    I… Am really struggling to figure out if this is satire or an actual “meant” comment. I mean, they’re taking lyrics and the logo from one of Pink Floyd’s most famous albums; on the other hand they’re invoking “woke” shibboleths in a weird way… Not knowing the context, who the Xitter user is and just looking at the image, it feels like something you’d create to poke fun at those who routinely chant, “woke” as if it’s a bad thing…

      Caitlyn Jenner is basically a right-wing token trans person that for some reason hates all other LGBT+ people… So if this is real then in all likely hood it unfortunately isn’t satire

        Ah, that’s fair. My mind immediately goes to, “I wonder if this was originally satire, and is being distributed by someone to dim to realise it’s satire”, and now we’re in a fully recursive deepening shit hole.

        Yay the internet.

          It unfortunately appears to be 100% authentic, with the image never having been satire. I looked up the handle “euphorio_” from the watermark and the dude is a full on right wing conspiracy theorist proud of being “anti-censorship” and “realizing”. I was really hoping for a bit of schadenfreude here from Caitlyn having eaten the onion, but no such luck.

      Two albums—the bugger didn’t even get that right. Another Brick In The Wall was from The Wall, not from The Dark Side Of The Moon. (And I’m not even that big of a Pink Floyd fan…)

        And it’s also “Hey! Teachers! Leave them kids alone!”, so Jenner utterly mangled the quote too.

          Dude. If any album was meant to be listened to with the songs in a specific order, it’s Dark Side of the Moon.

              That too, but that’s more for story reasons. Dark Side of the Moon was designed so that everything would bleed together, in theory as an endless loop. That’s why it begins and ends with the same heartbeat.

                …where we came in.

                The Wall ends with the first half of the sentence it started with.

                I think this is…

                Outside the Wall flows pretty cleanly into In the Flesh? as well…

                I might be unduly influenced after a night in my misspent youth melting into the living room floor with The Wall on repeat for hours…

                I love when musicians do things like this. Jikkenteki has albums years apart that seamlessly flow into each other, the next one starting where the previous ends.
