Off to walk the dogs. I’ll be about three or four resignations.

Hey Conservative MPs, you could have avoided all this if you'd not declared you had confidence in the PM the other week.

I think that there are neurotypical people who probably also don’t get it at first but they would probably make someone explain it to them whereas I was like “this doesn’t make sense so Not Making Sense must be the POINT” which feels a bit neurodivergent to me lol

“The point is that things don’t make sense” rather than trying to find the sense (which I maybe could have figured out if I didn’t accept that it wasn’t supposed to make sense) feels like how a lot of neurodivergent people approach large concepts too like gender

It wasn't until recently that I got the "why did the chicken cross the road" joke bc from a young age I misanalyzed the joke structure as "the answer is so literal that it catches you off guard and that's the funny part is that it's not funny.” Anyway my fyp thinks I’m autistic

“The other side” is a euphemism for death. The chicken was killed by a car while crossing the road.

Elle (@ElleMaeGal)Wed, 06 Jul 2022 16:22 +0000

OH MY FUCKING GOD WHAT Please tell me that it actually is "the joke is so literal that it catches you off guard" because that's how I've understood it my entire life

jokes rely on assumed power structures and hierarchy - Nish's joke is (implicitly) attacking the dominant power in UK society (white, male, privileged). If you flipped the roles and the targets, it becomes a white guy willing attacks on minorities which yes, is racist

I think at a certain point the idea "nothing in comedy is off-limits" (which is true, but often misinterpreted) got mangled into meaning "any joke can be told by (and at the expense of) any person at any time" which is fundamentally not true

What happens next in British politics. The Chancellor of the Exchequer must now secure the golden snitch from Buckingham Palace. This is transported to 221b Baker Street and then a minimum of two James Bonds will be summoned by MI6. The Bonds will detonate a Christmas cracker.
