He also played the aptly-named Goldmember.

I used to be able to read stories like this and be glad I didn’t live in a country that had nationally state-sponsored things like this.

I won’t be able to feel that way any more.

You know what would help this situation? Letting a fascist become President of the United States. Again.

Poe’s Law is gonna hit hard.

Even if it did, Musk would just buy it.

It’s still weird to me that there is no US instance.

Damn good thing. We definitely don’t want one hosted in a fascist country.
