An all-female “crew” went to space on Monday courtesy of Jeff Bezos and his “Blue Origin” rocket. Among them were singer Katy Perry and left-wing anchor Gayle King, and somehow, both women managed to return to earth even more insufferable than before.
The pretentiousness of this quote from Perry is off the charts.
“I think that it’s not about me, it’s not about singing my songs, it’s about a collective energy in there,” Perry said afterward. “It’s about making space for future women, and taking up space and belonging, and it’s about this wonderful world that we see right out there and appreciating it. This is all for the benefit of Earth.”
Is that Perry speaking or Kamala Harris? Because I couldn’t tell for a moment there. I’ve also been reliably informed that any unnecessary release of carbon emissions is an awful tragedy that must be avoided. Yet, here are six very wealthy women producing more than most people will in a year for what amounted to an 11-minute joy ride. Perry claims it was for the “benefit of the Earth,” though.
How, exactly? I have no idea, but from what I can gather, she believes she did something incredible for women everywhere.
Gayle King would beg to differ, though. In perhaps the most pretentious commentary following their flight, she declared that joy-riding in space for a few minutes was a call for us all to be “better human beings.”
It’s hard to quantify that level of self-aggrandizing bluster, but let’s just say it ranks fairly high. King has always been one of the most arrogant, self-absorbed “journalists” in the press, so it’s no surprise she decided to use her experience to lecture everyone else about how they are terrible and must do better.
