"President Biden hosted a little get-together to give out Congressional Medals of Freedom to a bunch of fancy people like Bono, Jane Goodall, Magic Johnson, and others. These medals are basically handed out to whoever the President thinks is cool and wants to meet, so I imagine he was like, "Shit, I gotta move out of this place in like two weeks and I haven't even had Denzel Washington and Bill Nye over yet to see my stuff!""
"Because I could pull off that decor with two hundred bucks and a free Saturday afternoon. Page Six has had a lot of nice press coverage of Lauren Sanchez in the proceeding days and it all reeks of PR. Nobody cares that Lauren Sanchez sparkles in a slinky silver dress as she wishes for shared light in 2025. A billionaire's fiancée hoping for "shared light" is so fucking bleak."
President Biden awarded Congressional Medals of Freedom to figures such as Bono, Jane Goodall, and Magic Johnson. The awards are portrayed as being given to whoever the President finds cool and wants to meet. Jeff Bezos and fiancée Lauren Sanchez allegedly planned a $600 million Aspen wedding but called it off after public scrutiny. Questions are raised about the absurdity of billionaire wedding spectacle, extravagant decor, and the role of PR in shaping celebrity image. Page Six coverage is characterized as manufactured publicity. The Super Bowl is briefly noted with dismissive commentary about interest in football and outfits.
