The Elvis Costello song Oliver’s Army is appropriate here.
But there’s no danger…
It’s a professional career
Though it could be arranged
With just a word in Mister Churchill’s ear
If you’re out of luck or out of work
We could send you to Johannesburg
Oliver’s army is here to stay
Oliver’s army are on their way
And I would rather be anywhere else but here today
I appreciate that the states that sent national guard troops are exactly who you would expect.
Washington DC is on the border of two states, Virginia and Maryland. It’s close to equidistant to three other states: Pennsylvania, Delaware, and West Virginia.
It’s an easy guess which of these states is backward enough to send National guard troops to combat “crime.”
If you zoom out more, the states that have sent troops are a “who’s who” of the worst states to live in. South Carolina, Ohio, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Tennessee. Source.
C.R.M.L.S. and a few homeowners told The Times they questioned the validity of property-level forecasts, and C.R.M.L.S. said it grew “suspicious” when models showed high flood risk in places that hadn’t flooded in decades.
Who wants to tell them that floods don’t always just target the same places all the time?
This is very cool, thanks for sharing!
I did a similar exercise a decade ago with HTTP and it was fun and eye-opening.
Seems like very thinly veiled advertising for a new version of google’s ai image generation.
If AI is getting this good at imitating the things that signal a photo is real, then guys: We are cooked.
“We are cooked, fellow kids!”
The author also pretty much says “all other AI was slop before this, right guys?”
The extra hand in the second panel could expand this to a third panel.
Pan over… and he’s already in the car! Rrrrrrrrrt
Hopefully that makes sense.
Yuck, the cult-like mentality is truly pathetic.
“Dear leader noticed me!”
In a follow-up post, Tajik wrote that he has been working long hours for many years, and it’s how he went from almost being homeless in 2020 to joining xAI.
In 2020, he was in college. He graduated in 2023. By that measure, I was “almost” homeless and worked long hours in college too.
“Working long hours for many years” is hysterical, he is a 25-year-old child.
SSX series—? Err
This kind of news website isn’t even trying to be usable any more.
The author is right.
The slightly more likely outcome is that Trump gets wind that Ceballos was a staunch Republican voter and, more importantly, a Trump voter/supporter, and will figure out a way to not enforce the deportation order that, by all rights, should be carried out based on all the things that this administration has said about illegal immigrants and its plans for them.
My bet is that this will go away because he’s “one of the good ones.”
No one in the town will see the irony, they’ll just keep voting (illegally, in some cases) for morons.
This administration is still trying to deport Kilmar Garcia but they’ll find a way to quickly forgive the guy who voted for them.
Animation appropriately says “what is up hommies.”
AI couldn’t tell you it’s spelled “homies”?
Oh my god, no I haven’t. Thank you for sharing them!
This kind of organized chaos is amazing!
Gazza was/is Paul Gascione, an English footballer.
I would argue it’s because you’re on lemmy.ml, and people who are obsessed with stuff like this think it really means something instead of being one of the more popular instances.
Misogyny is a made up myth, you’re right! Here let me highlight the important part for you, dummy.
misogyny isn’t just about whether the target is female
This is true. The effects are more than just on women.
I feel true pity for you. Please go away. Downvote first though!
This is some ostrich-head-in-the-sand lack of awareness.
And yet I blocked them months ago because of all of the insane rage spam. They might post other things but I can’t with the rage.
I clicked on the account and was like “oh hey that checks out.” So I looked from another account.
Literally the post we’re talking about has “cumrags” in the title.
Sorry, no thanks. When someone tells you who they are, believe them the first time.
Oh I’m sure someone who immediately resorts to “you disgusting piece of shit” is usually on the level.
Like, what the fuck? That’s an insane overreaction to someone pointing out that “cumrag” isn’t super friendly.
“Homophobia,” ok. Ban me from the silly meme community too, then.
This is of course quite telling!
From Wikipedia:
And yet only 38% of republicans disapproved.
Thank god that 38% gets more voting power than everyone else, right? What could go wrong?
