I've been talking to friends lately who are targets of troll campaigns. Some are just weird Twitter obsessing, but what is a "joke" lately?

Like, "Hillary runs a secret sex club under a pizza joint in DC" would 100% have been a joke I'd have made two years ago. A running one.

Now that joke gets people damn near shot. So I wonder given this new norm if maybe we oughtn't have a think about the cost of humor.

This is exactly my take on the bs about Krang getting suspended. "Joking" about antifa planning violence is not a joke.
