Fun how some folk still expect SNL to really take them down a notch, when they’ve been fine with letting them both host, in Chappelle’s case very recently.

They also had Trump host and tried to make him look cool during 2016.

gently caress SNL sideways.

Everytime someone refers to Elon as "Elmo" I have to figure out if a puppet lost its mind or not.

It's not even a clever insult.

same with anything related to putin such as calling putin pooty or those around him putin's bitch etc

I totally agree with this and generally think it's boomer lib poo poo.

In the Elon case though I thought people were doing it to avoid fanboys or the man himself searching for his name and dogpiling people.

If it was evasion, they could have came up with something better imo.

"Elmo" just reeks of lazy posting devoid of anything past, "Hur, hur!" It has the same strength/energy as "Brandon."

The problem with "Brandon" was it was derived from a real life event (Brandon Brown winning a NASCAR race), chuds along the fence during the winner interview chanting "gently caress Joe Biden", and Kelli Stavast of NBC Sports either mishearing it (taking it as a genuine chant) or hearing it correctly and downplaying it by saying they were chanting "Let's Go Brandon".

It's all of the above: childish name calling, a way to try to avoid the worst of the bots and stans, and autocorrect.

There's also the added bonus that Elmo on sesame street doesn't use pronouns.

The four have been charged with corruption and money-laundering. Qatar has denied wrongdoing

No he thinks he has immunity because he coughed up 2 billion in donations to both political parties. It's probably a big part of why he was walking free for as long as he was. The whole "Things got out of hand" narrative is a line he's trying to feed the public to avoid being held accountable for his actions. The whole charm offensive he has been on wasn't him being delusional, it was him trying to frame the conversation around what happened in terms that were favorable to his potential criminal case.

He spent so much time dealing with credulous crypto idiots that he thought he could just spin a yarn around a missing billion dollars and come out still on top.

I thought that was the long game with all the big crypto firms. Be located somewhere hostile to the US, be coy about if senior management really exists, and guarantee all deposits are backed by… something. Then vanish without a trace and leave your subreddit in flames.

Man, he created so much cool music, that SONG from Blue Velvet, and the one from Mullholland Drive is great too...

Friendly reminder that a ton of Lynch's collaborators are old and/or dead. Hopefully he puts out his next project soon...

It's perfectly acceptable to watch S2 up to the reveal, then skip to the last episode. Fire Walk with Me is fantastic, and Twin Peaks: The Return is amazing.
