Blessed are the frogs, for they keep making authoritarians look incredibly stupid

Three persons in inflatable frog costumes. One of them is holding a nicely painted sign with two little cartoon frogs holding hands, below the text "FROGS TOGETHER STRONG"

For people who haven't gotten the account in question injected into their feed, it's @jennbudd.bsky.social, for your blocking needs.

That "resistor" account sharing a genAI video (faking a reporter being detained by ICE) and then shutting down their comments after everyone tried to tell them, is precisely why I block those accounts on sight.

They pretend to care, but they don't. All they want is for their numbers to go up.

Know your fascism

The 14 characteristics are:

Powerful and Continuing Nationalism
Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays.

Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights
Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of "need." The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc.

Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause
The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial , ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc.

Supremacy of the Military
Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized.

Rampant Sexism
The governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-gay legislation and national policy.

Controlled Mass Media
Sometimes to media is directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media is indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common.

Obsession with National Security
Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses.

Religion and Government are Intertwined
Governments in fascist nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major t…

why the hell are people using genai for gposes

just load up gpose, adjust the weather on brio, play with the bone machine on anam, fiddle with the lighting on ktisis, toggle through reshade filters, struggle with post-processing, and scream at image compression when uploading like the rest of us

I fear if things don’t change right now, this image is going to come back to haunt us

Laura Rodriguez, on Twitter:

A federal agent points a weapon at a woman who was recording them.

Jess, a U.S. citizen and member of a neighborhood patrol team that documents and shares ICE activity across the city, was filming when the incident occurred earlier today in the Berwyn area.

"I can still hear the falcon's cry. Do you?"

What a way to bring everyone together!! And boy does it feel kinda nostalgic to get lost in some fanart for a brand new episode...
#CriticalRoleSpoilers #CriticalRole #CriticalRoleFanart

Digital illustration by galacticjonah. The illustration shows Thjazi Fang on his death bed, covered in tributes by friends and family. Thjazi is an orc man with a greying beard and hair, dressed in a wine red shirt, lying in peaceful rest. Below the blankets covering him change into a banner that is catching flame. The banner shows a white falcon.

To close a Wells Fargo A/C, you must have a zero balance and no pending transactions. You can call customer service at 1-800-869-3557, visit a branch with valid ID, or by mail a completed Account Closure Request form if you are outside the U.S. Wells Fargo does not allow account closures online.

The building is in a 27 million dollar foreclosure filed by Wells Fargo. The next day, Wells Fargo filed an emergency motion for receivership. The fascist regime kindly emptied the building for donor Wells Fargo.

This is Adelita Grijalva.

She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files.

She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.

Fanart of Noctis from FFXV. He is sitting slumped in a throne seat. The throne is a desaturated blue, with the frame being a gray-green color. His legs are crossed and hanging over the arm of the chair. He's leaning on his head on one hand with his other resting over his stomach. He's looking to the right with a bored expression. The background is made up of light purple-blue swirls over a pale blue base. There are flowers in the upper right corner, two flowers in the bottom right corner with a few petals and two flowers in the bottom right corner.
