Sunset. Because it can’t always be a firehouse of madness, cruelty, oppression, и т.д. Take the moments where you can.

It’s SC, so doubtful how much it’ll matter, but that shirt is a fucking gift to prosecutors.

I’ll have to go back on TACC and find out. Was quickly onto something else. My guess is he’s either exactly this stupid or paid. Though to be paid you’d also have to be exactly this stupid.

I agree with your position on being vigilant and better about restricting generative AI. If this is indeed a restoration to this image performed by genAI, then I humbly apologize.

Gilead’s Missing Apple 🇺🇦 🦅🇺🇦 @fortmaligator.bsky.social · 3h

I’ve done my share of touch ups to historical images and pretty competent in PS. This is definitely something I could pull off.

Welp, now I know how to say “sulfuric acid” in Russian 🥴

Facts.

There is quite a difference between manual digital restoration of historical images to improve clarity and accessibility, and gen AI.

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Frogs;
They is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored;
They hath loosed the fateful lightning of their terrible swift swords;
Their truth is marching on.

Insomnia rates among fascists 'bout to skyrocket.

Notably: every single rally (including in the small towns) was bigger than the surrounding police force available. That kind of image event is VERY IMPORTANT if you're, I dunno, demonstrating social coherence AGAINST a fascist government and it's makeshift gestapo.
