The Seth Meyers clip from this article is from 2016

Senator Booker stood on the floor
For a day (plus an hour five minutes)
To speak out on Orange acts all should deplore,
Though at last even he found his limits.

Observers made comments showing support,
“At last, at least some piece of action!”
Yet others despaired and were seen to retort,
“Too late!” for the Democrat faction.

But a rare beam of hope as a flash in our lives
Shines all the more bright for the dark.
And signals perhaps—gives a reason for why—
His speech shows an important mark

Of a record, now smashed, was hereto unbroken,
And for 70 years sowed division.
If for no other change we’ll know that he’s spoken
And created historic revision.

it’s a mystery for sure

First thing I thought of too

“Rise from your grave and save my daughter!”

He wasn’t one of the dumb ones who had a revelation, he’s one of the soulless ones who sold us out

That phrase can also be parsed as a security failure involving signal, not because of it. Like a treaty created at camp david (eg) could be referred to in a headline as “camp david treaty” even if the official title is “Sweden Finland pact to stop throwing rotten fish over the border accord”.

Aliens do an Earth drive by, use a tractor beam to yank a human specimen through the mesosphere, log the name of the species as blisterface and fly away.

Will he be the first journalist to disappear?

Oof, good point

And now the “environmental protection agency” is about extracting profit at the expense of the environment

I’m looking forward to Schumer whipping up enough bootlickers on the dem side to pass this in the spirit of cooperation

I wonder if he was ever good at it, or if before he got a pass on being a weird guy because his goals seemed positive (save the planet, push tech forward). Now that he’s fixated on manosphere/nazi shit, more people are less willing to overlook his idiosyncrasies.
