Adult humor at one’s own expense or the expense of “public figures” was celebrated, not cancelled, in the halcyon days of yore like 5 years ago.

This used to fly: https://jesuschristsiliconvalley-blog.tumblr.com/ and the world was better for it.

Bravo, Swiftian sarcastic satirical Sir or Madame.

God, I love that site.

You and me both: the magistrates and noblemen and aldermen serve a purpose, but the current crop apparently read Sapiens or The Selfish Gene or some other airport book instead of their Marcus Aurelius: you’re only mortal, you’re not even Achilles let alone a god.

And so they need to be shrunk down to size by someone wittier than they are, from time to time. Which given the demonstrable identical distributions of capability between the kleptocrats and the whole population? There’s someone smarter than the God Emperor of tagging or cloud or CUDA at a UCSD keg party.

As for the tightass posers who are sitting on the downvote button of a comment with “I love this” pinned under it: if you think you know more about what’s in and out of bounds concerning humor on HN than a daily user for sixteen years? Well in that case, been a minute pg, hope Jessica is well.

Otherwise? Take a long walk off a short bridge.

Taylor Swift writes satire? (Ducks object thrown at my head)

There's Swift on Security, and cybersec is half satire anyway.
