Here’s me, a former employee of Twitter inc, who put his blood sweat and tears into building it and getting it to thrive, and who in a very sisko way still emotionally exists there saying: everybody needs to get the fuck off that website and we need to salt the earth so it can never grow again

I couldn't give a shit about Maduro, a dictator whose authoritarian power Trump envies.

It's the latter part of that sentence that you should care about when evaluating what just happened.

It's hard to capture in a single frame, but in this clip the stars in the flag on the right seem, if anything, to be arching down towards the red rather than up towards the yellow. In this freeze frame they're not even stars at all, and the hand holding the flag seems slightly mangled.

It also seems unlikely that quite so many people would be wearing the flag – seems likely to be an example of the prompt "bleeding through" to unintended aspects of the image.

It seems odd that a lot of people are wearing Venezuelan flag themed tops that omit the red stripe. If you're making flag clothing, you can't really just leave out one of the main components of the design.

Often it gives subjects an unrealistic studio lighting look (presumably being trained on a lot of professional studio photography), but that's less of a clear giveaway in a sunny setting.

The kneeling lady herself has an AI look about her. I'm not sure I can explain exactly what it is. Perhaps its tendency towards displays of extreme but undirected emotion (e.g. its love of showing people shouting at and about nothing in particular). Or the strange forward and back camera movements.

Check the robots cheering behind the first lady, and the overhead wires randomly disappearing into the clouds behind the head of the second man. The graffiti on the walls is also odd.
