With this and the ufo demon thing, the conspiracy nuts must begetting too riled up and are being fed new distractions.

Link to full performance, kind of reminds me of a mix of Claypool and King Gizzard (meets Adventure Time).

Every single action the Bluesky team makes shows just how out of touch with and openly hostile to their user base the heads are.

Only if they felt bound by consistency and precedence, which they have repeatedly shown they do not.

That pop culture part is something I’ve really noticed as well. A while ago I saw someone talking about how the younger generations are no longer being allowed to have a future, and that was an aspect of the point they were making. Beyond just politicians and senior level positions not being passed on to the next wave of people, there is a progression of culture that isn’t being allowed to move on to the next generation.

Yep, gonna launch a stealth drone attack on California from two oceans away.

I think it’s a form of loyalty test for them for sure, but also I really do think it comes it down to him being that vain. One of the first things he did after confirmation was have a makeup studio installed. Guarantee an hour or more of his day is spent in front of a mirror, every day.

Armchair psychologist: Things aren’t going as planned in Iran, and he feels like he looks like a fool for it, so he’s lashing out and attacking the media for making him look bad.

The weird thing is they weren’t even bad pictures of him. Like, he looks like a douchebag who would use terms like ‘warfighter’ instead of just saying soldier, but the photos were just him. It’s not like the Vanity Fair photos that purposefully focused on the lip injection wounds, etc.

That whole album is fantastic; RIP Jason Molina.

Out of all the corporations, Costco is probably the only one I’d have any faith in making it right for their customers.

Wouldn’t be the least bit surprised to find out Elon still does the ‘yeah baby yeah!’

The Private Eye by Brian K Vaughn used that as a premise (set in 2076) for a comic run about a decade ago.

As someone with anosmia, I can confirm my farts don’t smell.

I’m sure it’ll be another right-wing crazy, just like all the others have been. The fact that they haven’t tried to jump in front of it calling the guy a radical leftist means he was probably still wearing his maga gear when it happened.

They don’t seem to understand that firing up al of this puts everyone in danger, including them. Of course, having a dedicated secret service to protect you helps, but that branch is far from perfect.

He did do this during the first term. There wasn’t anything interesting, but it did distract the conspiracy folks.
