On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

I’m sorry you liked it before you hated it. Must be hard.

The last one! Heart of Portland.

How about “Hey! overhere Proudboys!”

Ugh. Spare me the “if only everyone behaved as I did” sob story.

Yeah, it was a moment of inspiration and this one hit. I wasn’t going for
“Let’s pay an artist and topple
Orange Moussalini” I was just riffing on the moment with tools we have.

I asked ChatGPT to mock it up from the Shepard Fairey Obama image that’s is famous and an image I found of the frog costume. After several interactions, this is what is produced. I take no credit or wish to hide its origins. PLEASE USE IT!!

Amazing Emergency Naked Ride. Here’s the moment thousands of riders rolled through the protests at the ICE facility and cheers erupted. 😮💯

The naked bike ride is a big deal here. I’ve never heard of an emergency one, so trump must be really bad.

An emergency naked bike ride is such an intriguingly and outstandingly Portland (OR)-specific activity

My wife and I very much enjoyed this essay. I also do not and have never like roller coasters, and I’m in no hurry to like them! But at 6’3”, much of the standardized world is uncomfortable. Lol.

Witness a painted clown who rewrites history in crayon, blaming Biden for the mob he cheered from his throne of cheeseburgers. In Trump’s Twilight Zone, the arsonist blames the fire marshal, accountability is fake news and delusion is patriotic. The true insurrection is against truth itself.

That’s it. I’m not hiding how it was made. Nor was it made to go viral. I thought it was a funny concept. The world moves pretty fast, so I had this thing made for my own entertainment. It turned out funny and so I shared it. Compared the amount of actual garbage out there, this is harmless, imho 🤷‍♂️

Russia wins their multi-generational war to end the United States experiment.

I’m now convinced the entire religious right and right wing news-sphere was a giant Russian PsyOp.

They run the country by proxy through what they show Trump on TV, and directly through Pirro and Hegseth. It’s a trap.

Zachary “Mushroom” Hunter @bonforage.bsky.social · 17h

Oh sorry got it.

I didn’t create it. Hence the offer to use it generously without credit. And how is AI antithetical to the antifascist movement? And how is your fascist attitude antithetical to the antifascist movement. Jesus. I made an image dummy. It got shared. I’m not the threat, dipshit.
