Who exactly is “we” here? Because there is no hyperbole here when I say that many of the policies that Trump hasclearly said he will enact will kill people. I mean God, the man wants to bomb Mexico to “get the cartels.” He wants to deport any and every asylum-seeker that came here from the south. He wants to start a global trade war, which will make necessities unaffordable. And in addition to his explicitly deadly policy platform, the man constantly vilifies anyone who is not white, anyone who is mentally ill, anyone who is homeless, anyone who challenges him even slightly - and those whom Trump vilifies, his base will attack physically.
So no. Many of us will not survive a second Trump term. And given that he has already all but guaranteed that he will never relinquish power again, a second Trump term would last for the rest of his life.
It’s that last part for me, so I’ll emphasize again…if 45 “wins” the election none of us who are NOT white nationalist christo fascists will really survive it bc said white nationalist christo fascism will stay in place whether or not Trump is even alive. His cult is giving term the proverbial foot in the door but it doesn’t matter if he drops dead day 1 of a second term, they won’t ever leave the WH again. They are telling us all this blatantly. You better start fucking believing them bc the cult base they’re saying it for right now sure does.
Look, we joke a lot, but really, “you were born evil, wretched, worse than the scum of the earth, and it took killing a god to make you salvageable, so now you’d better be grateful to that god and thank him 10,000 times a day for it and fill your thoughts with him 24/7 and abide by the letter of his every word, lest you suffer unimaginable torture for all of eternity” is a truly horrendous thing to believe about yourself and other people
doubly funny that I saw a compilation of all the corporate accounts like “aw thanks elmo, we’re doing well” meanwhile all the flesh and blood real human people are extremely not okay
Okay but Elmo had actually the best and sweetest response to all this trauma dumping:
And then all the other Sesame Street character accounts joined in:
Okay this is cool and cause Sam Neill is a kiwi and I was just thinking about what a new NZ flag could look like, heres the nz flag with the Maori flag instead of the union jack:
A.I. photos are flooding social media and contributing to an Internet where we can’t believe what we see. Spotting A.I. 📷s is an important media literacy skill.
None of us have time to research every image we see. We just need people to notice BEFORE THEY LIKE OR SHARE that an image might be fake. If unsure, check it or don’t share.
I’ve started drawing some comics explaining the basic of AI spot-checking and media literacy in the age of disinformation. Follow along here or on my Twitter.
