          Oh you are right - I didn’t chase the context up high enough to confirm my recollection. Still - no better, arguably worse. 😬

        But Dr Drew is a reasonably competent doctor.

        More importantly, would he be an obedient servant of the king, and follow his bidding (and delusions) without question? Because that’s the only thing that really matters here.

      He’s not. But several years ago the media latched onto a well established term from “internet culture” without understanding (or perhaps caring) what it was actually describing, and decided that it meant ridiculing something on social media. It’s an example of a subculture’s slang getting thoroughly corrupted through mainstream exposure until it no longer means what it once did.

        This headline is basically “Have you seen this meme?” and nothing more.

        Its then shared on the same websites as memes get posted.

        Such enlightened age of information we live in.

          While I agree with your point, this isn’t an indictment of journalism. Comicsands.com is George Takei’s personal buzzfeed clone. I love George Takei but it’s not an actual news source, it’s a meme blog. Personally, I don’t think it belongs in any serious news oriented communities.

            That just sounds like a tabloid with extra steps.

            However i am not one to argue with subjective literature for entertainment but in this place mistook it for attempted journalism.

            Would it fit better in /memes? It is not a meme but contains some and adds context.

    If they are “trolling” on Xitter, they are just trolling themselves, in the end. It helps out Elon and he’s in the tank for donvict.

      Kevorkian, besides being dead, acted out of a sense of morality. Nothing could be further than Trump’s intention.
