Memes of the moment

 

Gray rock treatment

Imagine being such a raving narcissist, that you try and persuade Xi Jinping that you in fact aren't an overweight umpa lumpa. 

I saw some footage of Mamdani listing to his "I'm great" blather, and then he just says lets walk over here. He gives off such a king without any clothes vibe. I'm pretty sure Xi Jinping gives him the gray rock treatment. Without enthusiasm, "yea, that's really great." Jinping files it under sinking wannabe dictator like me. China's constitution was amended to remove the two-term limit on the presidency, enabling Xi to maintain rule indefinitely. Trump is going to try that move if we don't impeach him soon. Media, internet access, and civil society are heavily censored in China, and political rivals or dissidents face systematic suppression and anti-corruption purges. I bet Jinping sees a lot of himself in Trump, they are great friends like Trump will imagine. Political scientists often prefer terms like authoritarian ruler or autocrat rather than "dictator."

Someone was obsessed with 9/11 on Reddit, and I thought this response was too sarcastic to put online:

(Read with an ominous narrator voice) Everything changed that day. If you could fly airplanes into buildings, what else could you do? Did people feel weird after the Vietnam war? Did everyone feel different after the Revolutionary War? Did everyone feel different after that building was blown up in Oklahoma City by an indigenous wacko? Every moment is a new moment, and an opportunity to embrace your circumstances. You could work in a really cool building and then crazy stuff like this could happen. It doesn't happen every day or every month, or every year, every decade even. It was a pretty dramatic event 24 years ago if you lived in NYC. Most people don't consider NYC even part of America, for ideological reasons. In the religious south they see it more like Sodom and Gomorrah. Some people see the east coast corridor as what's wrong with America, we should listen to the farmers instead of those people. There's all kinds of wacky ways of seeing America. Israel has launched a war to wipe out Gaza based on half the amount of deaths as 9/11. It's making people hate Ed Sheeran, his family doesn't like him anymore, the poor bloke. People should be able to suck up to Zionists without repercussions, this war is about survival, so they have to kill a lot of little children.

Memes about the destruction of America

 "If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor." -Desmond Tutu

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Macklemore, Ed Sheeran, Robert Kraft

Ms. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez articulates the issue really well with Ed Sheeran, and places it more on Robert Kraft. (Reddit) She sees it complexly, sees how Sheeran might have financial penalties to back out of the concert. She is more concerned about the oligarchy censorship, which is weird because I'm going to go listen to Macklemore now (spotify: Can't Hold Us). 

The issue she highlighted was these oligarchs canceling Macklemore because he advocates Palestinian causes. I find it so weird that an opinion about some issue far away, can lead to someone's canceling.

I didn't know Kraft's father wanted him to become a rabbi, and that they were Jewish. I just know him for being caught at an illegal prostitution ring of massage parlors in Florida (one of many sources). He's also in the Epstein files. Ed Sheeran played at his wedding to a woman 33 years his junior. 

I don't really like Spotify, but I haven't boycotted them yet, but I'm going to quit them soon. I read further:

CEO Daniel Ek’s major investments in Helsing, an artificial intelligence defense and military technology company, alongside controversies regarding low artist payouts and advertising choices.

In fact I'm going to quit my account now after I listen to a lot of Macklemore. I could save the monthly money.
