Fisher Chemicals temporarily changed the color coded labeling of their lab supplies to promote breast cancer awareness. The problem is, the color coding reflects the grading and storage requirements of the chemical contents, so it's easy to see breaches of workplace safety when somebody misplaces a bottle of a dangerous compound. They decided to ignore that, because everybody knows that when handling chemicals, you should first and foremost consider the existence of cancer. It's extra funny because some of the pink labels obscured the classification of known potent carcinogens.

im pretty sure informing people about preventive health practices could be done both more efficiently, and more effectively without employing millions of marketing assholes with unlimited budgets who forego all messages for self indulgent PR stunts and corporate advertising

e.g. by making sure everybody has a GP who can hand them a leaflet or something

Okay I really don't understand, what is the significance of performing a tribute song to an artist who just died but dressed as a losing presidential candidate?

Lorne Michaels famously hates Leonard Cohen. He originally wanted to have the tribute song performed by Adam Sandler dressed up as Idi Amin, blackface and all, but then, during one of his morphine-induced blackouts, the crew re-wrote the bit to be a little more subtle.

Hot take: Lena Dunham is closer to being Donald Trump than most of Trump's supporters are.

You are right, and in 2018 Donald and Lena will be photographed together at a White House reception because what they both care about is celebrity hunting and nothing more. Lena just thought Hillary was a bigger and easier to access / to ingratiate with celebrity than trump. But Trump will do as well.

But Frank's megalomania, fed by the knowledge that he helped the incumbent president get away with murder, combined with his peaking addiction to crack, caused the movie to flop. And thus the globalist plans unraveled, and the public became extremely woke, electing Donald Trump a mere two decades later.

Back during the invasion of Crimea and the opening stages of the separatist war in Ukraine, they had a reporter, Simon Ostrovsky, who made daily dispatches from the frontlines, and also filmed extensive evidenceof Russian presence, simply by talking to locals in the affected areas. IIRC he also contributed image evidence to the Brown Moses investigations.

It was the only serious English language coverage of Ukraine at that time.

So they did at least one thing right.

I would blow Dane Cook posted:

Can you explain Trump's election with Twilight metaphors?
Clinton was like Edward, a distant, cold and uncaring vampire who is in an abusive relationship with an impressionable, obsessive and dumb young girl (hint: America). The relationship is built literally on nothing except some aesthetic ideal that Edward represents to Bella America. In fact Edward keeps abandoning her for long periods of times, and only appears occasionally for short periods of time (hint: election) when their relationship appears to evolve into something more meaningful, but then he always leaves her again, supposedly for her own good but realistically for his own selfish reasons, often to carouse with billionaire vampire elders, as all the other vampires seem to function reasonably well around America, and Edward is the only one who is an awkward sperglord with the personality of a dead rabbit (vampires eat dead rabbits, so this is a joke for you Twilightheads). The other vampires are alternative Democratic nominees, such as Bernie Sanders, represented by Alice Cullen, who has the incredible psychic power of predicting the future through perfect empathy with all living creatures (Bernie Sanders used this power to summon a bird of peace to his rally) - Sanders predicts the upcoming class battle between the establishment (represented by a thinly disguised ripped-off World of Darkness Ventrue clan in the books) and the disenfranchised proletariat of all the other characters on the frozen surface of a lake - this is a metaphor for the precarious state of the world in face of the climate change.

Trump is like Jacob, an unlikable, self-obsessed hothead with an attitude issue and a shallow physical lust for America, which he tries to feebly rationalize in his platitudes to her. He is the opposite of Edward, while Edward would keep America hanging for extended periods of time, only appearing at strategic junctures to temporarily reinforce his relationship with America, Jacob is basically a stalker, who appears downright pathetic and seems to do his more harm than good to his chances with America with his constant attempts to talk her into leaving Edward for good and becoming his girlfriend instead. However, much like Trump, Jacob reveals that he has several trumps up his sleeve - first, he becomes a vampire, thus reversing the powerplay between him and Edward, whose frail physique makes him seem weak, and reminds one of a sufferer of some disease, perhaps even consumption (or pneumonia!), second, he represents the interests of the citizens of America (his Native American tribesmen) against the arrogant, violent newcomers (the aristocratic, yet bloodthirsty Anglo-Saxon vampires who are intruders in Jacob's land). It doesn't need to be mentioned that this is a striking parallel to the Trump platform of protecting the territorial and demographic integrity of his country against a legion of rapists and terrorists.

Now, in the books Bella chooses Edward over Jacob, but therein lies the real genius of Stephenie Meyer. Remember that the books were written during the Obama presidency - Bella here represents the naive America wowed by the Obama campaign, surrendering herself to his charms, even though it in effect means that the first sight that ignited her love would put her under the sell of Obama's natural follower, the uncharismatic, selfish Hillary (Obama is the side of Edward that made Bella fall in love with him, Hillary is the side that makes her relationship with him abusive and unsustainable). However, by doing so this America turns into yet another lifeless vampire. Now our gaze must turn towards Bella's newborn child, the product of her unholy bond with Edward (establishment Democrats), though which America itself was seemingly turned into a domain of ivory tower elites with no place for the common man. But Renesme, the child, has in fact warm blood coursing through her veins, she is the future of America, not Bella, and Jacob Trump sees it, he imprints on the newborn, and thus is symbolically described the dynamic of this election - the aging coalition of people who elected Obama is too lifeless, too disenchanted to really effect the world outside the circles of Establishment vampires, even though they are nominally bound to Democrats through marriage to Hillary Cullen, there is no life in them that could stop their descent into irrelevance. But they gave life to a new political being, Renesme, which is an antithesis of its parents, you can imagine her as all the expunged, abandoned life force of Bella / America coalescing into a new form, a fertile soil to be tilled by Trump - Jacob and his lustful, energetic, albeit naive and brutish way.

There's a way to talk about issues while remaining respectful and considerate of the "less enlightened" people. Such articles realize they need to fulfill a certain didactic function to be effective, and that in order to be didactic, they need to start out from a broadly relatable point and work gradually, in a structured fashion, to the for many people transgressive opinion that is their point.

However nowadays so many articles, like the Mario one, are written for the sole purpose of masturbating the author's ego and to challenge the world to a pissing match over wokeness, and as a result are antagonizing to everybody who doesn't already agree with him, and even to many people who do in fact principally hold the same views.
