    WWE has direct ties to Trump, including Triple H being a part of their press conferences and social media videos, simping for MAHA and supporting Linda McMahon, the current Secretary of Education whose main goal is to dismantle public education.

    This is all in addition to WWE being fully in the bag for the Saudi government.

    Ah. Yes, you know, I'd actually forgotten about McMahon seeing as how there are so many other horrible people in our government to keep track of.

    And that's why you always leave a note.

    I was so bummed when I saw that too. Thursday strike me as very conscious people too. It's wild to me how CC still gets so many bills.

    HE’S BACK!











    (sarcasm. Actually as a former Kanye defender and Stan up until even the first donda era, it’s been incredibly hard to even think about listening to him the last few years. Even though there are other artists which I listen to that are “cancelled”, I feel particularly let down by him. I hope for his sake he is better, but def reading this with most hardcore grain of salt)

    Kanye's recovery has to be something that it won't be, it has to be extremely private and focused around him not putting out new music and not getting thrust back into fame with his yes men of the past and we know that's probably not going to happen. I hope I'm wrong

    yeah, for all the supposed sincerity in his message (probably more than any other statement he's made in the past decade), i can't help but wonder if there's an ulterior motive to get people to stream his music again, only to end up right back where we started. i want him to get the help he needs and commit to never platforming any of that shit ever again, but it's felt like crying wolf so many times that i'm skeptical. and even with commiting to righting so many wrongs (which some people would probably call unforgivable), i don't think you should have the platform you once had.

    for the record, i haven't liked or listened to Kanye in years now, and i'm certainly not wanting him back. just speculating on what might happen next...

    can’t help but giggle at the absurdity of choosing wsj. feels like a financial decision

  14. echoing the sentiment here. i believe he feels that way, to some extent, but....that doesn't really help

    It’s weird how many people want to feel comfortable liking Kanye again.

    I’m not sure how you got that from any of the replies in here

    people have been trying to reconcile his behavior for decades, tho, doesn’t feel weird at all to me

    didn't he once write an "apology" and get flack for it supposedly being written by ChatGPT? don't think that's happening here, but i wouldn't be surprised

    I want him to reach a place of wellness that can allow him to be better for his family that has suffered massive amounts of damage inflicted by him

    Not saying Greg's comment was directed at me or anyone else specifically here but just being as clear as possible about how I feel because I could not care less about him redeeming himself to me, he cannot do that but he can be better for the people he's actually around

  21. I don’t want him to make new music or tour - I want him to get healthy and I think the only way that will happen is if he truly steps out of the spotlight and works on himself

    What we are not going to do here though is make assumptions about people for using nuance about mental health issues. No one has said or even implied they want to like Kanye or feel comfortable listening to him again.

  24. I think it's strange to want to write someone off as a fundamentally irredeemable person because of things they said and did while we have reason to believe they were in active psychosis
