literally right at the bottom of that article:quote:UPDATE: Several eye doctors confirmed to Salon that this type of surgery isn’t medically possible. It was all a joke, people! but honestly it says a whole about grimes that she said something that batshit and folks just nodded along like "yup that sounds like something you'd do"

The eye surgery is whatever, the real question is why did adidas decide to partner with her. Are they pushing some all spaghetti diet now?

Grimes is absolutely an insane techno princess out of a William Gibson novel, which is why the eye surgery story is like “yeah that could happen” because she’s always out there wilding. And that’s utter catnip to Elon. He wants to think he’s an impulsive creative tech genius. He’s not; he’s incapable of even the mildest trailblazing and has no ability to gauge what is or isn’t a good idea. The only thing he can do is show up right after the real inventors make their move and try to take some or all of the credit.

Elon does seem to have it figured out that by being a massive prick in every instance you can get a lot of free publicity and almost never face any real consequences.

It's wild how effective the strategy of just topping your bullshit day by day is. Makes me think a lot of what held back psychos with too much money and power in history was largely self-regulated, some desire to be seen as good or important or other positive attributes to others or to history in a way some of these new freaks don't care about at all.

Yeah Trump also showed a lot that if someone just has zero shame and has people who will implement their wishes how far it can go. I think elon is just following his lead. Once again just sponging off someone else.

Hardcastlemccormik posted:Grimes is absolutely an insane techno princess out of a William Gibson novel, which is why the eye surgery story is like “yeah that could happen” because she’s always out there wilding. I wonder if this is why, consciously or not, Musk really seemed to crack when they split up? He and Grimes were perfect for each other in so many ways - both a special sort of stupid, both convinced they're much more intelligent and visionary than they are, both fond of making profound-seeming statements that they don't really understand and turn out to be gibberish, both make a point of refusing to listen to people who are experts or have previous experience and both come from a privileged background and so are entirely divorced from reality. And even with all that, it couldn't work and she left him. Maybe it's because, for all her being as big a weird 14-year-old mind in an adult body as he is, she has at least written some decent songs, which is more creativity and talent than Elon has ever demonstrated? Even his perfect Anime Manic Pixie Techno Elf Dream Girlfriend didn't like him. The one that he managed to attract by talking about Roko's Basilisk on twitter. Even that person ended up dumping him. That's gotta sting. E: That just reminded me of the time Elon went on twitter to reply-guy 'Well actually...  ' to Grimes - the mother of his newborn child - when she got the type of plane the kid was named after wrong. Lol

What the gently caress is with social media taking existing phrases and loving them up? Repost means to take something and post it fresh, usually claiming it's yours. That's a phrase. That's a phrase that's been around forever. Threads have been a thing since forums and beyond, and now we get social media trying to call itself "threads." I remember when I was 5 and I was like "Wow... you know what would be a cool name for a skeleton? Boner! I'm gonna draw a skeleton named Boner!" They're doing that. They're all doing that. Get ready for my new chat program: DMs! Who wants to join my new social media network, Likes? FlocksOfMice fucked around with this message at 17:43 on Jul 29, 2023 |

The janky-rear end assembly looks super improvised. What in hell are those LED modules they've made the sign from? they don't look like any signage LED module I've ever seen. The bulk and depth of the modules looks high powered. The video shows how absurdly bright they are, completely inappropriate for inner-city signage.

Elon unbanning Kanye today is obviously a way to get headlines and get people on his platform, but will people care? I hope not. I also hope advertisers finally see this as a reason to leave for good. I think the hardest part is the alternatives aren’t fully cooked yet , but with X being a complete poo poo show now I really hope the great migration happens sooner than later.

As for the alternatives, I keep waiting for Bluesky or Threads to step up and really start competing with Twitter, but it hasn't happened yet. I'm starting to get the impression that Bluesky and Threads don't actually want to be alternatives to Twitter. DaveWoo fucked around with this message at 18:09 on Jul 29, 2023 |

Sockser posted:$40 truck LED bars from Amazon, just like 50 of them nah, the shape is wrong. Too deep. I'm thinking those are DMX stage lights. The erector set scaffold and the lights probably came from the same stage equipment rental place. Not from a commercial sign maker; they would have been able to form the logo shape exactly from sheet metal and CNC or lasercut plastics. This is some kind of janky-rear end improvisation put together with very little preparation, and you can see they can only approximate the logo shape because the block sizes don't fit.

OneEightHundred posted:Flashing signs are also illegal just about everywhere so they're almost certainly going to get fined by the city. Signs are super regulated on lighting, the church I went to as a kid was declined a permit to build one of those bright programmable scrolling signs because it was too close to a neighborhood. And this was even in a red state.
