You know, I actually met a female astronaut once who was on the space shuttle and had quite an interesting conversation with her. And real astronauts are extremely intelligent scientists who have been tested to the limits of their physical and mental fitness. But this was really not women in space. It was stupid people in space.
This was the lowest IQ space crew that has ever been launched from Earth. And she didn't even have the wit to have some writer give her lines for when she got back. She tried to make them up. It was so quiet. Yeah, you were in a soundproof space capsule, lady.
She hasn't been away that long, dude. It was 10 minutes.
That was one small step for womankind, one giant leap backwards for mankind, as far as I can see.
They are astronauts after all.
Yeah, I have. Why don't they send somebody into space who can actually come back and describe it? Well, you know, not just a journalist, but a poet or something. I mean, they went to space and we have no idea what it was like, except that it was very quiet. It was like big and stuff. Maybe Katie will write a song about it, you know. But yeah, that was a nullity.
That was a publicity stunt that probably cost more money than any in history. The Elon envy from Jeff Bezos is just absolutely, you know, conspicuous. Elon will get supermodels and a poet or something interesting for a crew. This was terrible.
No, we aren't. I didn't get to go. You didn't get to go. Matt didn't get to go. Ninety nine and ninety nine percent of the people who ever lived didn't get to go. They chose these airheads. Bring it. Send a kid into space like an eight year old kid who will actually be thrilled and impressed and come back and tell us something.
This this this girl is so this Sanchez is so spoiled that even going into space didn't impress her, you know.
Walter? Well, Democrats are going to have to be careful because I don't know how they distinguish between different sorts of violence and political violence anymore. You know, if he'd been in a Tesla or just gotten out of one, it would have been thought to be maybe commendable that someone had firebombed it. If he were Luigi and he were good looking and it actually succeeded in killing someone.
he might have been celebrated by Taylor Lorenz and people like that. As it is, he's not a very attractive or a very sane human being, and he nearly killed children. And, uh, there's nothing to do with him, but, you know, throw away the key. But we're starting to get into a world of, uh, blurred lines around violence and, uh,
And as much as I am horrified by this, and I really do feel bad for those kids, they're going to be genuinely traumatized and scared, especially because their father has ambitions in politics. But let's lay off the violence across the board or at least lay off the fandom around certain kinds of it.
Well, of course, this is all a put on. And I think, Megan, your experience in news and opinion reveals that to you, too. There were many people they could have interviewed about Luigi Mangione, but they picked Taylor Lorenz. Because she could be counted on to model this kind of goofy teenage Beatlemania Manson girl fandom that would set the Internet on fire.
CNN will set itself on fire if it can get ratings at this point. And they just did that. She got on my Twitter this morning because I made. You know, I made adequate fun of this thing. And she said, I wasn't talking about myself. These aren't my feelings. I was just observing what's going on among young women. But that's not it at all.
What she's doing is she's modeling the kind of reaction that you're now allowed to have to Luigi. Them sort of. You know, being like they're on a date, joking at the bar about something and, you know, their dating life or whatever was supposed to show America that you can be lighthearted and fun and teeny bopper about this subject. But what they had to say really didn't matter.
It was the way they said it, the way they laughed and the way. They made everyone, they gave everyone permission to sort of have this strange tiger beat feelings about- Tiger beat.
Oh, I didn't give her an inch, but I noticed something. She has replies turned off. If she doesn't follow you on Twitter, you're not even allowed to talk back at her. And yet she's celebrating people who shoot others. I mean, this is a phobic, fragile, you know, retarded person who can't stand.
I mean it in the classical sense that her growth is stunted. Not that she suffers from any sort of genetic syndrome, though that may be true.
But it was it was the host who was really is really to be deplored. I mean, she's she's out there doing her act, you know, trying to get attention for her new independent journalism career. But that guy not he he he he complied with it. He he he fanned it. He he emphasized, amplified it.
Matt, speaking of the- I got the feeling he wanted Luigi to swipe right on his profile.
