She's good friends with Moldbug so this is something that happened some time ago

Manners and grammar, on the other hand, can be taught. Grimes shows a poor grasp of both.

Grimes is an accomplished musician and not accomplished at anything else whatsoever

she's verging on imbecility

The more I learn about these folks, the less I like them, I tell ya

I swear she's experiencing cognitive decline. Either that, or it's not her typing. She used to write more coherently.

davidgerard.co.uk•37 days ago

nah she was always like this

apriciajovialis.bsky.social•37 days ago

Guess I wasn't really paying attention.

to be fair, you betta off

i first encountered Grimes when she did the Rococo Basilisk joke in 2015 and read an interview where the writer had clearly worked overtime to turn the babbling of a brain filled with squirrels and confetti into coherent thought

You’re lucky you didn’t have too deal with 2011 when everyone just pretended her music was good

Thanks for taking the time to explain. I remember thinking at the time that it wasn't a particularly remarkable joke, just word association, because my brain did the same thing when I heard of Rocco's basilisk, but I didn't think it was special enough to write it down.

i have written that sort of article and am deeply familiar with the process of not-babbling-idiot-washing

rufflejax.bsky.social•37 days ago

the NOISE I just made ugh
