    Brewers Blackbird of Judgement…? Possibly a Grackle of Judgement… Not a crow, but judgey for sure.

      So here’s the thing… I said a “crow is a grackle.” Is it in the same family? No. No one’s arguing that. As someone who is a scientist who studies memes, I am telling you, specifically, in science, everyone calls the Grackle of Judgement a Crow. If you want to be “specific” like you said, then you shouldn’t either. They’re not the same thing. If you’re saying “birb family” you’re referring to the taxonomic grouping of The Word, which includes things from nutcrackers to blue jays to birb is the words. So your reasoning for calling a crow a grackle is because scientist people “call the black ones grackles?” Let’s get ravens and jackdaws in there, then, too. Also, calling someone a human or an ape? It’s not one or the other, that’s not how taxonomy works. They’re both. This grackle is a crow and a member of the meme family. But that’s not what you said. You said this crow is a grackle, which is true unless you’re okay with calling all members of the crow family crows, which means you’d call blue jays, ravens, and other birds crows, too. Which you said you don’t. It’s okay to just admit you’re right, you know?
