"Your mom is so Berkeley": Techies & Fear Porn arrive at the capital of Free Speech
I no longer have to travel to the ends of the earth in order to report
on the news. Sadly, the news now reports to me. I don't even have to
get on an airplane. News is no longer happening in far away places any
more. News is now happening right down the street. Fear porn has
arrived in Berkeley, California.
Back in the 1960s, Berkeley used to be home of the Free Speech Movement.
People demanding free speech? That was big news. And then it wasn't.
Once again, people started believing everything they read in the newspapers. I
had to travel to Iraq or North Korea or Honduras or Uganda or Syria to get a
good story. But now the Big Stories are right back here in Berkeley.
Here are some of our latest "Your mom is so Berkeley" jokes -- except that they aren't funny any more.
"Your mom is so Berkeley that she now works for both FaceBook and
Google, lives in a tiny little house below San Pablo
Avenue that cost one million dollars two years ago and is so afraid of a
virus with a 0.07% death rate that, even after 500 days in forced
lock-down, she still wears her face mask to bed every night.
"Your mom is so Berkeley that she only works from home, never leaves
her house, has her groceries delivered by Amazon, thinks that Dr. Fasci
is a saint and not just a tool of Big Pharma, believes that if getting
one Shot will keep her safe, then getting three or five Shots will keep
her even safer, and strongly believes that Joe Biden never has a Senior
Moment where he misplaces his car keys and the nuclear football.
"Your mom is so Berkeley that she believes everything she is told on the evening news."
