Pro tip for @salesforce.com brand team: skip the middle step. Go straight to TIforce now and save yourselves the second round of logo work. Gold cloud. Very elegant. Everyone's saying it. 🙄
Screenshot of an X post by Marc Benioff (@Benioff), verified, with a Salesforce affiliate badge. The post reads: "The era of Super Intelligence is here. AIForce is officially SIForce." Below is a graphic on a soft cream-to-sky-blue gradient with swirling blue and lavender ribbon shapes in the corners. In the center, the blue Salesforce cloud logo sits next to the word "SIforce," with "SI" in a shimmery, textured blue and "force" in dark navy italic. Posted 4:39 PM, 10/9/26, with 38K views.

Screenshot of a chat assistant on America.gov. The user asks, "Was Iranian government within two weeks of having a functional nuclear weapon in February 2026?" The answer begins: "No. Public U.S. and IAEA assessments available for that period do not state that Iran was within two weeks of a functional nuclear weapon in February 2026."

Perhaps a question that a senate committee should get some military and intelligence official to testify on under oath.

These statements have Lipstick Killer vibes.
The crime scene photo from the William Heirens case—the December 1945 murder of Frances Brown in Chicago, where the message "For heavens sake catch me before I kill more I cannot control myself" was written in lipstick on the wall. It's the origin of the "Lipstick Killer" nickname.

You know, I kinda think that if Trump wants to fully brand this utter debacle – a military and foreign policy failure of epic proportions – he should go for it. I suspect it would also greatly incentivize Iran to really double down. 🙄
A social media post from Donald Trump, posted on September 2, 2026: “Now that we have it under U.S.A. control, should we change the name Hormuz Strait to TRUMP STRAIT??? Like America itself, it would be "hotter" than ever before! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP”

Trump speaks at a presidential podium bearing the seal of the President of the United States, flanked by Stephen Miller, Marco Rubio and Pete Hegseth, standing at attention on either side, with U.S. flags and gold curtains behind them. Caption text at the bottom reads: “Yes, Mike. This is exactly what we want.”

This is Trumpism and the GOP. Their idea of “make America great again” is going back to the 50s – the 1850s – when black people were shackled and sold as property. It’s a racist regime, led by the stupid, the corrupt, and those with evil at their core. An “R” after your name is a modern swastika.
Haitians in chains, framed as policy communication. The white garments and shackles evoke a specific historical image the account is trading on. Screenshot of a post from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (@DHSgov, verified) via X.com. Text reads: “Haiti TPS has been TERMINATED. Those with terminated TPS are in our nation Illegally. They have two options: LEAVE IMMEDIATELY or be DEPORTED.” followed by a link, “DHS.GOV/CBPHOME.” Below the text is a dark, low-light photo of two people in white hooded sweatshirts standing outdoors at night. The person in the foreground faces away from the camera; their hands are cuffed and chained behind their back. One hand is raised near their face. A light source glows in the upper background.

Political cartoon by Slyngstad. Donald Trump’s distinctive jagged signature is drawn so that its tall, pointed peaks form a row of Ku Klux Klan figures in white hoods, each with narrowed, menacing eyes. Below the drawing, handwritten text reads “-Donald J. Trump”

Two travelers with rolling suitcases stand at what looks like an airport terminal. The man groans “UGH” and complains, “WE GOT HERE WAY TOO EARLY.” The wide bottom panel reveals just how early: their “plane” is the Wright brothers’ original wooden flyer, with Orville and Wilbur Wright still building it. The joke is a pun on being “early”—not early for their flight, but centuries early, back at the dawn of aviation.

The Best Years of Our Lives (1946) – a William Wyler film with Myrna Loy and Frederic March. How can you go wrong? Planes, Trains and Automobiles is wonderful and charming. Planet of the Apes nails the homecoming twist: the world he fights to escape turns out to be his own ruined Earth all along
The final scene of Planet of the Apes (1968) — Taylor and Nova on horseback on a beach, dwarfed by the half-buried, corroded remains of the Statue of Liberty tilting out of the sand and rocks, revealing that the “alien” planet was Earth all along.

