Indeed, Cicero. Brain-to-keyboard interface failure.
Keyboard delenda est!
Exactly the source of the problem. Both grumpy Roman orators, both names start with C, end with o, and rhyme.

"Not now, Cato!"
This makes me think of Zuckerberg's Caesar style hairdo.
I'm not completely sure that I understand the meme's purpose - I'm sure many men and women think about the Roman Empire (Mary Beard is a salient example of a woman scholar who probably thinks about the Roman empire constantly).
As for me, I read Seneca, so that's pretty Roman empire. Otherwise, I read about the Cynics, who are more Greek, but they were closer to the Roman Empire temporally than I will ever be. So, I admit I think about ancient Rome quite a bit.

Recently an “influencer” I check talked about how none of the men in her life think about Rome and things Roman because…they are Jewish (?)
Were it not for this thread I would not understand what the hell she was talking about.
