(While I have thought from the start that the whole thing was super creepy, I've still wondered whether we had enough of a view of the overall context to really evaluate the seemingly damning evidence that may, in the final analysis, have been cherry picked either to discredit the Podestas or else as a wild collective paranoid flight of fancy.) The artist who painted the murals at Comet has other work that can easily be googled. All of it is seemingly of an occult nature, depicting obvious scenes of sex and potentially sex magic. To me, these images seem similar in spirit to many of the images on AC's Thoth Tarot deck. Photos of the artist himself show eyes that (to me) demonstrate an occult practice (compare, e.g. with photos of Helena Blavatsky). My feelings/intuitions aside, the murals at Comet are part of a body of work whose themes should really not overlap with a venue that is serious about being "family friendly". Too many of the artists associated with Comet have obvious occult themes in their work. This to me suggests that the jokes made on Instagram represent more than just bad taste. The context renders them something else.