Alt text: A three-panel collage of the White House. The left panel (full height) shows a close-up of the white neoclassical facade with arched fanlight windows, columns, and decorative pediments. The top right panel is an aerial view of a large arch structure being raised by cranes over a paved area behind the White House, surrounded by staging equipment and workers. The bottom right panel shows an ornate gold-and-white interior where two men in suits stand between gilded built-in bookshelves, beneath framed portraits and beside a classical pedimented doorway.

I’m an American who played both sports for years: You’ll sometimes see hurlers wear what’s called an ash guard – fingerless gloves that are worn on the non-dominant (catching) hand, that have some padding over the knuckles and back of the hand, mostly to protect your hand from opponents sticks.

They rescheduled this whole thing to honor a war criminal and insurrectionist. The White House pre-billed Trump’s speech as “unifying yet vicious.” The WHCA is fine with someone who is bent on jailing them. This is the most pathetic organization. These people have zero credibility.

A satirical cartoon illustration in the style of The Simpsons, depicting six anthropomorphic beer bottles as a parody of the Seven Duffs. Each bottle has a yellow cartoon face, white gloves, and a red label with their name. From left to right: Sexy, who has a smug expression and a speech bubble reading “Sexy looks out for one guy – Sexy.”; Binary, wearing round glasses with a skeptical, open-mouthed expression; Fluid, with arms crossed and a cool, aloof smirk; Nonby, with a calm, gentle smile and hands clasped; Spectrum, with a rainbow mohawk, an enthusiastic grin, and a peace sign; and Extra, wearing pink star-shaped sunglasses, grinning wildly, and making rock-and-roll hand gestures with one leg kicked up. Each character’s name appears on their red label and again as a bold caption beneath them. White background.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

He is wearing a teal short-sleeve button-up shirt, white rolled-cuff trousers, and white sneakers. A tattoo sleeve is visible on his right forearm. He is holding a medium-sized golden-brown mixed breed dog with large ears, who is lounging beside him on the ottoman with legs stretched out. The man is looking slightly off-camera with a broad, natural smile.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Staggeringly dishonest people, who have zero respect for their constituents.
Screenshot of a tweet posted at 5:27 AM on April 30, 2026, quoting Senator Tim Scott saying: “The fact of the matter is that all of the cylinders are kicking. It is good news. You can even feel in our environment how good things are getting. Gas prices continue to come down, which means your groceries will come down a little bit as well. We’ve got a lot of good signs in the economy.” The phrase “Gas prices continue to come down” is highlighted in yellow. Embedded in the tweet is a screenshot of a Fox Business “Mornings with Maria” segment showing Tim Scott speakingLine chart showing gasoline futures prices in USD per gallon over a one-year period (approximately May 2025 through April 2026). Prices began around $2.00–$2.10, dipped to a low near $1.75 around early 2026, then surged sharply to a current price of $3.5439 — a decline of $0.0483 (−1.34%) on the day. The steep upward climb from roughly $2.25 to above $3.50 occurred over the final few months of the period shown.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

A cream and golden-tan Silken Windhound reclines regally on an orange upholstered armchair, one long feathered leg draped over the armrest. The dog gazes directly at the camera with dark, attentive eyes. Behind it rests a decorative throw pillow printed with a hare motif — an irony the dog appears entirely unbothered by. Warm, dim ambient lighting gives the scene a painterly quality.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Screenshot of a post by Donald Trump showing an AI-generated image depicting himself in the pose and visual iconography of Jesus Christ performing a faith healing — his hand on the forehead of a recumbent ill man, radiating divine light. Trump wears white robes with a red sash. Surrounding figures include a praying woman, a soldier, a nurse, and men in MAGA caps, all gazing upward reverently. The background features an American flag, bald eagles, the Statue of Liberty, fireworks, military jets, and ascending angelic figures bathed in heavenly light. The image borrows directly from Christian devotional painting conventions to present Trump as a messianic savior figure.

I look forward to seeing ICE in action at our Airports. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DONALD J. TRUMP”
