I looked up the Dutch “kak” and that’s pretty funny. It means “bad” in Greek, but the Dutch meaning still works great - rule by the shittiest people.

under the right circumstances any one of us would stand over our enemy, covered in blood, breathing and smiling like a chimpanzee with the bloodied corpse of his former foraging mate at his feet.

“Let me tell you something about Hew-mons, Nephew. They’re a wonderful, friendly people, as long as their bellies are full and their holosuites are working. But take away their creature comforts, deprive them of food, sleep, sonic showers, put their lives in jeopardy over an extended period of time and those same friendly, intelligent, wonderful people… will become as nasty and as violent as the most bloodthirsty Klingon.”

- Quark, Star Trek: Deep Space 9

“Kak” is from Greek. “Cac” is an alternate spelling coming from the same root via French, as in “cacophony” or

“I’m evil, but I’m not a monster.”

Idiocracy was less mean-spirited than reality, though. Sure, people were assholes, but they weren’t trying to eradicate trans people or immigrants.

Kinda confused by the ENT uniforms, since she said it hadn’t been updated since the 2260s, which is TOS era. Those uniforms were 100 years old even then!

Never to return!

He also played the aptly-named Goldmember.

Finally, we’ll know where the word came from!

Boy, what a reversal we have now. Around when Brexit finally happened, the US kicked Trump out of office. It felt like we were going in the right direction and the UK wasn’t. Now the UK has put Labour back in power while we’re going all-in on fascism. Fuck. We should have just stuck with the monarchy.

They can’t do it legally without changing the law. Of course, the only laws that will matter soon are those that the GOP supports.

“Nooo, we were trying to spread the meme, not destroy it!”

Fuckin’ Ico, always knew he was traitor!

“Good news, everyone! The Allies won the war and fascism has been defeated!”

In Our Dumb History, the founder of the Onion was said to be Friedrich Siegfried Zweibel. “Zweibel” is German for “onion.”

EDIT: “Zwiebel” is “onion,” not “Zweibel.” Almost certainly chosen due to its similarity to the word, though.
