also can we please push back against people who present news in this form?

Regardless of whether it's true or not, it's bad that we normalize putting claims on an image and sharing it for people to react to without citing any kind of actual source.

(also, it's not even a proper meme)

I think this is supposed to be a jab/eye roll between people who are already in the know about the situation rather than the dissemination of information.

However, I am also uninformed about this and now have to go hunting. Wish a news link was provided alongside memes. Like old PennyArcade comics. Is that still a thing? Crap now I have two things I have to do.
