is not like other people
no thanks I've got beer.
but seriously, oj didn't quite self inflict himself in the way Kanye has.
unpleasant things came to light about him perhaps but he didn't suddenly declare himself on the side of evil

If he had music worth talking about right now it would seem less damaging, maybe, but hes become someone who needs to get out of his echo chamber quite quickly.
Ever the optimist!
At that point he took the only option left open to him and joined Plaid Cymru. It's like the Welsh version of going on Infowars.

watched a bit of it. he's really sick obviously. the internet is such a degenerate thing, there's not really a way to stop something like this happening. someone is going to put him on camera to make some money. but it's taking advantage of someone who is pretty ill.

lala
i read somewhere recently that twitter shapes personailities into this male brattish obnoxious display - Ye, Trump and Musk were the exmples cited of men who used to have more interesting personalities, or at least some nuanced individualism in their exhibitionism, Trump the salesman, Ye the messiah, Musk the technerd
but they have become tedious and undifferentiated brats in the same mould

how do you think it will happen, droid? suicide? I don't think he's into drugs, so OD seems unlikely.

bandz ahoy
Do you think that him aligning himself with (or being aligned with) these right-wing grifters/nutjobs/cunts — who probably think a lot of the outrageous things he's saying but can't say them out loud without being deplatformed — is good or bad for them?
I was sort of thinking it's good that the most prominent person they can find who agrees with them is somebody who's clearly mentally ill because it spotlights the lunacy of their ideas, but equally you could say that it makes them appear relatively sane by contrast (everyone's observed "if you're making Alex Jones look normal...") that might help legitimise them as the voice of racist reason.
This is all to leave aside the disturbing and depressing spectacle of somebody completely losing their mind in public without anything to stop them spiralling.
