I honestly have no idea why crap like this even surprises me anymore, but lo and behold, I give you Tila Tequila, flat Earth truther.
That’s right. The same woman who sympathizes with Hitler has taken her obscured former celebrity status to Tom Cruise levels, crafting a series of Tweets dedicated to desecrating science with the fervor of Ed Gein.

Please, oh please, do it now.

You know, that’s a very good question, former reality TV star only a few people continue to care about. Perhaps an answer not derived from YouTube will help. From the science experts at PhysLink:
“The reason why no or very little stars can be seen is because of the Earth. The Earth, when lit by the Sun, is many thousands times brighter than the stars around it. As a result the Earth is so bright that it swamps out most if not all of the stars.
The stars are there and the astronauts can see them if they look away from the sun. The reason that the stars do not show up on the film is that the stars are so dim that the camera cannot gather enough of their light in a short exposure. Our eyes are a lot more sensitive to light than photographic film.”

Pandemic /pan’demik/ adj. 1 (of a disease) prevalent throughout an entire country, continent, or the whole world; epidemic over a large area. 2 general; universal: pandemic fear of atomic war. n. a pandemic disease.
A pandemic of what?

From the Department of Mathematics at the University of California-Riverside:
“A clear cloudless day-time sky is blue because molecules in the air scatter blue light from the sun more than they scatter red light. When we look towards the sun at sunset, we see red and orange colours because the blue light has been scattered out and away from the line of sight.”

YouTube? Goddammit.

Put the Reynolds Wrap down, Tila!
For the love God, she’s got the tin foil!

So, actually, people are allowed to go to Antarctica. In fact, there’s a lot of tourism in Antarctica.
The Antarctic Treaty System exists so Antarctica can be a place for cooperative science and not a place for military activity. In fact, it was the first arms control agreement of the Cold War.
Thankfully, Tila eventually moved away from all the flat Earth mumbo-jumbo. But if anyone thought this was the end of her genocidal action against brain cells, they were sorely mistaken. As if the perpetuation of flat Earth wasn’t enough lunacy for Tila Tequila, she kicked the batshittery up to 11.

Texas is not it’s own republic and the Queen does not own it. Not that she ever would either, except maybe as a place where Daily Star reporters would never run out of a material.

Yeah, because there is a secret liberal conspiracy to rid the world of dissenters. Rupert Murdoch, the Koch’s, and Roger Ailes totally pays me, my colleagues, other writers and journalists, and even liberal politicians to do their bidding. All that climate change science? They peddled that, too.
But she didn’t stop there!
Then, things got a little prejudiced.

Then, she got a little racist.

Then, she got a little sexist.

Then, while presumably holding a Ted Cruz bobblehead, she went full partisan.

I guess when you give a celebrity a Twitter account, you run the risk of exposing people to some monumentally asinine stuff. I wonder if TLC would fight for broadcast rights if Trump were to tap her for VP. After all, they probably need something else to make America dumber since Honey Boo Boo and the Duggars are gone.
Some may be saying, “Obviously, this isn’t the real Tila Tequila. No one is that dumb.”
Really?
The account from where these tweets were pulled is a verified account. According to Twitter, account verification is used to “established authenticity of identities of key individuals and brands on Twitter,” concentrating specifically on highly-sought users in “music, acting, fashion, government, politics, religion, journalism, media, sports, business and other key interest areas.”
In short, this is Tila Tequila’s Twitter account.
Maybe she’s high or something? Maybe she’s just trying to get attention? Both of these could be possibilities, but I think the latter may be more so.
There was a time when Tila Tequila was one of the hottest people in the world. Of course, at that time, MySpace was still around and Ted Mosby was busy getting a drunken tramp stamp while partying with Mandy Moore.
All celebrity tenures must come to a close and for some celebrities, the loss is too hard to bear. So, they go crazy and start talking about the flat Earth or jumping up and down on Oprah’s couch.
Still, that doesn’t get someone off the hook when they take up residence in Crazytown.
