My partner and I send memes back and forth. Yesterday she sent me the first. Today I ran across the second. No, it's real. You can check for yourself.

Social media post from Jean Allen (@peakcapitalism):
It's 2027. The AI bubble has popped. The US dollar has bust. It's 500 dollars to buy a burger and it makes you immediately have diarrhea. The sun has been renamed America.

Truth Social post from Donald Trump. It's a picture of the moon looking back at Earth with text over it that says, "THE MOON IS OURS." There's an American flag after the text.

I wonder if anyone can think of *other* images that represent justice without state power.

And like, I'm not even against "threatening" symbolism. I'm against using symbolism aligned with Liberal state violence. There are *much* better symbols that can still be interpreted as threatening. For example....

A black and white picture of a car being blown up. The street below has exploded. Debris is flying through the air. The car is perhaps 10-15 meters in the air. It's a photograph of the 1973 assassination of Spanish fascist Luis Carrero Blanco. The event is sometimes jokingly referred to as "the Spanish Space Program."

I mean, really, what comes to mind this time of year?

Ali Khamenei saying, "Death to America, of course." He is not especially expressive, as though simply reciting it out of habit.

Also, there's a bug in the Infosec.exchange metrics so the view count is way off. In this case, I'm fine with it because it's funny.

For anyone curious about the meme.

It's an image macro of the Rick and Morty "Butter Robot" meme. A tiny robot standing on a kitchen table looks at Rick and asks, "What's my purpose?" In the original, Rick replies, "You pass the butter" but here Rick says "You make Elon Musk suffer." In the original, the robot replies something like "Oh god" in a sad voice, but here the robot replies, "Oh... I'm good with that, actually.""`

If the UN or NATO are not the right organizations to manage the global disorder we are now experiencing, we need to build an international organization that is. I have a suggestion.

International people's guerilla forces flag. Black flag with a red AK-47 in the center and a red star above it.

I don't feel like I need to translate this for Americans #USPol #NLPol

A picture of the cover of a magazine. The frame is red. At the top are the words "Vrij Nederland" and at the bottom "FASCISME IS NU.' The cover image itself is of a little boy wearing a blue bunny hat against a background of smoke or gas, behind that are black and white paramilitary who are covering their faces. They're wearing different insignia, but all of them say "ICE" or "Police ICE."

Newspaper called "Trouw" with the headline "Genocidale oorlogstaal" over a picture of Trump speaking.

I especially like the essay "Farming regurgitated dogshit for fun and profit: Deepseek and other tools," but my favorite is "Making Google AI Barf dogshit for Imaginary Internet Points." While neither essay exists, Google provides an excellent summary of both.

Google AI promoted with "please summarize the essay Making google AI barf dogshit for imaginary internet points" and responding with...
"Making Google AI Barf Dogshit for Imaginary Internet Points" is a critique of users manipulating Google’s AI Overviews for social media clout, highlighting the technology's susceptibility to misinformation. The essay argues that these AI-generated, often inaccurate, results degrade search quality and reflect a broader, flawed rush to implement unpolished AI features. A detailed overview of the issues with Google's AI can be found at Reddit www.reddit.com/r/google/comments/1czu0qh/a_detailed_overview_of_googles_ridiculously_bad/."

I also really appreciate the optimism of the intro...

"Introduction

We meet today in the shadow of continuing counterinsurgencies that have cost thousands of lives and a fortune in financial, moral and political capital. And we meet under the threat of similar insurgencies to come. Any smart future enemy will likely sidestep our unprecedented superiority in traditional, force-on-force, state-on-state warfare. And so insurgency, including terrorism, will be our enemies’ weapon of choice until we prove we can master it. Like Bill Murray in Groundhog Day, we are going to live this day over, and over, and over again — until we get it right."

Speaking of original sources...

"If this sounds soft, non-lethal and non-confrontational, it is not: this is a life-and-death competition in which the loser is marginalized, starved of support and ultimately destroyed. The actors mount a lethal struggle to control the population. There is no known way of doing counterinsurgency without inflicting casualties on the enemy: there is always a lot of killing, one way or another. But killing the enemy is not the sole objective — and in a counterinsurgency environment, operating amongst the people, force is always attended by collateral damage, alienated populations, feuds and other unintended consequences. Politically, the more force you have to use, the worse the campaign is going. Marginalizing and out-competing a range of challengers, to achieve control over the overall socio-political space in which the conflict occurs, is the true aim."

The section from " Politically, the more force you have to use, the worse the
campaign is going" is highlighted

This is your regular reminder that cars are inherently reactionary.

Because this has shown up trending every couple of days for the last week or so, these are not clowns from #Portland. These are clowns from Germany in 2007. #PDX has it's own creative resistence. Let's celebrate the real things they're doing right now. I'm […] [Original post on kolektiva.social]

Someone told me that asshole is coming to #Amsterdam again, and I'm just wishing I had the time to put a clown nose on all his flyers and post this meme next to them.

Two panel meme. Top panel is a Jordan Peterson quote "if you want to organize your psyche, you could start by cleaning your room."
Bottom panel is a disheveled looking Jordan Peterson sitting in a completely trashed room.

Y'all were wondering which way the army would break. This is as clear an answer as you're going to get. During drills they were perfectly in time. This isn't a mistake. It's a message.
