The famous "turns me into a frog" tweet with an illustration.
witch: *Turns me into a frog* now suffer
me: *chilling on a leaf*
witch: wait
me: *experiencing happiness for the first time in my life*
witch: wait no

The illustration includes a simple grey-tone image of a cartoon which zapping a frog with a wand, followed by a frog sat on a leaf staring at a sunrise or sunset. The witch looks stunned. The last image is of a frog with a tear of happiness flowing from their eye.

Sorry, I don't know the original artist, or I would credit them here.

Sean Duffy: "The No Kings protest, Maria, really frustrating. This is part of antifa, paid protesters. It begs the question who's funding it."

They are generating their own violent fantasies thanks to OpenAI, one of the most dangerous tech companies operating today, and there are already millions of viewers who share such videos not knowing or not caring that they’re fake.

It's a fascinating look into the effort to drum up consent for an unprecedented crackdown on American cities.

only someone who’s never created something original in their lives would ask the guy who made the fucking Wire “what if you could skip the process of creating?” like buddy the process IS the creating

Shane @shmtann.bsky.social · 2d

sometimes judging an album by its cover is good actually. this is sick as hell

Those are three people in inflatable frog suits.

@MrAndyNgo
Now that the local and national press have started to cover the Portland ICE area round-the-clock in reaction to the President, Antifa have devised a plan where they are encouraging one another to come in animal costumes.

The costumes serve the function of masking the violent extremism to make the direct action appear like a family-friendly gathering on camera, and to whitewash the past ultraviolence.

In 2019, Antifa devised a similar plot by giving out free "milkshakes" at a protest. But they couldn't contain their bloodthirst and nearly killed me when they saw me. In 2020, they mobilized a fake "Wall of Moms" where female Antifa supporters and members wore yellow shirts to act as human body shields while violent rioters behind them hurled projectile weapons.

“Everyone who is rich enough or close enough to reactionary politics is effectively in a cult with beliefs loonier than the median Heaven’s Gate member” is a relatively straightforward description of the current moment. I don’t know how we live like this
