media; "comedy"; dictatorships; scary scary history; humans are fucking crazy; uspol-adjacent 

I knew the "Gurpgork" joke from Archer (where an insane Central Asian dictator changed everything from the name for "Tuesday" to the words for "dog," "bread," and "snake" to "gurpgork") had some basis in reality.

I had no idea JUST HOW LITTLE THEY HAD TO CHANGE THE FACTS.

CW: for scary uspol adjacency. I'll bet one quantum hop over from this universe, today is the 9th of Ivanka, 3 A.T., the 79th element is "Trumpium," and a well-done steak with ketchup costs 100 Trumps. 😱​
