i keep seeing AI generated images of the inflatable frogs etc ostensibly representing portland protests. from resist type accounts. why do they feel the need to do that. there are probably over 10,000 publicly available images of that frog and his friends. why are those not good enough

The Eric Andre killing Hannibal Buress and asking "who killed Hannibal?" meme but it's showing posts by Dustin Rhodes celebrating MAGA saying "yep we did and its great" then followed up by some more posts where he's claiming he isn't MAGA and seems confused as how to people think that despite what he clearly said.
Good luck on your retirement Dustin and thank you Kyle Fletcher.

NEW: Pentagon officials are forcing staff to watch Pete Hegseth's "Warrior" speech he forced generals to listen to.

Officials are even "testing" staff to see if they watched — and are threatening consequences if they lie about watching it or if they mock it, sources tell @swin24.bsky.social and I.

The Pentagon Is Ordering Staff to Watch Hegseth’s ‘MAGA Garbage’ Speech… Or Else

Defense Department sources tell Zeteo that staff have been warned that if they don’t watch or read the speech, or if they speak negatively of it, they could face severe consequences.

so cool how republicans will be lockstep in defense of their pack of baby hitlers while democrats will oust any millennial or zoomer from their ranks for saying that maybe insulin should be free or that we shouldn't send 45 trillion dollars a month to israel's ethnic cleansing budget

It’s funny how black people are expected to reach across the aisle to voters like these, while no one ever expects them to reach across the aisle to black people. Amazing who gets to be human, and who doesn’t.

Dave Meltzer reporting Triple H has lost the WWE locker room (re Seth Rollins' injury) should be a much, much bigger story: "But after being told his other injury was legit, many are not fully believing anything... the lack of trust right now is pretty high."
