        Dune is my favorite overall work of literature and Grimes’ ignorant blue curtained fangirling over it hurts that somewhat.

      “What if magic software waifu that is also an elf for reasons” became “what if I am magic software waifu that is also an elf for reasons.” She’s terminal stage “pickme” for techbros.

    god she’s so fucking stupid. the problem with space tech progress is the stupid regulations discouraging you from “killing civilians” and “wasting billions of dollars blowing up glorified bombs on the launchpad” and not the idiot manchild we have instead of a semi competent team of white nasa engineers and a large team of black women who could actually do math quickly. For sure.

      The ruling class (which Grimes is associated with) is a bunch of ignorant clowns burning down the circus tent that we’re all trapped in.

      There’s no master plan. There aren’t many masterminds with meaningful reach, either. That, in some ways, is scarier than if our potential doom was intentional. What we’re facing is hubris piled upon hubris by manchildren with escapist power fantasies that get bored and want insatiably more praise and ever-bigger dopamine hits.

      Considering that, according to both of them, the magic pick up line that got Grimes interested in him was about dae le epic Roko’s Basilisk (you know, the prophecy of the time traveling robot god of the future that will surely punish anyone aware of its future existence by making thousands, millions, or billions of “perfect” simulations of the nonbelievers and torturing them for eternity because the robot god of the future is a petty sadistic torture-enjoying creep like the techbros that believe in it big-yud ) and he was super awooga in turn because the feeemale knew the le epic reference. cringe

        Roko himself is also a creep. Can’t cite examples, but it’s come up from his twitter account and I’m sure some of the fine folks at r/sneerclub have documented it.

          “Roko” is a sex pest weeb with a long history of being a sex pest weeb. It’d actually be exhausting to dig around for any specific distinctive example because most of what he posts is sex pest weeb shit. It’s like finding a specific example of Trump lying.

    Such incredibly cogent political analysis: The real swing voters are single-issue space deregulation voters.

      my-hero monopolizes the bazinga vote so I suppose Grimes is offering Blue Bazinga to oppose Red Bazinga, sort of like Red MAGA vs Blue MAGA with a similar dubious lack of appeal for the hogs into the original flavor.

    Hear me out guys, rockets go really fast right? So what if someone put some kind of a weapon on the end of a rocket, you could send that weapon somewhere far away really quickly! Has anyone thought of this before? And some bombs are like, really really big right? I’m not a expert, so I can’t believe I have to be the one to point this out.

    Oh man, if China figures this out, it’ll change everything. Let Elon do whatever he wants to keep that from happening.

      Some time ago, quite a few months actually, Grimes was tweeting her intention to “die on Mars” in a feverish-sounding culty way.

      She’s cooked enough on her own, and if her account is taken over, she’d make noise about that unless she is still convinced that she is a figment of her abusive ex’s imagination and just a construct of his mind, which she also tweeted about.

      Yup, real grifter vibes from her for her entire career

      From poverty cosplay to shilling NFTs, I’m surprised she’s not still with Musk

    it’s p easy for a foreign power to secure control over low earth orbit and destroy any enemy launch who tries to compete or poss even assassinate targets with regular projectiles
