Should childless adults watchBluey?
Can people be normal aboutSydney Sweeney?
Pick a side or log off.
CouldThe Sopranosget made today?I guess itcould.
I just dont think networks are really putting out anything thats at that level of quality.
So in that sense, it couldnt.
Is Tony Soprano alive?Thats always been my opinion.
I geta lotof shit about this.
Frompeople online, but from all my friends, too.
They all think Im crazy.
I think he was not shot and killed in that diner.
I dont think thats the point of that final scene.
What is the point of that final scene?Putting you into [Tony Sopranos] frame of mind.
Thats all we really need.
What do we get out of seeing him go on trial and go to jail?
What do we get out of seeing him get shot in the head?
We dont need that.
I acknowledge the plausibility that he could be dead, but thats just not really the point of that.
Tell me about the origins of Socialist Sopranos Memes.I started on Facebook.
It was late in 2018.
I was doing aSopranosrewatch and I was making some memes that had nothing to do withThe Sopranos.
That sounds crazy, right?
Thats where it started.
Then I went to college.
I probably shifted to the right a little bit.
I was like,Maybe Im more of a libertarian?I had one of those silly little journeys.
Then the whole Bernie thing happened in 2016.
After Bernie 2016, I joined a small socialist organization, and Im still a member today.
I putsomething outmocking the whole, Oh, they can never make this today in todays woke society.
The whole premise of the show is the good old days werent actually all that good.
The whole idea is you cant make it great again because it wasnt great to begin with.
Its obviously deeper than that.
Its not unusual for you to upset people online.
Since Im not going to argue with my family and my friends, Ill do it with strangers.
I just throw it out there, and if strangers want to get upset about it, thats fine.
Maybe its good for them too to not have a real person to get mad at.
I need some kind of outlet.
I could only rant so much to my wife about politics.
I didnt know it was going to even become that when I started with this.
It was just a silly thing I was doing, showing my friends.
At some point, it just became my release.
Its more about whatevers going on in the world is probably what would change me in any way.
Israel and Palestine was something very contentious with a bunch of people in my life.
Its funny that you havepeople yellingat you, Why do you hate Taylor Lorenz?

Some of them were not wearing masks on the picket line outdoors on their picket line in early 2023.
Theyre just baristas and whatnot, trying to get a better wage.
Im a union worker for almost 11 years now.
So, no, Im not going to tolerate that.
Youre a big public figure and youre going around saying all this stuff.
you’re free to and should be able to handle criticism.
I get criticized, my page gets criticized.
I can handle that.
She responded by saying I joinedthe right-wing harassment campaign.
Yeah, that was the big one.
How are you feeling going into this election?I mean, not great.
Four years later, thats just all compounded.
I mean, sure, theres a lot of potential to come up with memes on the election.
More older Biden jokes.
Trumps the harder one to make jokes about.
Why is that?Im a socialist, so obviously, I dont like a billionaire business magnate.
So every time theres an election, I get the stuff about, You only go after Democrats.
Im like, No one ever confuses me for a Republican.
I get confused for a Democrat.
Every time I make something mocking Democrats or Biden, that just reinforces that idea.
I dont even know if Im going to vote.
I dont like any of these guys.Dont even throw RFK at me, none of them.
I live in New Jersey, what does it even matter here?
