This morning while doomscrolling I saw a headline indicating that the Department of Justice would be indicting former FBI Director James Comey "because he shared a photo of some seashells." They are alleging that the "86 47" in the photo is indicative of inciting violence against the president.
Any idiot could look up 86 in Wikipedia:
In the hospitality industry, it is used to indicate that an item is no longer available, traditionally from a food or drinks establishment, or referring to a person or people who are not welcome on the premises. Its etymology is unknown, but the term seems to have been coined in the 1920s or 1930s.
There are multiple theories re the etymology, which you can read at the link. Think of the countless hours expended by highly-paid attorneys on both sides, much of which comes at the expense of the public, and for no practical purpose. I'm so tired of this shit.
