e.g. *whacks the croissant off your breakfast plate* "i said NO POLITICS!"
makes you wonder what this is about. is it because the croissant is french? does this relate to the french not wanting to co-invade iraq in 2003? or is it because the croissant looks both like two dicks and the horns of satan, and thus promotes homosexuality? or is it due to the flagrant use of butter in the recipe, alluding to Jim Field Smith’s butter-carving satire Butter?
still can't get over that github ticket. you say the words "gender neutral" and all hell breaks loose. douche dev mumbles something about "no politics" because all he does between his porn sessions is to get lit and hang out on /b/. he gets milkshake ducked, kids create github accounts just to grandstand to him, and then the incel clowncar rolls up, the doors open, and out bounces an unholy conga line of death cultists ready to storm the capitol again. is it 2015? do we still do this?

there is, i think, at this point enough proof that you do not need to be at the top of some kind of social hierarchy to bring about social change. heck, ask yourself if the change you want is even truly social.
only military organizations believe in hierarchy. our world is a network, and you can pull its strings from anywhere.
at some point customers will jailbreak their janky customer service rep AI so often, they'll lobby to make it illegal to "confuse the robot", just watch
PR guy at wacom: Fuck. FUCK FUCK FUCK! This whole AI shit is worrying budding artists so much, they're giving up on their careers! Our tablet sales are tanking! This AI craze is doing nothing for us! What a lemon! Unless... hmm! What if if we used it to generate ad illustrations? We could cut costs and at least squeeze *some* lemonade from this...
One day after Doom celebrates its 30th anniversary, Linux 6.6.6 is released. And it is in the humble opinion of this narrator that this is not just "Something That Happened." This cannot be "One of those things..." This, please, cannot be that. And for what I would like to say, I can't. This Was Not Just A Matter Of Chance. These strange things happen all the time.
