I didn’t know it was possible for me to love the Hard Times even more! This is fantastic. I especially love these bits:

At this moment Steve starts singing ‘here’s my fist it never fails, when I swing it really sails, when it strikes I want to wail, dieeeeee!!!’ and then he just starts bashing in Dan’s skull

and

At press time, it was reported that a spotted blue puppy was seen in LA carrying around the decapitated head of convicted pedophile and former Nickelodeon employee Brian Peck.

Fuck, I just love it so much. Beautiful! Thanks for posting this here, ZeroCool!

Here’s a link to the article in the screenshot, in case anyone else was interested in reading it like I was: https://www.freethink.com/futurology/cryogenically-frozen-humans

Why? A lot of people, like myself, have reclaimed it and use it to describe themselves. As long as it’s not used in a negative or derogatory way, like as an insult or name calling, I don’t see the problem?

Holy shit! This is how I just found out that bastard finally died! WOOHOO! 🎉

I remember seeing this meme many times over the years with the caption of “Is Kissinger even in this thing!?” I guess he was! He still lived entirely too long, though.

I don’t know what the rules are on whether or not we can say things like “I hope he fucking suffered!” or similar, sooooo, I guess I won’t say anything like that.

You can say whatever you want, just like always. But sex workers and their allies don’t have to like or support you using demeaning terms to refer to them that they don’t like.

If you want to be a decent, considerate person, just refer to them as sex workers (instead of hookers, or prostitutes, etc. Some don’t like the term escort, either.) It’s not hard.

I vote cricket bat, then throw a bucket of gravy on them as they lay on the ground. Then spit on them. Then kick them… A lot!

If I Google “table dancing” (in a fresh new browser I just installed on incognito mode with a VPN and everything + I never watch porn or search this stuff or anything, so it’s not just customizing it to be sexual for me - I encourage you to try this yourself) the first result in the Wikipedia article about it, which reads:

A table dance, or bartop dance, is a dance performed at (or on) a table or bar, as opposed to on a stage. It may be an erotic dance performed by a sex worker or it may be done as a leisure activity.

As you keep scrolling down, the next thing it shows is images of erotic dancers table dancing, the next thing is a list of nearby strip clubs, the next result is the dictionary.com entry for table dancing which reads:

a form of entertainment in which naked or scantily dressed women dance erotically at the tables of individual members of the audience, who must remain seated

The next result is videos of erotic dancers table dancing. And so on, and so on.

So, yeah, there’s definitely, without a doubt, a strong sexual/erotic connotation/connection to the term and the joke they made.
