George Takei :verified: 🏳️‍🌈🖖🏽
@georgetakei@universeodon.com  ·  activity timestamp 5 days ago

This is like him calling it “Truth” Social. You can put lipstick on a pig and call her Monique, but it's still a pig.

Screenshot of a White House (@WhiteH...) tweet promoting a proposed renaming of ICE to "NICE AGENTS" — standing for National Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The embedded image is a vintage-style propaganda poster showing a uniformed agent kneeling beside a young child in front of an American flag and border wall, with the text "Nice Agents — Defending Our Country."

@georgetakei I mean for what it's worth, 'nice' originally meant 'stupid'. It's from Latin 'nescius', meaning 'without knowledge'.

I'm normally not one to attribute to ignorance what can adequately be explained by malice, but if they want to go with 'NICE' I'm sure the old meaning could be resurrected.

@georgetakei Well it saves German Rail from rebranding its Inter City Express Trains (ICE), eventually.

@georgetakei

It appears 'nice' has a meaning for every occasion. I'll let Merriam-Webster explain...
https://www.merriam-webster.com/wordplay/nice-multiple-meanings

What does 'nice' mean, anyway?

'Nice' has a shocking number of meanings. Is that why it seems so meaningless?

@georgetakei Whoever is running social account for White House is a fucking teenager joke. This is government official public account and they run it like fucking influencers on Tik Tok. What the fuck is this childish bullshit? And they are obsessed with using stupid ass Ai to generate this garbage.

@georgetakei the writers for this account are stretching suspension of disbelief here.

Okay, 'George Takei' posts USpol and is therefore constantly viral, okay. And yes, most of these management companies are lazy as fuck and have one dude half-arsedly posting for 50 big names.

But like, do you guys at least try reading some of this stuff in his voice before you post? Would George Takei really say 'lipstick on a pig' and all that, or is that just basic Xitter vitriol with his face on it?
