You can go f**k yourselves. I see your hateful comments. Big weather change next week. (preview)
TODAY: we address critiques of the WGA strike: will shutting down TV production lead to mass mental health crises? Will the end of scripted television lead to a glorious leftist revolution? Will the writers’ strike give actually talented people such as verified twitter users a chance to shine? Also: it’s more doorbell discourse when a weather-tracking Facebook page warns parents not to let their kids ring other people’s doorbells or else he might shoot them. ---------------------------- Sign up for bonus content at http://patreon.com/miniondeathcult Support the show for $5/month and get a weekly bonus episode of Minion Death Cult as well as our brand new weekly live show: DEATH CHAT 500 (also available in podcast form).

Yeah, and it's just, you get people like Tom Humes, verified Twitter user, replying to the Writers Guild of America about their strike.
Best thing you could do.
In a recession, this will give a chance for people who are actually talented to step forward.
Fucking shut up.
Shut the fuck up.
Yeah, and I think those actually talented people should be paid the minimum wage.
I think those actually talented people should also just struggle to get by.
I think that's cool.
Yeah, absolutely.
I think that's the way to go.
And I saw that sentiment a bunch.
Like, oh man, I retweeted some girl who said that.
It was like, oh cool, now that you guys are gone, I can step in.
Yeah, this was the only thing holding you back.
Your otherwise excellent writing.
Was she a comedian or what kind of writer was she?
Yeah, totally.
Totally was like a comedian.
It wasn't funny.
It was all like GIF responses to people.
I was trying to find some redeeming there, but it was impossible.
GIFs from better TV shows.
Yeah.
From actual TV shows.
Did she, was she verified?
Did she have a blue check?
Oh, yeah, absolutely.
Of course.
That's why I saw it.
That's why I saw it in the sea of people saying dumb shit like that.
I retweeted it, it was scabby, and now the tweet's gone.
Hell yeah.
It's so good to see masses of blue checks reacting with horror
Uh, at this strike, but it makes so much sense because it's like, yeah, if you're, if you're a guy who is so desperate to be liked and to have good content that you're paying a billionaire $8 an hour or $8 a month on the theory that that will gain you some sort of influence, uh, it must be pretty wretched to see other people who actually get paid to produce content.
Where their content is actually good and it's valuable to the point where they don't have to pay anybody to produce the content.
In fact, they're the ones who get paid.
It must like make you fucking boil.
And like they also don't have, they're not verified anymore.
Most of the people you're mad at are not verified anymore.
And you're like, well, I mean, this might just help my resume.
Yeah, but yeah, I mean it just makes so much sense.
So I went to like Tom Humes Verified profile just to see what he what he would produce if he were if he were one of these talented individuals who could finally break through now that they're on strike And what most of it was you guessed it just retweets retweets of like declaration of memes account or whatever But one retweet I really liked was Tom Humes retweeted Aaron Wright
Who says, uh, Human excess death rates are skyrocketing globally.
Coincidence.
And he shared a screenshot from a Daily Mail article that says, Career apocalypse!
83 million jobs are set to vanish globally by 2027, says Davos Report.
Here are the occupations being automated into oblivion.
So, again, as like, A blue check?
I'm just putting you on the cultural right.
I mean, obviously this is a retweet.
Somebody who's worried about Davos.
Somebody who's worried about a conspiracy to get death rates up.
This is like an anti...
New World Order.
This is like, that's that's this theory and the sort of the anti W.E.F.
World Economic Forum.
Like, yeah, that is what the World Economic Forum is trying to do, bro.
They're trying to automate you out of existence.
So they have to never give you any money.
Yeah.
And you guys were you're clowning on the people who actually are trying to stop who are actually doing something to stop it instead of retweeting the fucking Ann Capybara account.
They're so worried about the great replacement of using black people that they're not worried about the one with the black mirror.
And that's what they need to be more worried about.
Yeah.
But like for real, that is what they need to be more worried about.
I saw who was, I think James Woods.
I saw a post from James Woods who was like, The trans thing is all a smokescreen.
Look at the mortality rate.
Look at the income inequality rate.
Look at... These are the real problems, and it's like...
Okay, first of all, that's your smokescreen.
Don't diss the trans smokescreen.
That's your smokescreen.
That's to prevent us from doing anything about the declining living material conditions, all right?
Absolutely.
Second of all, in the replies, everybody was like, no, that's not a smokescreen.
That's actually the worst problem in the world.
How people are dressing is actually reaching an inflection point.
Yeah, there's a problem.
I mean, I don't know if you've seen the way that these kids are layering these days, but they're really, they're hoarding clothes.
I'm, the way they're laying is like they're hoarding clothes.
I don't care for it.
Your pants don't need, you know how many pairs of pants you could have made with those baggy pants?
Three.
The answer's three.
You could have dressed three different people with those baggy pants you're wearing.
Uh, yeah, sure, you know, the more- the average life expectancy is going down, but fuck, have you seen these fingerless gloves they're all wearing?
What the fuck is up with that?
What is- what the fuck is going on?
Somebody had to make those gloves.
Aren't they cold?
Somebody had to make those, right?
Where are they putting the fingertips?
Where are those going?
Does anyone know where those are going?
They're turning them into genitalia.
They're turning them into genitalia for teens.
Yeah, they're using them as nipples they can put on anything.
