Neocons like Dick Cheney backing Democrats is nothing new. It is a sign of how far right Democrats have become. Neocons began moving to the Democratic Party in 2014 to back Hillary Clinton. https://www.nytimes.com/2014/07/06/opinion/sunday/are-neocons-getting-ready-to-ally-with-hillary-clinton.html?unlocked_article_code=1.I04.eYjd.awc4FPKMJZQj

The richest people on the planet are funding the next Jan 6 coup attempt here in the USA, and globally.

Inciting rioters in Britain was a test run for Elon Musk. Just see what he plans for America

The presidential election is three months away. What if the billionaire contests the result? What if he decides democracy is overrated?

gd;lp - got distracted, lost place
tmg;dr - too many gifs, didn’t read
ev;dr - excessive verbosity, didn’t read

@gigantos That's one use yes. Another is signaling that you decline to engage with the content because length. (Though it's sometimes bad formatting rather.) This is what I had in mind. And honestly I didn't think much about the joke nor assumed it would blow up so.

@holothuroid I couldn't help but put my philosophical hat on. With all this talk about new prefixes. How would they work exactly?

TL;DR is too long, didn't read. However, the way it is used appears to indicate the opposite. It is more like "in case you couldn't be bothered to read it, here is a summary" in my experience.

With that, it got me thinking about what PW;DR would mean. I guess it means "I have access to the paywalled content, and here is a summary"?

How about AI;DR? Do we even want the summary?

@20002ist I don't know who those people are or what country they hail from.

I suppose you could find an asshole for every two letter combination though.
