bowl as a matter of course? Of course, it’s different now because Trump blah blah blah whagarble…
You ever watched Black Sunday?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Sunday_(1977_film)
One of my favorite films.
*spits coffee*
OK, then.
Lefties, on or off the field, should boycott the game.
Ha! The center of your Superbowl bingo card should be “Commie with microphone lectures Trump.”
Has about as much to do with their athletic ability as bragging that “both quarterbacks have red hair” or “both tight ends love the beach not the mountains.”
Trump is no more divisive than Biden or Obama; he just divides Americans from a point of view that journalists don’t like.
Trump soils everything. Now, he’s doing the same to the biggest game of the year.
No, Mike Freeman, it’s your hatred of Trump (and his supporters) that soils everything.
that kind of depth Trump doesn’t possess.
Yeah, he only cares about who wins. Completely unlike those cool, black quarterbacks.
President Donaldnezzar is going to send the Gazans into exile.
Another open question is what about the West Bank? Dumping ground for Gaza? Or you’re next?
Not the zeroing out we hoped for, but baby steps.
A federal bankruptcy judge overseeing the case of right-wing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones rejected a proposed settlement from the families of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims.
Bad idea. Jordan, Syria and Egypt have all take the Palis in to their detriment. The Palestinians are shit-stirring communist power mongers who disrupt and destroy everything. They tried toppling all of those governments and were kicked out because their culture is one of hate, murder, rape and completely unfixable.
I am all in on turning Gaza into Trump-land but not on sending the Palis anywhere except IRAN. Send them to Iran.
Iran would literally put them into camps and train them to fight better.
Not if we airdrop them properly.

The Waffle House restaurant chain is putting a 50 cent per egg surcharge in place because of the biggest bird flu outbreak in a decade.
The 24-7 restaurant said that the resulting egg shortage has led to a dramatic increase in its costs.
Bird flu is forcing farmers to slaughter millions of chickens a month, pushing U.S. egg prices to more than double their cost in the summer of 2023. And it appears there may be no relief in sight with Easter approaching.
I think the Department of Agriculture is forcing those farmers to slaughter their chicken herds.
Here’s what Animal had to say about that.

We already get more eggs than we can handle, but I’m sure friends and neighbors would buy pastured non-GMO eggs at $4 or 5/dozen.

Two of my fav bands have announced east coast tours.
Devo is playing in Brooklyn and Nick Cave in Philly and NYC.
The Dead Kennedys are also playing in a mid sized city in nearby. Might not bother with that one, but it will be an option.
It’s looking like a great spring and summer for music.
Yeah. Surprised to see Devo doing a tour as well. They’ve got dates here for Columbus and Cleveland.
Oooo! I need to look. I saw them last time they came through Dallas. Great show.
Darn it. Not Texas dates.
I amused to see only a day or two after he was a topic of conversation here that Elvis Costello is coming to my small town. I hadn’t thought of the guy in decades.

CBS was just forced to release the FULL Kamala Harris interview that they butchered and severely edited to make her sound like she had a functional brain stem.
The unedited video is 53 minutes long. I’m not committing an hour of my time to listen to Aldi Obama toss some word salad.
I’m sure I’ve mentioned before, but you truly have a way with words.
Really only need the first question/answer. That was the deceptive edit. It was disingenuous and least and outright contribution in kind.
I watched until she picked her nose. So like 30 seconds.
Sorry.
I voted so I would never have to hear from her again. Not watching it.

“I think the strategy here is: ‘Well, we’re just going to do it and dare somebody to stop us, and by the time they stop us, we’ll have destroyed it.’”
Apparently someone at NOAA. My, have the tides have turned because that is the same language flipped when you are asking for continued budget increases time and time again.
Or the way Obama enacted DACA or Biden with his attempts at student loan forgiveness.
“There are a lot more storms now than 20 to 30 years ago.” What is that called? Grasping at straws?
I don’t recall winter storms being NAMED when I was young; they happened, we just didn’t give them names.
They were named. Gale of ’67, Blizzard of ’72 duh!

Recently a Huffington Post journalist mistook foam ear plugs for rubber bullets. The internet has been funnier ever since.
