Lying to someone then laughing when they believe you isn't a joke, it's just being mean.
Anyway, before you push that April Fool's post live, some questions to consider:
- Is it a joke?
- Is it a funny joke?
- Is it a funny joke that punches up instead of down?
- Is the joke still funny going into year six of a global pandemic and during the staggeringly cruel rise of global fascism?
@xgranade oh fuck, thanks for the reminder!
(my timeblind ass completely forgot already, despite very overtly pushing for hours to get a bunch of month-end stuff out yesterday)
@xgranade i deeply loathe april fools day online and everyone who participates in it. it’s one of the worst cultural traditions we have on the internet
