Looks like autocorrect gotcha.

I spent today at the hospital and didn’t see a single respirator (other than my own).

There were a few people wearing surgical masks.

Signs saying it was a “mask friendly” environment.

No free masks.

No mask mandates.

Tons of coughing & sickness.

Masks belong in healthcare. Period.

…or maybe theTesla logo.

Was it up to a vote in those states? Didn’t think so.

For a moment, I read that as “Samoa….”

They’re not going away, Tom. Aaagghhh!!

That’s what I’d call it.

Hoist the Jolly Roger! Arghh!

2A was to raise militias to protect the state. It was obsolete the moment it was enacted.

Third voice by John Cage.

Look for the item about "people who stopped taking precautions when our countries and communities 'opened up again and are now rethinking how to protect themselves" and another from a first responder describing how (and why) year *seven* of Covid is like a slow-rolling mass casualty incident ⬇️

Couldn’t agree more with this.

I don't usually ask such things, but I'd love it if y'all would please spread the word about this. I have never had such a deep cut in rates before, and I'm really trying to increase my readership. Thanks!

Did Trump post, delete AI image depicting himself in likeness of Jesus? Trump confirmed he posted the image on Truth Social, but said he thought it showed him as a doctor rather than Jesus Christ.

I just asked this poster where she found the image. I checked Snopes (which I should have done first), and they backed up your citation. I just didn’t believe there could be two equally sick fucks on the Internet!

While your citation is believable, I was unable to verify it on Xitter. I did find this, however:

Images of Trump as Jesus (or as he claims, “doctor”). The image on the left is almost certainly the one originally posted by Trump, depicting soldiers in the sky behind him. The right image has been modified to make the center soldier resemble the demon Baal, perhaps by Iranian propaganda.

This is where sourcing on social media is a problem. The image on the left below is almost certainly the one Trump posted; if not, where did it come from? The “Baal” image we all know and love on the right is apparently subtle Iranian propaganda.

I’d just go with insane.

My dad worked for the company that made that foil (gold-deposited Mylar)!

Picture of HWMNBNed with the text: Joe G @EastEndJoe 10h Perfectly expressed! drunk, and the greed of a hedge-fund ghoul-all spray-painted orange and paraded like a prize hog at a county fair. Not a president. Not even a man. Just the diseased distillation of everything this country swears it isn't but has always been-arrogance dressed up as exceptionalism, stupidity passed off as common sense, cruelty sold as toughness, greed exalted as ambition, and corruption worshiped like gospel. It is America's shadow made flesh, a rotting pumpkin idol proving that when a nation kneels before money, power, and spite, it doesn't just lose its soul-it sh*ts out this bloated obscenity and calls it a leader. By Oliver Kornetzke August 18, 2025 Behold. The festering carcass of American rot shoved into an ill-fitting suit: the sleaze of a conman, the cowardice of a draft dodger, the gluttony of a parasite, the racism of a Klansman, the sexism of a back-alley creep, the ignorance of a bar-stool

This isn’t addressing the ethics of using AI, but it is countering the narrative that the all-purpose, all-encompassing “AI God” the techbro oligarchs are trying to build is the only path forward.

Small is beautiful!
