But you don't get a lot of the, like, random person tweets something stupid.

You get, like, I mean, there's the vagina plane incident.

I don't know if you remember that with US Airways where they accidentally tweeted porn.

Yes.

That was a really good day in my newsroom.

I opened up the post and just screamed and my editor at the time was like, what are you screaming about?

And I was like, ah, and then I, yeah, it was, it was a good day.

Um, and there was like lots of stuff like that, you know, brands behaving badly, Trump figures saying something stupid, but it kind of takes a break.

And this is what I talked about earlier, where like we had this.

you know, five year moratorium kind of on a lot of this stuff.

One of the last main characters of the internet before Trump enters office is Candace Payne, who uploads a Facebook live video of her using a Chewbacca mask.

Yes.

She goes on the Ellen show two days later.

I think someone wrote an argument that like Ellen DeGeneres was the apex predator that like pruned the ecosystem of these things.

I used to, I had a version of it that I used to use called the Harambe cycle, which is that if a meme.

couldn't be monetized and thus killed, it would exist forever and become uglier and uglier over time.

So like Charlie Kirk is harambeing right now because you can't have, you know, Kellogg's be like, I'm kirking on it.

You know, like it doesn't work.

And Epstein, I mean, you could.

Should we launch our own cereal?
