A lavish Gatsby-themed gala at Mar-a-Lago… while TSA workers go unpaid and families lose food assistance. It’s not just bad taste; it’s authoritarian pageantry. #steadystateassessment #authoritarian #democracy

Because the people those channels are bringing in aren't actually Catholics, they're cosplaying because they like the pageantry! It's been a MAJOR problem in the US Catholic Church for a long time.

Saw an article that described this reputation protection pageantry as "ruthless" on Charles' part & lost a contact rolling my eyes. This is why men rarely face any meaningful repercussions. When the slightest inconvenience is seen as "ruthless" it's deemed sufficient justice, if not "too far."

"The choice ahead is clear. You can’t serve both Mar-a-Lago and Main Street. And no amount of champagne, pearls, or jazz-age pageantry can hide the rot at the heart of this regime".

Just watched Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1992) It has to be one of the okay-est movies ever. It's not remarkable, but there's nothing wrong with it. I laughed several times and the vampire pageantry was self-aware and fun.

I miss the Halloween pageantry and parades and spectacle. Now it's all "trunk or treat", fuck cars, cars ruined everything.

I think climax itself is sincere
cumming requires sincerity
you can die ironically, but there's no such thing as ironic orgasm
its why the orgasm is so scary for some people
it reveals the pageantry of false happiness
it is brutally vulnerable

Also, if what they wanted to pair with the pageantry were, like, cake baking contests, or unicorn racing where the unicorns are various livestock in pointy hats, it would be a lot less of a problem than the eugenics/fascism thing they're mixing in in this universe.

Yeah, liberals worship the pageantry and rituals of the political theater because they believe in even fewer things than Republicans

Pageantry ftw 🙌
The ’king’ & ‘queen’ travelled along the Thames on golden leopards, and ’Indian pages’ carried ingots of silver and gold. This spectacle exhibited stereotypes about the Americas, but also, perhaps, a knowledge of the longstanding metalworking traditions of peoples including the Incas and Muiscas.

Sadly, the monarchy is not a benign tradition but a political institution that reinforces inequality, secrecy, and unaccountable power. Land & wealth locked in tradition could help house the homeless & lift millions from poverty - if we chose people over pageantry.

WAPO Headlines this morning: "Red Carpet, gold crown for the 🍊🤡... is showered with gifts and pageantry."
Seems like the Japanese have solved the code. Just give the 🍊🤡 toddler shiny things and he will acquiesce to anything.

I know, more the fool I for ever expecting the potential for nuance on anything remotely resembling social media. It’s the mindset that ate America. We’re governed by vibe and we react as vibe and it’s vibes all the way down the stack.
At this point, diplomacy only flatters the pageantry.

Nov. 2, 1925: Poland’s Unknown Soldier is buried with solemn pageantry in a tomb in Warsaw’s Saxon Palace. Mothers, wives and orphans of troops whose bodies were never identified during WWI and the 1918-20 wars for independence lead the funeral procession.

Queen Elizabeth II never attended any LGBTQ event.
However, her Platinum Jubilee celebrations included the decriminalisation of homosexuality as a key moment in her reign, inviting a group of LGBTQ+ activists (incl. me) to march as part of the pageantry.

It has become a pageantry for the orange emperor. All the while, real people lose their jobs, lose their healthcare & lose their basic food security. youtu.be/GUoGaD2abXI
