The. Memes are only reflections of things people already know.

When's the last time you saw a meme that taught you something or made you think about something more deeply?

The vast majority are cotton candy facts.

Have you something even remotely resembling a proof for this set of rather interesting claims of fact?

"Now" is a point in time.

I used a very unpopular meme though, so unpopular you may not be able to see it.

Journalism is, but I’m not sure for-profit journalism is.

Any more that for-profit healthcare or housing is.
