This A Win For Women? - Thursday!

Shinda Singh

Yo, what’s good? Is this whole Blue Origin thing a win for feminism, a win for women? This story is so weird, it feels like something out of The Beaverton or The Onion. Jeff Bezos sponsored a bunch of female celebrities to go to space for a 15-minute joyride, barely edging the border between Earth and space. They experienced free flight for a bit and then came back down. The whole thing feels off.

I’m not trying to make insinuations, but this is literally what happened. Why is this being celebrated as some crazy historic feat? I don’t get it. What’s up with these billionaires and their rockets? Are they compensating for something? You’ve got Elon Musk, Bezos, and even Zuckerberg with their own ventures. It blows my mind. Why do rich people suddenly want to go to space or deep into the ocean? Hanging out on a yacht isn’t enough anymore? What happened to relaxing in a villa on a tropical island? It’s absurd.

They have so much money they’re like, “What’s the stupidest thing only we can do? Let’s go to space or underwater in a discount submarine.” Maybe I’m just not big on seeing space. Give me a billion dollars, and I’m hanging out at home, stress-free, playing video games, going for a walk. I don’t know what these guys are doing with their money.

Far be it from me to tell people how to spend their money, especially when it’s been accumulated by busting unions and now being used to make AI to replace us, so they don’t have to pay a living wage. I get it; you don’t want to share that wealth. You want to keep it while you exploit us. It’s fine. I’m not bitter at all.

Meanwhile, the price of food is going up. But who cares? We’re all going to die anyway, maybe at the hands of these billionaires. This feels like the opulence of Rome. History books will show this time as when people were so rich they were sending themselves to space.

And what about these female celebs being called astronauts? Imagine being an actual female astronaut who studied, trained, and broke through glass ceilings to go to space, and now a bunch of rich celebrities go up for a joyride and suddenly, they’re astronauts too? What is going on with the world? It’s a crazy place. What do you guys think? Have a dope day. Peace.

Ai Header Image Prompt:

A high-detail, visually rich image in a style blending futuristic conceptual art and abstract digital painting, with a critical and sardonic tone. The central focus is an absurdly oversized, gaudy golden rocket, resembling a child's toy or a symbol of excessive, superficial wealth. It hovers just above a subtly fractured or distorted Earth, barely reaching into a cosmic void that feels both grand and empty. Around the rocket, several ethereal, glowing silhouettes of female figures drift aimlessly, appearing as incidental elements rather than empowered explorers, highlighting the performative nature of the event. The entire scene is infused with abstract digital overlays: luminous geometric grids, fragmented data streams, and subtle pixelated distortions, creating a sense of artificiality and detachment from reality. The background space is deep and dark, occasionally interrupted by faint, abstract patterns suggestive of societal inequality or industrial exploitation. Dynamic, almost theatrical lighting enhances the surreal atmosphere. Care is taken to avoid overtly realistic human features or detailed limbs for the figures. No text overlay.
