I couldn't have taken enough drugs to write this timeline 20 years ago. WTF is happening? Maybe CERN did break the universe with the LHC

Harambee was our anchor being. Everything's been fraying at the edges since that day.

We had a second chance with Peanut the Squirrel. We fucked it up again.

The world really ended in 2012. We're living through the blooper reel.

He knows he's black, right?

[-] spooky2092 16 points 4 months ago

He's "one of the good ones" and rich so he's all good.

That's always worked out in the past.

[-] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago

I think he forgot that a long time ago.

What's insane is that FOX allowed this commercial to air in the first place. I'm sure someone at FOX will say "We had no idea he would put this on his site", which we'll all know is bullshit because they scrutinize the fuck out of every Super Bowl ad before it gets to air. There is a 0% chance that nobody knew about this beforehand.

At least the next Superbowl halftime show is going to be interesting:

Guys, just because he went on Alex Jones to make racist jokes and talk about how much he loves Hitler doesn't mean he's a nazi

If you see someone wearing that shirt, it is only right to deck them in the temple

Does this mean whatever payment processing center is used for his site is also pro, whatever this is?

It's shopify, which requires an account to report. So if anyone has a shopify account, please do the needful. Can probably be considered a threat of violence or terrorist organization, or both.

[-] rimu@piefed.social 31 points 4 months ago

I have an account.

When I tried to report it as terrorist organization, the form gets stuck in a redirect loop. It's broken.

Threat of violence worked but I needed to provide my full name, phone number and address which felt pretty shit.

Sometimes when someone tells you who they are, you should just believe them.

I want to but I think the Thunder filter feature is a bit aggressive. I blocked the word "US" but I realized a long while later that it was also blocking all links to my instance sh.itjust.works. I'm afraid I'll lose all titles with "yesterday" or "yes".

Sad to see that the dude's in this state. He clearly needs psychiatric care, not a platform from which to yell his absurdities.

It's like a Mel Brooks movie! The guy in charge standing with his nose in the air, says something that any normal person would think is dumb as hell. And all the "yes men" are like "Bravo!" "Bully!" "Good show!" "Excellent!"

This goes for the orange man and X dork as well...

[-] Elgenzay@lemmy.ml 12 points 4 months ago

I actually didn't know that this was legal to do in the U.S.

[-] princessnorah 13 points 4 months ago

There aren't a lot of jurisdictions in the world that ban the sale or display of the swastika (in Nazi-supporting circumstances). Australia and Germany are the only ones that come to mind, and Australia has only done so very recently (this year).

[-] RmDebArc_5@sh.itjust.works 9 points 4 months ago

Don’t forget about Austria, although I believe that won’t be for much longer as the next head of state is openly a Hitler fanboy

Anybody know what the official shop site is called? On yeezy(dot)com is only one item and that’s a white r-Shirt with a black swastika on the front.

The shop feels broken tho, because there are almost no ux elements.

Is he doing this to remain relevant?

[-] Nelots@lemm.ee 7 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

That is the official website. It's linked on the wiki page for Kanye, and Kanye has advertised it on his Insta. I thought it was fake too because it's so poorly designed. You can't even see the price of the shirt until it's in your cart.

[-] Maruki_Hurakami@lemm.ee 9 points 4 months ago

Just an attention whore seeking attention.
