My ai sense is tingling, but this admin has been a part of so many supremely bizarre things that I can’t rule it out completely

It's REALLY sus ~~coming from Twitter~~. Notably, the couch and her clothing have the exact same pattern. So presumably if this was real someone would have had to reupholster the couch.

Edit: threads

For plaids, thats not really that crazy to find a shirt and matching upholstered couch. (Although now that I think about it I dont think ive ever seen a plaid couch irl, but google has plenty they want to sell me...)

but because all the patterns (tartans) represent families (like a coat of arms) youll see them reused for a lot of different items.

Like at one point, I had a shirt, a throw blanket, and a jacket with a plaid liner, all with the same exact blue green black patern... which i later found out was clan Mckay, and was one of my friend's clan colors.

I think this is one of the Stewart variants? Which would kind of be ironically appropriate forna wannabe kings wife?

It is more complicated than that. There are Scottish Clan tartans, Irish Clan tartans, military tartans, generic tartans, then other plaids and check patterns. You're technically not supposed to use the clan or military tartans for anything other than their intended purpose, but the generics are open game.

Also doesn't help that the Scottish and Irish diaspora in North America is fucking massive even if you are just going by self identification let alone genetics. It's kinda inevitable that clan and military tartans would get misused eventually.

Also as someone who self identified as California-Scots let me tell you the fucken breadth and width of folks who identify as some variety of Scots and/or Irish is downright mind numbing, I've met fellow pals bastards like myself, Native Americans who integrated it into their families identity, and at least one black dude who's grandfather was adopted by a McNulty and who carried that name still. All of them are valid and I will disembowel and feed to the ravens any who disagree.

They already do that a few times a week at Number One Observatory Circle ever since they Vances moved in 🤷

Also, I don’t know why the Second Lady (that’s a thing, right?) would ever pose for a photo shoot in pajamas

[–] Zachariah@lemmy.world 26 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

The fist lady posed nude, so…

I saw her nudes a while back, must have missed that photo shoot.

Given the context of the supposed interview... Pajamas would totally be something they use to try and add authenticity with the common man.
