A generated sign, in the style of Zohran Mamdani's campaign sign/slogan (yellow text on a blue background), with the text "Porno For Pyros".

Joe: "Democrats - are you ready to fight?"

Also Joe: "yeah man, fuck addressing climate change and doing equal rights or whatever for gay, trans, and queer folks and stuff."
A skeet from Joe Walsh that says: "Duh. Those of us on the ground last year actually speaking with middle/working class voters and who heard from these voters every single day the same - 'Trump is an asshole, but Democrats are out of touch' - could've saved my new political party a lot of time & money producing this 'report'", in response to a Twitter post explaining that a survey finds that 70% of voters think the Dem Party is "out of touch" and spends too much time on LGBTQ+ issues and climate change and insufficient time on stuff like "lowering the rate of crime."

Hey, @helmerva.bsky.social - this text messaging campaign from (lol, jfc) "James Carville" is shitty and super condescending.
An incredibly condescending Democratic Party fundraising campaign text message purportedly from "James Carville" that reads: It's James Carville — what gives??!! Have you been waiting for me to tell you to step up and keep Virginia blue? Dan Helmer, my good friend, is working with his team at Secure Progress to elect the entire Virginia House Democratic Caucus on Nov. 4th — 10 days away (that's fewer than the number of days Trump works all year)!! I almost blew a gasket when Dan told me he'd asked for grassroots supporters like you to pitch in to help fund their FINAL voter outreach efforts, but he's heard nothing! CRICKETS! Don’t be a downer and hang on the sidelines and get in the fight with me and Dan before it's too late! Any amount helps — hell, even $25 — it all makes a big impact. When I speak with Dan next, I wanna hear that we kept Virginia blue and put MAGA’s agenda in the grave. If we want to win, we have to keep a voter communication program like this running. So you need to wake up and smell the roses — this election campaign is expensive to run. When we spend more, we reach more voters. The Democratic majority hangs by one seat, so we need to redouble our efforts ASAP. (See? I made it so simple that even Trump could understand it.) Go! Go! Go! James Carville

Look, I'm no proverbial "spring chicken," and admittedly I'm not keen to "shame" anyone but, like, wtf is this.
A cropped image of the belly of an "ICE" "agent," suggesting that they are kinda out of shape. Hint: they're probably not actually "agents," but glorified wannabes "deputized" by modern Nazis like Stephen "Temu Goebbels" Miller, Tom "I Am An Actual Bitch" Homan," and Kristi "Puppy-Killing, Plastic-Injected, Totally-Co-Running-The-DHS-With-Her-Boy-Toy" Noem.

OK, sure, but we can still recognize and call out the shitty things, too. C'mon ... clerk.house.gov/Votes/2025282
A screenshot from the Office of the Clerk, U.S. House of Representatives website showing that Rep Jamie Raskin voted "YEA" in favor of "honoring the life and legacy of Charlie Kirk."

On the left: former Brazilian President Jair Bolsanaro (convicted of attempting a coup, because he is a jackass) has a derpy expression with his top teeth showing; on the right, a still of Andy Samberg from the "Jizzed In My Pants" music video, also with a derpy look, baring his top teeth with his top lip curled. The juxtaposition of these images is to make fun of Bolsanaro because he sucks.

A snippet of the image in the quoted skeet shows the text "...road. That's how we're going to save this country." A mysterious, bespectacled man named "Matt" (played by Walton Goggins in the "2nd Amendment" SNL skit) looks perplexed by what is being said, and replies with "Bro, what?" (as shown in the closed-captioning text beneath him.

Can't say I was too jazzed about getting this (Google) ad while on Imgflip a moment ago. Also, fuck ICE.
A Google Ad showing Uncle Sam with the words "Defend The Homeland," "Join ICE Today" and "Paid For by DHS." In case you weren't aware, this is a fascist ad by fascist US government agencies. Fuck ICE. Fuck DHS. Fuck the Trump regime.

