I was tucking my dad into bed and he asks, “Have you ever heard of this Weird Al Yankovic guy?”
I was stunned into silence for a moment.
Asking someone of my generation that question is a bit like asking a Catholic if they know this “Pope fella.”
In the morning he listens to a local radio station on our Alexa speakers and I guess they played a Weird Al song and now he feels like he discovered him like some brand new music only a hipster would be aware of.
Then my dad said… “He has that song about the people that make all their own stuff. It’s great!”
Just a reminder not to publically on big websites (especially not Twitter or tik tok) say where you’re torrenting stuff from cause that’s a GREAT way to get that specific avenue shut down
rail workers aren’t “holding the country hostage”, ok. their employers who are refusing to give them paid sick leave are. literally all this “crisis” would take to fix is fucking paid sick leave. but they’re too fucking selfish and want more more more more more money. fucking hate this place
I’m not sure if people are paying attention to Kanye West’s appearance on InfoWars, but you should be.
“Why should I care what one right-wing nut job says to other right-wing nutjobs?”
BECAUSE THIS IS A REAL THING THAT HAS TANGIBLE IMPACT ON JEWISH LIVES
Kanye West denied the Shoah on the program. He said that he “loved the Nazis.” He said that he “loved Hitler.”
Yes, he is mentally ill. That does not excuse this at all- especially because this is going out to his fans.
There are more fans of Kanye West than there are Jewish people on Earth
Kanye, along with Nick Fuentes- a white supremacist- said some shit so atrocious that Alex Jones was the one trying to pull them back- an insane turn of events.
This will have an impact on Jewish people. People are going to be more antisemitic- already, antisemitic hate crimes are rising around both the United States and the world.
Listen to your Jewish friends. Listen to the people impacted by this hate speech.
the role reversals of this story!! What Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint does brilliantly is defining the difference between narrative and history. History is fixed; what happened is what happened even if no one knows the truth. There’s a subtle difference between a “true story” and whatever the events of ORV are to its characters.
THIS. All Of This. And! I have so many thoughts on the surprising amount of delicacy and nuance that went into the narrative surrounding KDJ’s mental health and growth, specifically.
