I may have just not have seen the entire rant. I saw someone in chat ask why he pays attention to "that BS". Phil said that he doesn't, he only knows of his last desktop reveal (he made out like this was some impossible feat committed by nefarious criminals) from the constant mentions of the Space Needle by "Detractors" in his chat. I think it's fair to believe that's the case, and not that he knows of it specifically from here, or anywhere else.
I also don't think he mentioned Leanna. Phil claimed going to Seattle had long been a dream of Kat's (there was some nice deflection in making like the financial burden of the trip would have been on the 45 minutes drive to Seattle, and not the visit to the Space Needle itself.)
The funny thing to me is during one of the """IRL""" streams one question asked of Katherine was "What is your favorite place you've been to since moving out there?" After about 30 seconds of Katherine staring cross-eyed into space saying 'Umm' Phil started prompting her with suggestions such as: 'A restaurant you liked, the park, the ocean, . . .', and one of those suggestions Phil made when listing off places she had been was
the Space Needle. So it's not as if it was even a secret they had visited the Space Needle together, he openly told everyone they had.
The part from him showing his desktop that was funny wasn't this idea of 'lolz, has no money -> takes horse to Space Needle' because they went sometime
before June 2018, the funny part was that he has the same goddamn greenscreen tourist photo they offer at the Space Needle he had taken with Leanna as well. . .still loaded onto his desktop, futher cementing the idea of Phil just trying to do a redo with a replacement Leanna using Kat.
For me Phil knowing enough of the detractor narrative to entirely tiptoe around the aspect revealed of not just restaging photos with Leanna 2.0, but also seemingly trying to restage entire events with Katherine during the upcoming ConnVacay to try to revisionist history Leanna from his own memory, and instead only focusing solely on this idea that somehow 'Space Needle = Phil lies about money' could indicate to me he's well read up enough to know what he wants to actively pretend people are laughing about the Space Needle photos about. He's pretending that 'Space Needle = Photo w/ Khet from desktop = How I know about desktop reveal'. If the only place he knew about it was from his chat then why would he entirely rule out the desktop photo with Leanna at the Space Needle having anything to do with it?
Probably not, as I don't pay attention to Phil anywhere else but Kiwi Farms and I'm not sure how widespread this idea that
'the desktop photo with Kat from before June 2018 somehow prooves that he is lying about his current money woes in Feb/Mar 2019' became, but it's still a maybe for me. Makes me raise an eyebrow. Not mentioning the Leanna photo makes me think he did read about it and is trying to steer the greater DSPhere away from knowing he took the same photo with Leanna as he did Katherine, and that he still has Leanna photos on his destop by pretending it's all about him lying about money.
Sorry if I rambled a lot, I woke up from a nap a bit ago and naps make my brain fuzzy and cranky.