1. Somehow, this tracks. Erlich Bachman lookin' ass

2. "...[b]ut what Fable is shopping around right now sounds like yet another attempt at using AI to do something that human artists are already quite capable of doing much, much better..." basically sums up why this is all slop shit in the end.
Edward Saatchi, a rather pale, bleary-eyed (possibly stoned?) man with poofy, red curls stares to the left of the camera (his right). Perhaps he is wondering how to use generative AI to continue to fuck over the planet and make loads of money, whilst claiming he is somehow helping "ThE pOoR iNdIe ArTiStS" who can't afford good VFX. Really, though, he's probably just a dick.

d'awww, look at how happy this dipshit is by all the fascism.
A laughably horrible jackass of a fascist is smiling. (Specifically, JD Vance, the Vice President of the United States, is amused/pleased by something his boss, another laughably horrible jackass of a fascist, is saying).

Come on, Hourman... you know you wanna.
The comic book character "Hourman," wearing a black suit and yellow cape, is leaping through the air while saying "it's going to take everything I have not to snap this fascist's neck."

Gabe, Jeffries was too busy posing for a tuff guy photo shoot. C'mon.
US House Representative Hakeem Jeffries standing in an office, wearing an ill-fitting light blue or off-white button-down shirt, tucked into ill-fitting pants; and sneakers. He is holding a baseball bat in an attempt to be menacing, but it just comes off looking like an adolescent's attempt at being scary. The caption reads: "House Democrats will keep the pressure on Trump's One Big Ugly Bill" followed by a "muscle flex" emoji. Truly, this is a stupid image and the only thing threatening to anyone is his complacency with the ensuring that establishment Democrats continue to drift further to the right.

It's real.

A screenshot of a tweet from California Governor Gavin Newsom. It reads: "U.S. Marines serve a valuable purpose for this country -- defending democracy. They are not political pawns. The Secretary of Defense is illegally deploying them onto American streets so Trump can have a talking point at his parade this weekend. It’s a blatant abuse of power. We will sue to stop this. The Courts and Congress must act. Checks and balances are crumbling. This is a red line — and they’re crossing it. WAKE UP!"

It seems like most if not all of them are currently "invalid," despite the correct DNS TXT records being there, e.g., "_atproto.sanders.senate.gov".
A screenshot of a terminal running the following command: "dig +short txt _atproto.sanders.senate.gov" -- to look up the DNS TXT record for Senator Bernie Sanders' custom BlueSky handle -- showing the correct response: "did=did:plc:upw5n2uwhzubjajdtqaufsek"

A nuclear blast vaporizes someone standing by a fence adjacent to a playground. Sarah Connor (played by Linda Hamilton), from "Terminator 2: Judgment Day", wakes up in a mild panic, revealing this as her nightmare.

IDK why, but this comes to mind.
Principal Seymour Skinner, from the animated show "The Simpsons," looking introspective in the first frame. In the second, he expresses amazement at some kind of revelation. In the original scene, he first says, "Am I so out of touch? No, it's the children who are wrong."

Yep, *BUSTED*! That's me, trying to "aid fascism" by "attacking" Vichy Dems for inaction. Mind you, this is an account that also says "old guard" is a "slur" used by "far leftists [attempting to] take over the left."

More like "Truth Social Sandwich," amirite?

bsky.app/profile/trut...
A skeet by some liberal troll account (called "Truth Sandwich") accusing me of aiding fascism through "attacking" Democrats by demanding they do more than just post on social media. First post reads: "TIL it's a 'stupid attack' to demand that Democrats do more than post on social media." The reply from "Truth Sandwich" reads: "It's a stupid attack to pretend that, when they post on social media, they're not doing anything else. It's a stupid attack that hurts Ds and helps Rs. Why are you trying to aid fascism?!"

"...and here is what we're going to do about it (instead of posting photos of fake album covers): [~then you fill in this part and follow it up with actual action~]."
A bus driver from "The Simpsons" says, "don't make me tap the sign" in the first frame; then, in the second frame, taps a sign that reads "stop posting and do something about it."
