        You forgot “rebound partner for Grimes after leaving Elon Musk” which… I don’t know that, to me, already primed me enough to anticipate something like this.

        EDIT:

        Look I’m not gonna fault anyone for their past partners and evolving as a person, or act like they’re somehow inherently tarnished for it… BUT. By all accounts this happened during a period when Grimes and Elon were still an off and on thing making Chelsea part of their weird fucked up thruple.

          Every time I read about the love lives of billionaires, liberals, or anarchists I come away wanting espouse Kropotkin, i.e., give up reading forever.

            Judging from the people around me irl, celebrity worship is one of the most destructive facet of the capitalist media. And i’m not telling about the hero worship in general, that can be even beneficial if done right (like in the case of Lei Feng), but the mindless obsessive interest about existence of bunch of worthless parasites who are today celebrities. Sadly especially women are targeted by this. This is turning people brains into mush, like i was flabberghasted by the amount of people literally crying for the fucking queen of some shit island on the other side of continent. Or the personality cult of pope JP2, who didn’t even expressed any shred of personaly whatsoever.
