Oh, the qurstion was rhetorical – the function was a relevancy check.
The Hill may think all of those names are important but only half are making it out of the political wonkosphere.
I will kill Poe’s law or die trying. I hate the idea that we share so little context as a culture that every joke needs a signpost. I fight it my way, but the real war will only be won when global society has enough shared culture for us to make each other laugh without honking a bike horn and giving an exaggerated full-body wink.

(wonk is an mid 20th century word for nerd)
Was it fairly clear I was just being funny? I hoped so, I try not to tell jokes that actually need to be /s tagged.
Lemmy has grown a lot, and Poe’s law grows in effect the more Lemmy grows.

Nah. /s tag is a good call. Never saw one that looked out of place in use.
Comedians have been using the written word for eons. Some jokes don’t land when written, and the real solution wasn’t invented this decade.
My personal policy is that if the joke needs a laugh track, a rimshot, or any big sign that says “Joke” being waved, the joke doesn’t work.
Your theory seems so well thought out that I’m surprised to see it failing you.
You got me there. You have to admit though, that Lemmy is a challenge for people like me.
Sounds like you got that covered. You don’t need me anymore. 🕊️
