Anyway, let's first just address the image: Punch is only about 1.5 years old, too young to reproduce, and male. Male Japanese macaques infrequently provide infant care beyond occasional social interactions. The infant remains under its mother's care.
Yeah, it makes for feel-good viral content, but it's complete bullshit. I've been following Punch since the beginning precisely because his story is an interesting microcosm of the internet's mis/disinfo problem (and, hey, cute monkey). Thread for those who are unaware tk.
"We are much more open-minded when it comes to jokes that target us. While I don't like the jokes and I don't think they're funny, I am not the arbiter of what great humor is. Nor do I feel that people ought to be silenced on the basis of me not liking a particular joke."
Dave Chappelle said that he “feels better” since Charlie Kirk’s murder. It wasn’t really a joke. The broader question for Democrats is this: how deep does the hatred go?

How do you do a political hit job on a non-politician?
SNL is literally the antithesis of comedy and satire.
It takes weak men to take cheap shots — especially about @elonmusk’s kids. Elon is a devoted dad who prioritizes time with his kids and it’s obvious they absolutely adore him.
This is just a political hit job masquerading under the banner of comedy.
Make comedy actually funny again.

To see leftist podcasters, comedians, and commentators laugh about political assassination as though it’s entertainment and the destruction of a human life is a punchline, is beyond disgusting.
My husband, Charlie Kirk, was killed in an act of political violence, something our two children and I will live with every day for the rest of our lives.
A culture that laughs at assassination is one of profound moral decay. It threatens the very foundation of our country and the principles that hold our democracy together.
You do not have to agree with someone’s politics to recognize the value of their life. This should not be so hard.
Political violence must never be something this country tolerates, excuses, or celebrates.

Conservatives need to make up their mind regarding Dave Chappelle and stick to it. He's your problem now.

I feel like figuring out who Melania knows who isn't wealthy or connected enough to avoid deportation is a thread worth pulling.
Instead of a discount, cops and veterans will now have to pay double at all Applebee's locations.
