@pftompkins.bsky.social I painted your face and it came out like a cross between Pedro Pascal, Albert Einstein, and a bad painting.
A pretty rough attempt at rendering Mr. F Tompkins’ visage in oil

the same graph as above, but with notable billionaires pointed out on the right axis, and some example professions and corresponding net worths pointed out on the bottom axis (e.g.: heart surgeon:$5M @ ~99%, construction:$130k @ ~45%, no savings:<$1k @ ~10%)

american wealth distribution. find yourself on the graph!
a graph of "net worth" vs "percentile" in america. at first glance, the graph looks empty. but upon further inspection, there is a line that follows the bottom and right edges: everyone has proportionally $0 in net worth relative to the top 99.999%, resulting in a line graph that is essentially a right angle. the text on the graph says "the only wealth distribution graph you need.", with a dimmer "(the line is blue)" caption, hinting the viewer to look closer.

Elon Musk tweeted a "bell curve" meme (Nov 4, 2024), putting Trump supporters at both ends of the IQ bell curve (very dumb, and very smart), while putting Kamala supporters in the middle as a crying person. The image is edited to indicate: "so Elon thinks... he's here [very smart]... I'm here [middle]... and you're... ?". In other words, Elon openly sees other Trump supporters as "very dumb", and is certainly just using them.
