Zuck is shorter than average and I honestly can't blame him for being insecure about it. I'll save the mockery for Musk, who is probably around 6'1" and rounds up to 6'2", but still wears platform shoes and absolutely will not stay still for a full body picture unless he can step closer to the camera or otherwise use forced perspective to look way taller than everyone else

All that said, the way height is treated in western culture is a significant thing when it comes to toxic masculinity and is one of the many things that we need to get past.

Agreed. First step: making it illegal for women to put height requirements on their Tinder profiles.

It's funny because on some level I parsed Musk as a little guy. I think it's the insecurity

Trump was going to force ByteDance to divest of the US TikTok operations to Oracle of all entities and was within a week or so of completion of the project solely because teens sabotaged a Trump rally in Missouri. The Treasury Department never approved the sale and the Trump administration just forgot about it as deadline came and went (probably due to the election being about a month out).

oh yeah he's also one of the wealthiest, most powerful men in the world. Him giving the slightest poo poo about his height is pathetic

Tulsa! Why did I think it was Missouri?

I just found it weird that a man driven entirely by ego and spite didn't have the follow through for revenge. Sadly I find it more relatable to have laziness as one's dominant trait.

so I live near Tulsa and that entire rally was hilarious in hindsight

People were seriously scared in the lead-up to it, everyone was absolutely positive there was going to be violence. basically every business in downtown Tulsa was not just closed, but boarded up, and regional gas station chain QuikTrip went one step further and barricaded their parking lots. Absolutely no one local was looking forward to the rally, even local Trump supporters were calling it irresponsible.

as the time got closer and closer the Trumpers descended. The thing that really got me was that they were all from out of town - Tulsa is a pretty red city so you’d think there would be some locals, but no, what we got was a bunch of out-of-towners descending on the city and setting up illegal encampments on the streets around the convention center. Rather than clear out these encampments, like they had just done with homeless encampments for miles around, the police guarded them and blocked off the streets they were on. The Trumpers got into a bunch of fights with locals and absolutely trashed downtown, leaving piles of garbage, discarded camping equipment, and human waste everywhere. It’s still so bizarre to me because even the most disorganized homeless encampment usually has a specific area where people use the bathroom, I had never seen people just drop trou and poo poo right outside their tents until that rally.

Following the rally attendees, in numbers equal or greater than them, were pop-up store entrepreneurs who set up stands in every available space, selling them poo poo. Punisher skull merch, thin blue line merch, MAGA merch, think of a right-wing slogan or symbol and there were at least two or three pop-up stores trying to sell it on a hat, flag, T-shirt, or coffee mug. There were so many of them it made the rally look way bigger than it actually was.

So about that. The day of the rally came and people were tense. The local cops had been reinforced by the US Marshals and the military, there were huge fences erected around the arena, troops everywhere, thousands of counterprotesters. It started, and it wasn’t even half full. Hardly anyone attended the drat thing. They resorted to packing people in on the front rows to make the crowd look larger. It ended up being way shorter than intended, and when it did end the few attendees exited the arena and...left. There was no confrontation with counterprotesters, no march, no afterparty, they piled into their trucks and RVs and charter buses and loving ran away. Thousands of locals had assembled to try to stop them from trashing our city and they were so scared that they didn’t even try to confront them in an organized way. They just left.

At one point a few friends and I, who had been distributing water to people, were heading back to our staging area to resupply, get snacks, and rest. We were masked but not in bloc or anything like that, just dressed in regular clothes, and I remember the mood being really chill, talking, laughing. Ahead of us on the sidewalk were a couple older ladies in MAGA apparel, and at one point they turned around and looked at us, screamed ‘OH MY GOD THEY’RE RIGHT OVER THERE!’, and ran away down an alley. I guess they thought we were antifas? It’s still one of the strangest things I’ve ever had happen to me.

Anyway, when they left, the crowd was still there and everyone still had a bunch of energy, so it ended up turning into a spontaneous block party, which was pretty nice. It had more attendees than the rally and somehow still managed to leave less trash on the streets.

I wonder how many people that show up at Trump rallies anymore (or even in the past few years) are just the same set of Grateful Dead style groupies whose entire life are just going to those things

The DoD does have script supervision when they lend out their assets or IP. How often they exercise that right is unknowable to those outside the process - but it definitely happens

TBH it wouldn't surprise me if they actually are extremely lenient and just figure that even if the movie takes a few shots at the military people are mostly going to be walking away thinking it was loving cool when those helicopters blew that poo poo up.

I think people assume it's heavy handed because of stuff like the Transformers movies where they suck off the military at every opportunity but that's just Michael Bay being in love with troops.
