Time magazine: “we don’t know how yet, but we’re gonna find a way to link the rise of fascism and avocado toast”
The article is largely good quality but what even is this:
“We couldn’t destroy the Taliban, but office work destroyed the Taliban,” said one Tiktoker, reviewing articles and quotes from the report.
It doesn’t even name the person. Just cherry picked some random quip from social media and pasted it into the body.
Hard to cite a GPT reference.
Editor: The article is great! All we need now is a quote from social media and we can publish.
Journalist: We haven’t been able to find anything suitable, everyone thinks this story is satire.
Editor: Then just post one yourself and then quote that! But don’t reference your name, that’ll be a dead giveaway.
I’ve been hating this since Twitter became a thing. I used to read BBC news articles for (seemingly) good quality reporting, and then they started quoting random twitter users. Like, who gives a fuck?
Okay say what you will about the Taliban but this article is really interesting in a way.
Time for a company fun day
Ah, winning was easy, young man, governing’s harder
This is like that comic today with the Viking. “History is written by the winners” he has to literally sit down with quill and parchment…
Wow, maybe the taliban really will be defeated by capitalism
Which is deeply ironic considering how they founded themselves as a rebellion against the “false gods” of capitalism communism and democracy.
Capitalism will eventually beat itself
As a person fed up with office culture, I’m wondering if it’s now my time to destroy my government.
If you’re in the US, doing that would save tens of millions of lives, both in the US and across the world.
The Taliban need to unionize
Breaking news Taliban discovers music and alcohol.
Taliband
Hahahahhaha OMG. Yeah once the whole pew pew part of the insurrection is over and you actually take over the government, the whole running the government part isn’t as fun now ain’t it?
What a bunch of idiots.
It does go to show that people sometimes don’t think ahead. They seem to have only ever considered the present and now reality hit them in the face lol. Similar happened to Trump when he was elected and suddenly had to…you know…work.
