they just can’t help themselves from being weird

before you ask: i was trying to spell them phonetically for screen readers. If that goes against accepted standards for alt-text, please let me know!

Eh, it made me laugh 🤷 and it spreads the word about the incoherent stuff coming out of Trump’s mouth, because there’s always an ignorant middle that doesn’t watch debates or read the news.

I think this Vulture article sums up the veracity of the Scientology claims. Cedric Bixler-Zavala’s accusation included the allegation that she is a true-blooded Scientologist, and she has yet to deny it. By my estimation, Scientology is an ugly (if not evil) organization using the veil of freedom of religion to deflect any criticism of its predatory and abusive practices. Armstrong really does have an excellent voice for this role, but I refuse to support anyone who participates in that shit.

She posted a note to refute the Danny Masterson connection, yet she pointedly ignored the scientology allegation. I think I land in the same place as @harrys_balzac@lemmy.dbzer0.com on this one. Until she publicly refutes the Scientology connection, I don’t want anything to do with a Linkin Park that includes her.

So what to make of the Scientology links, then? And the whole thing where she doesn’t “believe in” mental illness? If her statement is true, then she has dodged the most disgusting allegations, but idek if u can trust that it is true.

Butterbee where are you in the Jokes and Humor sub. These are great!

Good luck with your little one!

From the article:

the role of monarch is not hereditary: The successor is determined by tribal representatives from across the nation.

The ceremonies took place in Tūrangawaewae Marae on the North Island, which is the seat of the Maori King movement.

The political institution developed in the 1850s, when Maori tribes decided to unify under a single sovereign in the face of an influx of British settlers and demand for their land, as well as broader political marginalization.

Today the role of the Maori monarch is largely symbolic. As a former British colony and current member of the British Commonwealth, New Zealand’s official monarch is King Charles.

So I don’t think this is monarchy in the way that you are thinking. The “Maori Monarch” is more of a political leader than anything, so in a US context, it’s kind of like the NAACP selecting a new president.

“One of the most important things we need to do as a country as we begin to rebuild our politics is we need to elect serious people,”
