The weird get weirder. He apparently spent $4000 to smash a guitar that was next to a signature.

A man who for some reason smashed up a guitar with a hammer in Texas may have thought it had been signed by Taylor Swift — but it was not, in fact, an official Swift-certified guitar.

But contrary to media reports, the guitar the man destroyed had not been signed by Swift — and was not a certified official guitar used by the singer, a source close to her merch company confirmed to Variety. The organization that held the auction, the Ellis County WildGame Dinner, presented the guitar with a signed CD insert but the guitar itself was not signed.

While I agree with the message of most of the posts in this community, I must admonish y'all for your gross misuse of a positive word. It's good to be weird - a weirdo - as the alternative is being normal, and that's something everybody should strive to avoid.

In fact, I'd argue that most of the people y'all call weirdos are actually normal. And that's the problem - their shitty behavior is normalized. Co-opting "weird" to use as an insult to normal assholes only corrupts the word without adding anything of value.

It's like how "literally" is now literally its own antonym. Nobody benefits from that new definition - all it does is cause confusion.

Article here:

It looks like a family holiday card except that the woman and children posing with Republican Derrick Anderson are not his wife or his offspring.

Anderson, who running in a close race for Virginia’s seventh congressional district, was seen in another image seated around the dining table with the same woman and three girls.

The images came to light in an article by The New York Times, headlined “G.O.P. Candidates, Looking to Soften Their Image, Turn to Their Wives,” which reported how “male Republicans struggling to appeal to female voters concerned about their records on reproductive rights are unleashing their spouses to make the pitch on their behalf.”

However Anderson, who is childless, engaged to be married and lives alone with his dog, sought to borrow the wife and children from a longtime friend in an apparent effort to appear as a family man.

A spokesman for Anderson criticized The New York Times for focusing on the footage and said that “Derrick’s opponent and every other candidate in America are in similar pictures and video with supporters of all kinds.” The spokesman said the video simply showed Anderson “with female supporters and their kids.”

However, comments by vice presidential candidate JD Vance making fun of “childless cat ladies” and a push by Republicans to roll back abortion rights have not been popular with the electorate.

In 2022, Anderson praised the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn the Roe v. Wade decision that provided women with abortion access, saying “SCOTUS finally got it right.”

His decision to pose with a family that was not his own was widely mocked on social media.

It’s not just the dogs and the cats. There are full-on vampires, and everybody still thinks I’m crazy. But I’m not crazy. They’re full-on vampires. They love the taste of human flesh, and they drink human blood. They do. By the time we go in to vote for Trump, that he will open up everybody’s eyes and they will stop pretending to be asleep. You know what they say. You can’t wake people up that are pretending to be asleep. But I pray to God, please wake up. Even those who are pretending to be asleep with the irrefutable truth of what the worst people on this planet are really up to. They are really up to that. They’re doing it. There are so many victims. There are so many victims!

As the article points out, it's never clear who "they" are.

Isn't it weird who Tucker Carlson surrounds himself with?

A post on Truth Social by Trump, posted on September 22, 2024, said: "A long time ago, Oprah Winfrey asked me to do her last Network Television Show.

"The final week of her show was a big deal, and it was my honor, with my family, to do it.

"When I watched her interview yesterday with a woman who is destroying, through her complete and total incompetence, America, I couldn't help but think this isn't the real Oprah, this isn't a person that wants millions of people, from prisons and mental institutions, and terrorists."

While Trump has been on Oprah, he was not on the show during her final week as multiple reports at the time show.
