Some Pink Floyd fans are up in arms about the rainbow colors that have accompanied the band's classic Dark Side of the Moon album artwork for nearly five decades.
The legendary music group announced Thursday that it was releasing a special 50th anniversary edition of what is already one of the best-selling albums of all time. The announcement was made on social media networks including Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, featuring an adapted image of the iconic album cover with the prism and rainbow colors.
...
While met with mostly admiration from fans, some users felt inclined to call out the band.
"Lose the wokeness," wrote Twitter user Donna Bradshaw. "Longtime fan. Do you now have handlers? Kanye has exposed this part of the industry. Been listening to your music since 70s. Let's see your response."
...
Some users, whose responses were screenshot and combined in an image, called it a "disgrace" and vowed to never listen to the band again.
"Lose the rainbow," One Facebook user stated. "You're making yourself look stupid."
"Are you going woke with rainbows? Is there a straight flag?" another Facebook user chimed in. "I want equal representation. Don't get me wrong, we should all be true to who we are."
Fortunately for every one of these morons dozens of others piled on to mock them.

Current crop of crazy, I heard about this from a poster who asked about it because their QAnon-afflicted partner is freaking out about it

The 15-minute city: dystopian conspiracy, or climate-friendly paradise? TikTok conspiracy theorists say that the ‘15-minute city agenda' is an attempt to usher in ‘climate lockdowns' - supporters say it can help save a dying planet
15 minute cities is a town planning concept, where you cluster housing around facilities so that everyone is within 15 minute walking or cycling distance of the services they need. In the conspiracy version, they'll put us into these mini-cities then wall us in, and we can never leave.
I came across this because there's one of those odd local conspiracies involved. In Edmonton Canada they're creating "pop up dog parks" which are temporary fencing to create off the leash areas where people can bring their dogs and let them off the leash.
The Qult are freaking out about this, because the initiative is linked in the media to the 15 minute cities concept, and it involves fencing, so they're freaking about about the dog parks now ... must be some kind of psyop the government is running /s
Here's a video about the WEF "15 minute city idea". This channel is a Crypto currency booster and WEF conspiracy theorist:

The first great moment is 1 minute into the video, where he says that the idea that the things you need should be close to where you live isn't a new idea, and that it was tried in the ... Soviet Union.

How DARE they! I demand my cities be inconvenient and illogical! I must waste more money and time like a good conservative.
FEAR AND LOATHING! FEAR AND LOATHING! CAMERAS! PEN THEM IN! CONSPIRACY! FACT CHECKING IS THE DEBIL!

Jon Stewart had a chat with history professor Matthew Connelly about how US administrators learned to stop worrying about Nuremberg trials and love the US document classification system:

The Pink Floyd reaction was hilarious.
But Tucker Carlson just won his war on M&Ms.
An 80-year old candy product is "woke" now because it comes in multiple colors.
It's like Pleasantville has come to life.
Weird how conservatives in the US have suddenly become social media influencers doing react videos and pandering to their fans by doing various stunts for them. Next thing you know, they'll be in Japan throwing oversized pokeballs at people.

It used to be that when I'd hang out with more conservative friends, they'd be complaining about liberals going around trying to find things to get offended about. I like to remind them of that now.
