Kim goes on a diet.
The US media: Kim is dying, what does this mean for North Korea?
I take full credit for pushing this emote as the default response/self-congratulatory emote for exceptionally good puns.
Nooooo he lost weight because he died, twice! NYT wrote about it!
I saw a version of this story week ago or so and the line they ran with was literally communism no food lol. Like “if Kim is starving what does it mean for the citizens?”
I love how it's perfectly fair to call something state media news but not to call something corporate news
The actual concern here is that the DPRK may have developed its own version of photoshop, but ofc the media would omit that part to avoid a public panic.
Pretty sure he was seriously ill last year when the media was reporting him dead (remember that?) so this makes sense
