From all of us here at Bank of Money, Happy Pride!
Though if anyone asks, you didn’t hear that from us. We’re straight now.
We know that may come as a surprise after the past ten years of emphasizing all the money we’ve donated to LGBTQIA+ orgs, taking up increasingly more space in the parade with our float, and having the bank’s twitter account flirt with Lil Nas X. But we’d now like to clarify that we’re only into one-man, one-woman stuff.
We will be pulling our Platinum Sponsorship from this year’s Pride weekend. Sure, it’ll cost the festival hundreds of thousands of dollars on short notice, but you wouldn’t want a cishet bank there, would you? We’re cis now too.
Just think of this shift like the morning we change our LinkedIn profile from our rainbow logo back to our regular one. It’s always July 1 now at Bank of Money.

We in the theater world acknowledge that tickets to Broadway shows have become far too expensive. Thanks in part to A-listers pursuing the coveted T in their EGOT, producers have been able to price-gouge to new extremes, making theater inaccessible to most audiences. If you’re unwilling to shell out four figures to watch a movie star stumble through Shakespeare dialogue from the rear balcony, you’re fresh out of luck. That being said, we remain committed to looking like we care about our shows being accessible to all, which is why we’re proud to introduce several new affordable ticket options—for even our most penniless of patrons.
RUSH TICKETS
You like standing out in the cold? Well, have we got good news for you. If you arrive at the theater long before our box office staff does and wait in line outside, you might be able to snag some discounted rush tickets. How many are available? We’ll never tell.
Once a global icon embraced by the media and political elite, Greta Thunberg is now marginalized for speaking out against war, imperialism, and Israel’s assault on Gaza.

Bought a T-shirt with Sylvia Rivera’s face
Spent $50 to hear heterosexuals sing at Pride
Walked quickly past the unhoused
Clutching my Telfar leaving my Tesla
I’m not a capitalist just look at this mustache
Touch on these muscles while I read Judith Butler
I tell you Pride was a riot started in New York in 1969
Even though PRIDE was a collective in Los Angeles that
Protested police brutality outside the Black Cat Tavern in 1967
Too many people are worried about their irrelevance
I’m just worried about how my ass looks on Insta
I mean ending poverty and prisons at my nonprofit
Today I feel more like a brand than a person
Sometimes I wish Marsha P Johnson could spit on these gays
Then I wonder if she would spit on me too
Sometimes I want her spit on me to go viral
But not like that

“Last year, two mercurial billionaires formed a partnership and vowed to drive the country in a new direction. Donald Trump had the political power. Elon Musk had the money and social media might. But on Thursday, their union dissolved in remarkably public and rapid fashion, with the two men attacking each other over matters both significant and petty.” — New York Times
If you’ve kept up with the Middle-earth media in the last few days, you’ve likely heard about the feud between me, Saruman the White, and the Dark Lord Sauron. You may have heard that Sauron rescinded my generous offer to supply Mordor with Uruk-hai reinforcements in exchange for $auronCoin. And that, in retaliation, I brought up his longstanding ties to Melkor and his dark deeds on the Island of Númenor. That is all true.
But please allow me to set the record straight. Yes, I was once in allegiance with the Dark Lord Sauron. But that alliance has ended. To tell you the truth, I always hated the guy.
