Howdy Ags,

This is the Turning Point USA Chapter at Texas A&M. We are excited to announce that the Babylon Bee is coming to Texas A&M University March 24th at 8pm. Originally the location is the MSC Room 2404, but due to the high number of RSVP's we may change to a bigger room/venue to hold everyone! The keynote speaker is Seth Dillon, the CEO of the Bee. Come for free merch, many laughs, and being able to meet the mastermind behind the Babylon Bee! More information on the Turning Point @ Texas A&M Instagram and under the "Politics thread" on TexAgs.

Tickets are free and accessible here : https://www.eventbrite.com/e/seth-dillon-coming-to-texas-am-tickets-257078096507

P.S If you haven't already known there is a NEW Satire Site for Aggies called @thebabylonag. Go give them your support and a follow!

Keep Satire Legal at TAMU,

Daniel Pate | President
Turning Point USA at Texas A&M

It will basically be the CEO of the Babylon Bee talking about the Bee, censorship, and satire through the years. It will be a speaker format. This event is non partisan so all are welcome.

Noted. Thank you for your comment @bowSowy. It is called promoting an event, first of all. And secondly we and several accounts have been promoting this event simultaneously. If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to reach out!

I probably wouldn't go to this as a student, but there is nothing wrong with using Texags to get the info out.

Bumping the thread on your behalf!

Disregard the butthurt libs, OP. This board is full of them, and they can't stand any thought that differs from their own.

We are just trying to get the word out. Buying ads is the easy way out and defeats the purpose of running a student organization with limited funds.

Limited funds? Sounds like y'all need to pull up your bootstraps and get to work! (this is satire, don't take offense)

I'm not even a huge fan of the Bee myself, but it's obviously a current student trying to promote a campus event. Nothing wrong with that.

I remember when the Babylon Bee was Christian satire and used to be funny.

It is still pretty heavily Christian Satire.

You proved his point. Those posts are fantastic satirical takes on what libs think true conservatives find funny.

Yeah, the conflation that owning the libs equals Christian satire is pretty apparent. And looking back on the Bee's history, it's easy to see when that turn was taken.

That one was funny.

The Chevy avalanche one is just wierd. Why take a swipe at a truck that hasn't been made in 9 or 10 years. Especially when your readers are probably driving SUVs that they call trucks and most 1/2 pick ups are basically the same thing as an avalanche minus the retractable rear window (4 door short bed 1/2 ton truck).

Understandable. But the Bee has allowed for satire to be legal once more.. or at least funny again.

As someone that only ever reads Bee headlines when I run across them on places like Texags...I don't think that link is nearly as convincing of whatever point you think you're making as you seem to think it is, and if you think anything you're saying is crossing into Poe's Law territory that says more about your mindset than any substance presented.

Just as a contrast to when it used to be clever and humorous (rather than pandering and unimaginative), I'm pulling from March 2016. You'll see the focus wasn't on politics:

They still do posts like that. It is just that since 2018, all the left leaning news sites became hate sites on Trump. So the Bee capitalized on the hypocrisy of the main stream media. The Bee has the same writers since 2016, I am not even sure that Seth Dillon even makes those new posts.
