Just for Xeets and Giggles (03.02.24)

The week began with Trump claiming that he would appeal to Black voters because of his multiple indictments. Racist much?

The GOP has always had trouble making any of us believe that Black people support them despite their policies and their racism.

Meanwhile, they continued to complain that President Biden’s newest efforts to reduce student debt was just pandering to the base.

Unsatisfied with going after President Biden’s son, they are going after (confirms, shakes head) his ancestors?

This was too easy to mock.

But Mary Trump, again, for the kill shot.

The fallout from the $450 mil+ judgment in the New York civil fraud trial continued, and it made for some great internet humor.

I would also watch this, no question.

I don’t know who created this meme, but give them a medal. Pure gold.

Trump went to the border to press his case that it is both a crisis and something he doesn’t want solved before the election.

And this nugget from the 1990s and Trump’s visit to Japan had me imagining the moment and chuckling.

“Who is Donald Trump again? Schedule him a year out.” — Japanese Emporer

Jimmy Kimmel interviewed Trump supporters and proved definitively that they are in fact in a cult of delusion. This bit is worth a watch.

This meme though…

Back to the funnies!

They keep trying to sell us on what AI can do when humans already do quite well.

AI can be scary to many, but on the question of Jim Jordan it was hilarious.

Ooops.

He wasn’t alone in being punked by AI. Climate denialist Michael Schellenberger posted this response from Google’s AI tool:

Speaking of big mouthed disinformation spreaders, Marjorie Three Names is out to prove she is a top Putin spokesperson.

And in other Christian Nationalist news, Speaker Mike Johnson went to the White House for budget talks with the president’s team and congressional leaders.

Right-wing media seemed to have an issue with Joe Biden (checks notes twice), yes, it was ice cream. Ice. Cream. Let the receipts be shown.

Sen. Tommy Tuberville tried it.

Republicans love to harp on crime, even when it is falling on average across the nation, and even when their own family members are arrested for car theft.

It’s almost too easy with Bobo.

Speaking of terrible women, Chaya Raichik was interviewed by Taylor Lorenz of the Washington Post, and she confirmed on video that she is pure trash for continuing to terrorize the trans community. Apparently even she could see that the interview cast her in a decidedly negative light.

Yes, what he said:

I feel icky even thinking about Libs of TikTok and what it does to innocent people just trying to live their lives.

So let’s move on to cats living their best ones! This kitty learned from the best. Watch the clip here.

I need to find these hands and try this with my cat, Shade.

This moment gets a perfect 10 for execution.

If this dog with a camera doesn’t make you smile, I don’t know what to tell you.

Humans with cameras can be quite adorably funny as well, as evidenced by this clip.

And straight women everywhere want to know, guys.

Meanwhile, this is the gayest sh*t I’ve seen in a while, all to prove… he’s not gay?

Meanwhile, the mystery of Kate Middleton’s whereabouts occupied many idle minds…

It was also leap year day this week, and the Empire State Building decided to post… this?

If you missed this reunion from The Devil Wears Prada, it’s worth a watch. So epic!

The funniest thing on the Internet this week, though, came courtesy of our friends in Glasgow, Scotland, where a “Willy Wonka Experience” didn’t quite live up to its billing.

Here are some notable images.

Let the memes begin.

Speaking of this and The Devil Wears Prada…

One of the actors hired to perform gave a confession which went super viral for very good reasons. This is stupendous.

Nice tie-in to the cultural juggernaut that hit theatres this weekend:

Speaking of Dune… here’s a dad joke

I’m picturing this moment and giggling. Kid is going places.

I leave you with an old Dad Joke that’s really only funny if you know some elementary French…

Have a great weekend!
