As I write this, the top post in the “hot” tab on r/pics is a picture of Oliver flipping the double bird next to an image of Huffman. On r/gifs, it’s a GIF of Oliver hitting a table and saying “go fuck yourself” next to an image of the Reddit logo.

As I write this, John Oliver's Twitter is posting a bunch of pics of himself telling /r/pics to "have at it"

we can rest assured that John Oliver is collecting all the sexy pics people photoshop/post and is going to put together a Last Week Tonight episode on this, once the strike is over.

John Oliver always likes to stick it to the big guy in the fight which I find hilarious, I wish Last Week Tonight was on the air so we could hear his takes.

I love this! I have a tiny sub but I'm doing this!!!!

[–] Bipta@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I closed my tiny subs. Reddit won't be able to find mods for them all.

[–] v13@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

I had closed mine too, but the Oliver thing seems too good to pass up. Once a day, every day I will post John Oliver pic. Just to be snotty.

Nitter link, for those who would rather avoid Twitter:

Hmm. Probably could benefit from a bot to auto-post those in response to Twitter links. Human time being valuable and all that.

People could use this Browser addon https://libredirect.github.io/ it also works on mobile if you use firefox/fennec

Until the API changes at the end of the month.

Oh, no, I mean a bot here in the Fediverse, rather than on Reddit.
