This is my conversational account. For my work follow @ribbonfarm, @breaking_smart, @artofgig. Tweets are 90% vacuous views, apathetically held. Mediocritopian.

    go brr is harambe-grade, a liminal passage meme that’s hard for any single group to claim and marks a narrative twist that affects entire internet of beefs I think there’s only a handful: doge, harambe, ok-boomer (an anti-meme), go brr

 We made a @gitcoin bounty for memes. The goal? Bring memetic virality to the idea The Federal Reserve is Bad. The one that gets the most engagement wins the bounty. Ready, go! 1/x pic.twitter.com/vdvvDtxEyK

        "[machine] goes brrr" really captures the absurdity of processes/policies/forces that folks recognize as absurd, but can't stop. Its gonna stick with us.

        I feel like “go brr” is like harambe more than the others because the very online recognize it immediately, while normal people be like “what?”

        Didn't go brr originate with the neoliberals/centrists on Reddit? Specifically, /r/politicalcompassmemes?
