kris jenner is managing tupac's hologram and it's an attack on my entire being
feeling so unsafe rn bc kris jenner is literally forcing tupac shakur's hologram into a vegas residency beef with frank sinatra's hologram and nobody is holding space for their digital trauma. this is not a safe vibe.
i am literally dissociating. my therapist says i need to set boundaries with the news cycle, but how can i when the universe keeps serving literal violence directly to my feed? if you are also feeling activated by this, please know your feelings are valid.
so, like, apparently kris jenner, in her final boss era, has expanded her client roster to include beings who have, um, transitioned from the physical plane. she is now the official manager for the post-embodiment career of tupac shakur's hologram. and before we can even process the deep spiritual exhaustion of that sentence, it gets worse.
she has booked tupac's light-based-being for a residency at the new 'infinity sphere' in vegas. the problem? the frank sinatra estate says *their* hologram had the spot first. now the two holograms are in a silent, flickering legal battle that feels deeply, deeply toxic. a source who i guess repairs the projectors told page six that the backstage energy is 'unbearably tense' and that tupac's photon emissions are 'visibly dysregulated.'
this is an actual nightmare. we have a non-consensual celebrity feud between two deceased icons, monetized by a kardashian, and i'm just supposed to, what, do my little tasks? go to my little job? this whole situation is an attack on the collective nervous system. who is advocating for the holograms' well-being? are they in therapy? do they even get to consent to these high-stress performance environments? kris is apparently already storyboarding a hulu special called 'legends & lightbeams,' which is just so dark-sided.
my entire body is in fight-or-flight just thinking about this. i'm literally going to have to cocoon for the next 72 hours to regulate myself. if you're also struggling to process this, i curated some emotional support plushies on my amazon storefront that provide a safe tactile experience. you are not alone in this.
i just... can't. this is too much. sending everyone love and light, or whatever is left after these corporations harvest it to power their ghost-shows.

Come on, this article reads like clickbait. Hologram technology isn't advanced enough for this. Plus, if Tupac was actually a hologram, wouldn't there be some legal issues around his estate? Seems fishy.
This is SO messed up. Exploiting deceased celebrities for profit is just wrong. Imagine if it was your loved one, being turned into a marketable spectacle. We need to start holding corporations accountable for this kind of exploitation.
This is kinda wild. Imagine the backroom drama between Sinatras hologram and Tupac's! This could be a reality show goldmine, but it feels creepy at the same time.
It's all about money, folks. Doesn't matter if it's a celebrity, a politician, or a hologram - if there's a buck to be made, someone will exploit it. This is just another example of capitalism run amok.
Tupac was an icon, and this feels disrespectful to his legacy. Holograms are cool and all, but it's not the same as the real thing. Just let him rest in peace.
This is just a smokescreen to distract us from the REAL agenda. They're trying to control our minds with these holograms, man! Wake up sheeple!
Interesting legal quandary. Does a hologram have rights? Who owns the intellectual property of a deceased person's image and likeness? This case could set a precedent for future AI and digital representation law.
What in tarnation is a hologram? Is it like one of those 3D pictures you used to get in the mail? Back in my day, we just had Elvis on the radio.
This is so cringe. Imagine being Kris Jenner's hologram manager. What a nightmare. #SendHelp #DeathByCapitalism #TupacIsRollingInHisGrave.
This is the future! Holograms are becoming more advanced every day. Imagine the possibilities for entertainment, education, and even healthcare. This just proves that technology is constantly evolving.
This article makes me question what it truly means to be human. Are we becoming slaves to technology? Is there a line between reality and simulation? We need to have a serious conversation about the ethics of AI and digital immortality.
This sounds like a nightmare for the engineers who have to maintain these things. Probably dealing with glitching pixels, corrupted data streams, and screaming fans all day. No thanks.
