That's right. Seems my-hero 's current culture war fixations have made him sufficiently less interested in his older bullshit promises.

He will grift on, but seems he's losing interested in the space grift. He's posting cringe Gambo "AI" videos showing Gambo's favorite objectified SV victim and mistreated actress being a DJ at a Gambo-setting dance party instead (not linking that shit, look for it if you dare).

The light of consciousness may not extend to the stars within his lifetime by his own admission, which means if it ever does it won't include his dim smoldering light nor will it be his bigoted and emotionally poisonous consciousness. sicko-wholesome

    I did slip, I admit, because I was so drained and disgusted by watching the "AI" video, specifically because one of the richest, most connected, and most protected men in the world at the top of capitalism's burning heap of wasted resources and human suffering is giggling like a spoiled child because the treat printer can make Emilia Clarke amuse him against her will... not unlike the trust fund failsons that did the same to her on set, giggling at her actual distress on set during those le epic SV scenes that were only slightly aged up from the book's context to begin with, driven by misleading contract stipulations that she argued against after she was coerced into compliance... only to have her character effectively character assassinated (then actually assassinated) by those same trust fund failsons in a petty punitive way later in the show's run for resisting their demands for more amusement against her will at her expense.

    TL;DR: I am too drained and tired at this moment to repeat that particular emoji sequence while seeing the ongoing cultural ripples of that fucking show stoked by treat hogs like ELO~N.

      le epic SV scenes that were only slightly aged up from the book's context to begin with

      The first rape scene wasn't even in the book, it was originally written as "consensual"

        I know.

        Age of consent issues aside (which were clearly not sided as much as highlighted for titillation purposes from the author, but I digress), that's part of why I really, really hate the two trust fund failsons that ran that show.
