Screenshot because I don’t want to bother the person about a typo, but I really did stare at this for about ten seconds thinking about how you would comment on someone’s speciation as news.
A screenshot of a post which itself contains a screenshot of a headline “Laura Loomer speculates about shooter's identity” and comments, in part, “odd that the Post would write up someone's speciation as if it's news.”

The road goes ever on and on… in this case back inside for breakfast. This is a picture of my dogs. #Dogs #DogsOfBlueSky #DogsOfMastodon
A small black toy poodle in a turquoise sweater leads the way, followed by a tiny blonde toy poodle in a pink sweater. They’re going back home for breakfast.

I’ll note that this is most likely a “leftist” doing some trolling, and not a sincere conservative with an amazing lack of self awareness, but it’s still funny.
A screenshot from Quora with a question posted with the “political discourse” tag. The question reads, “I get in a lot of debates with left-wingers. They often bring up facts and statistics in those debates that don't fit with my narrative. How do I deal with these facts? Can I make them go away or something?”

May I suggest living in an apartment building with legal immigrants and citizens of hispanic ancestry, and waiting for the nice masked men with the tear gas and guns to show up? Then you can share your perspective.
A headline, “Katie Miller Says Harassment Forced Family From Home: 'No Longer Safe for Our Kids'” and byline, “by Andrew Powell, November 14, 2025 at 8:45 pm.” Below is a photo with the caption, “White House Deputy Chief of Staff for policy and US Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller and his wife Katie Miller attend the Congressional Picnic on the South Lawn of the White House on June 12, 2025. (Photo by Saul Loeb, AFP.)”

We’ve heard that you’re eating lunch. Would you like some help with that?

A tiny blonde toy poodle and small silver and black toy poodle very ready to help with lunch, especially the eating part.

Another one for the collection, thanks. He’s not there at the very start but definitely enjoying the ride.
Chart of total number of incarcerated Americans 1920-2014. There is a dramatic increase starting around 1980. There’s a tiny Ronald Reagan surfing on the start of the slope at 1984.

I had completely forgotten this (it was 19 years ago), but whoa, long history of sex pests in the GOP, eh?
A screenshot from Wikipedia describes the “Mark Foley Scandal,” centered on “soliciting emails and sexually suggestive instant messages sent by Mark Foley, a Republican congressman from Florida, to teenaged boys who had formerly served as congressional pages.”

I’ve started a collection.
A graph with a tiny Ronald Reagan at 1984, the point where he was elected and the point where the line representing the US veers away to the right, showing a massive increase in healthcare costs with very little to show in terms of life expectancy, and also US life expectancy falling below other wealthy nations.

A graph with a tiny Ronald Reagan at the point where the incomes of the richest people start rising out of all proportion to everyone else’s. The graph is titled “Growth in Incomes at the Very Top, 1917–2006 (in 2006 Dollars) (Source: Emmanuel Saez’s computations from IRS income tax statistics, http://elsa.berkeley.edu/~saez).”

It’s getting chilly in the morning. Time to break out the hoodies and sweaters. These are pictures of my dogs. #Dogs #DogsOfBlueSky #DogsOfMastodon
A small silver and black toy poodle wearing a gray hoodie carefully inspects a lawn. A tiny blonde toy poodle wearing a light pink sweater inspects the edge of a lawn. She thinks there should be more snacks here.

I’m unreasonably proud of this.
A document, in Japanese, showing that I completed the Fukuoka Marathon 2025, with a net time of five hours, twenty-four minutes, and thirty-two seconds, which isn’t bad for a first marathon, I think.

Today they are being very helpful. These are pictures of my dogs. #Dogs
A tiny blonde toy poodle is sitting on my lap (not clearly visible but under the tiny dog) with her head on my computer desk next to the keyboard, helping. A small black toy poodle is lying down curled up on the duvet on top of my bed, helpfully keeping the duvet and bed safe from people who would take away my bed or duvet, and making it warm if I want to lie down.

Every day is a journey
… to visit trees and shrubs nearby
… and pee on them.

Like, this guy should not be a manager at McDonald’s.
Text from the article, reading as follows: Discussing civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr., he told the group in January 2024, "MLK Jr. was the 1960s George Floyd and his 'holiday' should be ended and tossed into the seventh circle of hell where it belongs," the texts showed. Using an Italian slur for Black people, Ingrassia wrote in December 2023, per the text: "No moulignon holidays ... From kwanza [sic] to mlk jr day to black history month to Juneteenth," then added: "Every single one needs to be eviscerated."

A tiny blonde toy poodle and a small black toy poodle are standing on the floor, looking up at the camera. They are making clear that they have noticed toast being made. A tiny blonde toy poodle and small black toy poodle are sitting, showing how politely they can wait. The tiny blonde toy poodle is in the center of the picture, standing up again and in mid bark. The small black toy poodle is off to the side, standing but trying to preserve a sense of decorum. The tiny toy poodle is landing after having jumped up on her rear legs while barking, and her ears are flying out behind her head in a way that is absolutely adorable. The black toy poodle is still off to the side being more patient.

Walter Bloomberg (@DeItaone) posts, in shouting all-caps, “Sam Altman says OpenAI will allow erotica for adult users!” @ratlimit quote posts that, adding, “Your cock isn't just big—it's enormous. I'm delighted to suck it off! Let's dive right in and get you to unload… Is there a coworker you'd like me to impersonate?”

“Got any more toast?”

A tiny blonde (well-aged apricot) toy poodle on the left and a small black-turning-silver toy poodle on the right are politely waiting for more toast to go with their toast.

Maybe screen readers can read these wall of text posts, but just in case this helps a couple more people read it.
A post by “zeldawilliams” that reads: Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. Its dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want. To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough', just so other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it. Gross. A follow up post that reads: And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future'. AI is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.
