Discussions on difficult subjects

You know, I admire Andy Kaufman and all of his crazy audaciousness, but I'm starting to wonder if there is parallels between Kanye and Andy. Obviously Kanye has taken it to a whole new level with his seemingly endless supply of cash, but is this the shtick. Or, is he without a doubt an absolute sociopath and mentally ill?

Considering Musk's original X.com from 1999 was "an online hub for every kind of financial transaction in the world", a business that subsequenty changed its name to Paypal(!) after he was overthrown as CEO. It makes you wonder if his main reason for buying Twitter was to eventually turn it into... a successful payment hub called X.com.

I always thought Kaufman just trolled as hard as he could, just to stir shit up.
Kanye seems genuinely mentally disturbed.
There was a method to  Kaufman's antics, there is just almost stream-of-conscience with Kanye.

Happy Valentines Day

Happy Valentines Day

Difficult to hit "Like" on that...
The Metro Newspaper claims today that fires are "still raging inside the 'sarcophagus' of the exploded fourth nuclear reactor at Chernobyl".

[ThePumisher]

Mankind will have fun with that sarcophagus the next hundreds years until a new one has to be build - so there are al lot of "happy valentines" in that time (except maybe a world war or the climate crisis wipes us all from the surface of this planet). And then there's the 40% of the exclusion zone that will be radiated for the next 24.000 years...

Chernobyl radiation shield hit by Russian drone, Ukraine says

Will there be any evidence to confirm this?
Constant drone strikes on civil infrastructure - the handwriting of others..
Maybe someone wants to disrupt the peace talks?

[Bosco]

I don't think the public will ever have access to proof unfortunately. Even if we do, we live in a misinformation age where "truth" is twisted.

I personally hate the false flag theory, but cant deny that it's possible.

Horribly dangerous tactic for whomever is responsible. Unfortunately, the world is lacking trustworthy leadership everywhere.
