Another great bit here:
“Grimes also says that she and Musk plan to have more kids. As for the cognitive dissonance of a once-leftist artist being in a relationship with the world’s richest man, Grimes gets philosophical:”
I mean, when people say I’m a class traitor that is not… an inaccurate description. I was deeply from the far left and I converted to being essentially a capitalist Democrat. A lot of people are understandably upset… But at the same time, like, bro wouldn’t even get a new mattress… Bro does not live like a billionaire. Bro lives at times below the poverty line. To the point where I was like, can we not live in a very insecure $40,000 house? Where the neighbors, like, film us, and there’s no security, and I’m eating peanut butter for eight days in a row?
Marx failed to consider a rich guy who has an old bed.
Bro lives at times below the poverty line.
I don't think Grimes understands the meaning of those words.
I’m sure she makes enough money from her music career that she can afford a comfortable life. She just wants more than comfort, her eyes lit up with $$ signs when she realized she could be the manic pixie dream girl for a dumbass Redditor and never have to work another day in her life
Poverty is when your boyfriend is too self-centered to pay someone to go to the store for him and his family. Also apparently we lost our chance to Minecraft Musk
i love how obvious it is that grimes named both kids because musk explicitly does not care about his kids and doesn't intend to be present in their lives, which is probably the best thing he could do for them
I remember when eccentric artists gave their kids actually cool weird names like Dweezil and Moon Unit.
Proposal: a collective of nonbinary people with nouns as their names (Winter, Moss, Moon etc.) is referred to as a Moon Unit.
Referring to the father of your children as "bro" in the third person. Super normal
hah, the article has an update that says:
bit of fact checking: I am not a capitalist democrat. I don’t ascribe to any political party or economic model that currently exists
yeah, I actually only follow ideologies that haven't been invented yet :galaxy-brain:
also
Me and E have broken up again since the writing of this article haha, but he’s my best friend and the love of my life, and my life and art are forever dedicated to The Mission now
Look how do we get Grimes the writings of J Posadas? It’ll blow her mind.
no one let Musk anywhere near any text pro nuclear war. He'll decide to lobby for it just to look smart
Remember when Trump did a state-violence parade so he could stand in front of a church and be photographed holding a bible upside-down? Was that inspired by Grimes' Communist Manifesto stunt, or vice-versa?
"Me and E have broken up again since the writing of this article haha, but he’s my best friend and the love of my life, and my life and art are forever dedicated to The Mission now"
:desolate:
This is what we're destroying our planet and killing everyone in it for
Sideræl
Ræl
From the Norwegian academy's dictionary
Ræl;Noun
Something of low quality, worth;scrap
:melon-musk: "Yeah, this is my child, Sidescrap"
Still funny that they didn't check what the fancy letter in the child's name could mean when slapped on there like that. "Ooops, accidentally named my kid 'garbage' in another language which I specifically loaned a letter from :shrug-outta-hecks:"
She is of French Canadian (including Québécois), Italian, and Ukrainian descent
No wonder Hexbear hates her so much.
Yeah a "Italian" "French" AND "canadian" sheesh we couldn't created a more vile combination of human if we tried over at Hexbear biolabs™
No no but it's ok because she says Musk is lazy and disheveled and owns an old mattress, so he's just like us disgusting unwashed proles, so it's only kind of class betrayal
Also I believe Grimes grew up comfortably upper middle class as the daughter of some kind of noteworthy music professors. She also claimed to eat nothing but spaghetti for three years?
Why is the world like this
No no but it’s ok because she says Musk is lazy and disheveled and owns an old mattress, so he’s just like us disgusting unwashed proles, so it’s only kind of class betrayal
Who knew Elon Musk was a hot couch guy? What are the odds that the mentioned mattress lied on the floor with no headboard too?
she was raised by PMC parents, lived the wook life for a bit, then decided to have an indie pop career. she's not lying.
nobody mentioned the WORST part of the whole thing:
"We keep having this conversation where E’s like, “Are you real? Or are we living in my memory, and you’re like a synthesized companion that was created to be my companion here?”… The degree to which I feel engineered to have been this, like, perfect companion is crazy… Even just studying astrophysics and neuroscience. And it’s really annoying because people think I’m an airhead who went to art school."
the neural damage this position and the entire presupposition of it and the fact that she ACTUALLY RELEASED SONGS about this idea publicly with no shame :agony-minion:
when posthuman feminism is actually redefining the entire constitution of femininity to cater atomically to the male gaze :agony-deep:
“We keep having this conversation where E’s like, “Are you real? Or are we living in my memory, and you’re like a synthesized companion that was created to be my companion here?”
sounds like shit a normal sane guy would say.
It's a large part of why I hate "simulation theory" bloviating so much. It's a favorite hobby for bored techbro vampires, and it lets them pretend everyone else is just NPCs in their destroy the planet speedrun.
wtf am I looking at lmao
:jesse-wtf: IS THIS REAL
:jesse-wtf:
:jesse-wtf:
Sideræl—“sigh-deer-ee-el”—which she calls “a more elven” spelling of sidereal,
Danish people are not elves, Claire, we're real humans with jobs and dreams, Claire.
The name is gibberish and it doesn't sound elvish at all. To me it sounds more like an obscure antiquated West Jutlandic fisherman's term for something on a boat.
sidereal means you use the distant stars as reference for time, rather than the solar reference. It's useful for astronomy mostly since the same object at the same sidereal datetime will be in the same place, whereas in solar time they move around a bit.
Also:
It’s also a nod to her favorite Lord Of The Rings character, the powerful Galadriel, who “chooses to abdicate the ring.”
Like, is this saying they're going with even the most extreme version of the "firstborn son" inheritance strategy and that this kid ain't gonna get any of the billions, or what? LMFAO.
Also, nerd rant: Gandalf, Elrond, and Bombadil also all "abdicated the ring". It was a pretty common theme for everyone outside of the idiots from Gondor to do that (credit to Faramir, who also rejected the temptation to go for it). So, like, okay: Galadriel was cool and the only prominent woman among the "great ones" from the main books, but picking her out specifically for the fact that she "abdicated the ring" is a pretty dumb. Obviously Grimes' "care-
freenot-at-all" attitude about reality extends to even the fiction she's a fan of. I really hate the phenomenon of celebrity (and private property, obviously, and when they're combined...).Turning down the Ring is the high point of Galadriel's character arc though. Like, it took her literally thousands of years, but she learned her lesson about power and ambition.
I am going to name my child Bombadil and his first words will be " Hey dol! merry dol! ring a dong dillo!"
I will buy him a St. Bernard and name it Fatty Lumpkins
real humans with jobs and dreams
Really? The only job I ever see Danes doing is day drinking.
Tumblr witches are a persecuted minority themselves so they get a free pass.
There was a :melon-musk: tweet once about how the coloreds had unhirable silly names. :agony-minion:
