I guess I need to add this:
I did not say this was real, have not vouched for the authenticity of the image, even said in the thread that I didn't know if it was real, hoped it was & honestly, don't care. That's not why I posted it.
The concept works for me, that was enough. I'm not picky 😉

Just saw this on Mastodon:
Shuler: The economy isn’t working for working people right now. We have inequality at its highest levels. People are working harder and harder for less. They’re working two and three jobs just to keep up. In the U.S., 40 percent of workers do not have $400 for an emergency
Now put AI on top of that

While our low IQ “President” does not, I’ll always have so much respect for our NATO allies that sacrificed everything to defend us. Truly thank you.

Look at those faces! 💔
These are the Canadian heroes trump is insulting.
Those scenes were repeated 159 times from Afghanistan.
Anyone in Canada who still supports trump is an insult to our Canadian heroes and to Canada.

In Hillbilly Elegy, Vance lectured Appalachians for being lazy bums. He lectured "childless cat ladies" he claimed were unhappy. Now he's lecturing every woman with a white collar job for living a meaningless life.
Such a smug, condescending jackass. No wonder everyone hates him.

Donald Trump says he wants to cap credit card interest rates.
So why is Trump's appointee Russ Vought refusing to use the tools he has at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to bring down credit card costs?

Literally on the Saudi payroll
Jared Kushner acting as an unofficial agent of the U.S. government as well as of his father-in-law's business as well as of his own business just seems a lot worse than Hunter Biden lying to himself about being a drug addict. Where's the special counsel investigation of this?

Brooks: I have found it useful these days to go back to the historians of ancient Rome, starting with the originals like Sallust and Tacitus. Those fellows had a front-row look at tyranny, with case studies strewed before them — Nero, Caligula, Commodus, Domitian, Tiberius.
