    On a side note, as a Wisconsin guy I can’t read “brat” as anything other than short for bratwurst and this whole meme is really messing with me

      I remember reading something years ago about the Wisconsin Brat Festival and thinking for a moment that it was about spoiled children

    One look at this and I’m glad I don’t know what’s going on with it

      top-cop + israel-cool + kamala-coconut-tree + cat-vibing

      There are enough layers that it’s hard to capture all of it in three or fewer hieroglyphics

    I remember when calling someone a coconut meant that they were black on the outside and white in the middle. Kind of like a black person who fights to maintain the racist status quo.

    Interesting that ms Harris is leaning into this symbol.

    I’m afraid to ask what the “brat” is about.

      Charli XCX

      Edit: I’m aware that I haven’t helped with this post so I’ll expand.
      Charli is a pop singer. Brat is her new album. It’s really good and has taken off as a cultural moment kind of thing, so stuff like “X is brat” or “Y is so julia” are memes that are incomprehensible to anyone who isn’t into this level of eternally online alt-pop culture

        The album cover is like a lime green square jpeg with brat in lowercase and a lot of jpeg artifacting

        Something being “brat” is now a meme adjective for good
