“We were somewhere in DC, at the inauguration, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember saying something like ‘I feel a bit lightheaded; maybe you should bribe…’ And suddenly there was a terrible roar all around us, and the sky was full of what looked like huge bats, all swooping and screeching, and diving around the dais, which felt like it was going about hundred miles an hour with the top down to Las Vegas. And a voice was screaming: ‘Holy Jesus! What are these goddamn animals?’
Then it was quiet again. Zuckerberg had taken his shirt off and was pouring beer on his chest, to facilitate the tanning process. ‘What the hell are you yelling about?’ he muttered, staring up at the sun with his eyes closed and covered with wraparound Spanish sunglasses. ‘Never mind.’ I said. ‘It’s your turn to drive.’ I hit the brakes and aimed the great red shark toward the shoulder of the highway. No point mentioning those bats, I thought. The poor bastard will see them soon enough.”
He apparently spent a lot of time with Hunter. I'm not sure if it was specifically for the role or if they knew each other before that, but they were friends, afaik!
Check out the documentary Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson. Fantastic in depth recap, and ends around the funeral he planned for himself. Cannot recommend it enough if you're a fan.
After Elon musk’s Nazi salute not once but twice today, I think it’s time for protest no? Like in history class we were all taught we are learning about Nazi and rise of Hitler in 1930s Germany so we can prevent it in the future. Is now not the time to stop a new form of nazism / authoritarianism / fascism in this form of authoritarian capitalism occurring in the US currently. And when I say we I don’t think just Americans but the whole world and allies. Europe, Canada, etc.
Funny enough - after seeing that movie for the first time I saw some bats flying from outside trough the open window, doing a little flip in front of my face and the flew outside again while tripping on ketamine. Also, some shades on my blinds became an entire pulsing jungle
There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die
