At the same time, Google hates people using their name generically for web searching because it risks them losing the trademark.
So I guess I am conflicted, because I hate to acknowledge Google more than I need to, but would love to see the term become meaningless.
This one even commits the cardinal sin of presenting itself as a transparent image but really just has a checkered background baked in.
Ok this is honestly an amazing read. I’ve had too much circus in my life, not enough bread apparently.
Somehow, the enslavers returned.
People in the future will look back on today and ask how did we ever let it get to this point. Your guess is as good as mine, future history students.
I’ve seen the jokes about the Epstein resemblance, I guess I may have just been out of the loop on the possibility that the Epstein version of the image was an intentional edit.
I’ve seen mostly that version being shared, even by MAGA degens, so I had assumed it originated unironically from the MAGAsphere. Kinda takes part of the fun out of it, if that was not the case.
even if they get enough of a majority…
And there’s the rub.
The House is one thing, the Senate another. Only 1/3 of the current Senate seats go up for election, and the majority of seats up for vote that are currently held by Republicans are from very safe Republican stronghold states. I don’t think there’s a chance that the Dems get control of the Senate, even if they gain a couple seats.
As for the “problem” Dems, Fetterman isn’t up for reelection. Schumer isn’t up for reelection. Kaine isn’t up for reelection. Shaheen and Durbin are at least retiring, but none of the other sellouts are on the ballot until 2028 at the earliest.
Best we can hope for is that the House flips to a Democratic majority (a supermajority is still beyond question) and that turns the next two years into an ineffectual lame duck Congress. But it’s not like that’d be all that different from the situation right now anyways, because Trump has demonstrated he doesn’t give a shit about Congress and will just issue illegal executive orders for everything he wants to do, while the courts twiddle their thumbs and maybe question the legality of his actions 10 years from now.
I have had the displeasure of knowing several people like this. In the post-truth landscape we find ourselves, there are really people out there who will call your denial of their alternative facts “unscientific” because they think that science is just about questioning everything, and they know their perspective is the right one.
Therefore, when their high school science teacher (who obviously hated them in particular for their good Christian beliefs) insists on ideas like the Earth being round, or the existence of climate change or—heavens forbid—evolution, she’s obviously just trying to brainwash her students to believe her liberal agenda.
I assumed the Epstein resemblance was accidental (well, maybe not for the unpaid intern that generated it, but for everyone else) give that that’s the version I’ve seen shared more by the MAGA crowd. Like the other person above, I had no idea there was a wider (original?) version.
The only “cuatro leches” I’ve seen was topped with dulce de leche as a sort of tongue-in-cheek extra milk, but this doesn’t seem to be that. Unless it’s under the cream, maybe?
Meanwhile, when I was making that joke to friends in college
Wow they literally had AI redraw it to different proportions, too, it’s not just a crop. There are different visual elements, like the building in the background in front of the flag.
Edit: just noticed the guy in the bed also has a beard in the wider image but not in the slimmed one.
That really needs to be their next PR campaign.
