Is anyone preparing a production of "King Lear" with the title actor in a rubber Rupert mask?

Nobody? Yeah, great, now I have to do fucking *every*thing?

This puts me in the mind of ditty by Mr. Sturgill Simpson:

"Well now, Lord, if you can hear me, Won't you throw a damn dog a bone?

'Cause if the Devil shows up with a better deal, This old soul's a-goin' down

Oh, I sing 'em real pretty, sing 'em real sad, And all the people in the crowd say "He ain't half-bad"

Well, they call me King Turd up here on Shit Mountain

If you want, you can have the crown."

Take it away Lachlan...

(edited for spelling...)

Presumably there’s some kind of containment field or “nursing home” where he and Kissinger can while away their last few years? Hell had a cage for that in Supernatural.

OK, Disgusting, Mucoid, Throne of Filth, Excreted Fetid Minds (future glam-goo band?)

But BEST of all: ENSHITTEN

And I'm only on the 2nd paragraph! I understood once I saw the subject matter!

Still laughing, great work!

Enshittification is a technical term in economics. From the wikipedia page:

"Enshittification, also known as platform decay,[1] is a way to describe the pattern of decreasing quality of online platforms that act as two-sided markets."

"Here is how platforms die: first, they are good to their users; then they abuse their users to make things better for their business customers; finally, they abuse those business customers to claw back all the value for themselves. Then, they die. I call this enshittification, and it is a seemingly inevitable consequence arising from the combination of the ease of changing how a platform allocates value, combined with the nature of a “two sided market,” where a platform sits between buyers and sellers, hold each hostage to the other, raking off an ever-larger share of the value that passes between them.[2]"

Honey, is my platform decaying? I hate when THAT happens! Now ya made me look stuff up and learn things and my head's full again! Sounds kinda self-defeating (que parasitoid). OK this is gross but we ARE discussing shit! (kind of) I noticed the word right after returning home to find that my sweet but antique sheepdog had enshittified (?) the kitchen. I really regret not choosing my next steps more carefully, as I thusly enshitted (?) not one but both shoes - encountering a substance not seen or smelled since toddlers roamed the house - (part algae part toxic waste, you remember!) and you always know the second your shoe goes slideways in a stinky version of TX Calichie clay (suck the shoe right off your foot!) But my 12-YO Old English co-pilot & all-around BFF tried, and didn't crap in my boot like a common Fat Freddy's cat! (My fav character... and Commander Cockroach, but then I digress!)

OK, my work here is dung! (I'll show myself out)

After single handedly destroying the news media in the entire English speaking world, Rupert ambles off into the sunset, his work done.

Let’s hope Satan calls in his marker soon.

If Ben Franklin's spirit was reanimated he'd be appalled at the media consolidation that the United States Government has allowed. Reagan set this up.

Hmmm. Some possible reasons I can think of...

1. Something REALLY bad is coming down the pike and he wants to be out of the top job for plausible deniability.

2. Lachlan got sick of waiting and called in his favours from Cthulhu.

3. His human suit is rapidly failing, and all the rituals have been unsuccessful. Now he's run out of babies.

4. The Metamorphosis has become too advanced to hide. He must burrow underground and await the death of the sun, when he may emerge to seek a mate.

“It was not reported whether the elder Murdoch will transfer his dark soul-consuming contract with the legions of Hell itself to Lachlan, or if Lachlan will seal a new agreement with the Unholy One in an arcane ritual on an altar of human bones at Fox News in New York City.”

this is art, Dok.
