Hey, why is everyone talking about Caesar Chavez all of the sudden?

Oh.

Oh no.

[jgoodleaf@mstdn.social]

@evacide OK. Now I'm heading over to Google.

[finchhaven@sfba.social]

@evacide

And (surprise, surprise) the New York Times is right out front leading the charge to set the record straight

[queenofthecroneage@beige.party]

@evacide

So fucking pissed. Gaiman-esque timeline, motherfuckers.

[mattgriffin@masto.ai]

@evacide I've been talking about Cesar Romero and boy do I feel silly

[chrisholladay@mastodon.social]

@evacide
Uh oh is right.

[itsmeholland@mastodon.social]

@evacide oh, you guys really meant it when you said ANYONE can be a predator?? 🫨

[jgoodleaf@mstdn.social]

@evacide *sigh* I hate this timeline.

[hko@mastodon.social]

@evacide ugh

[evacide@hachyderm.io]

@jgoodleaf I couldn't even get to the end of the article.

[barrysweeney@mastodon.social]

@mattgriffin @evacide were you joking around?

[mattgriffin@masto.ai]

@BarrySweeney @evacide yes, this is a Simpsons thing, sorry

[jgoodleaf@mstdn.social]

@evacide Yeah. Me neither. At least it's gratifying to see that people are listening, and canceling Chavez day, etc.

[sharpcheddargoblin@kolektiva.social]

@evacide Pretty sure humans were a mistake.

[mweiss@infosec.exchange]

@evacide having heroes instead of honoring the ideals sets us up for this. I wish it weren't true, but the reality is that humans are complicated.

To be clear, this is not an argument that minimizes what Chavez did. It is an argument that we make a mistake by attaching lofty ideals to human beings.

@SharpCheddarGoblin @evacide amen brother

[ipd@universeodon.com]

@evacide

Turns out he was one of the Ides of protest marches.

[barrysweeney@mastodon.social]

@mattgriffin @evacide
Ah, The Simpson's was somewhat after my time, I only remember him from the '60s Batman series (my favourite, obvs).
