It's bad enough that he's a mass murderer with legal impunity. It's downright humiliating that he's such a corny doofus too

If you're producing AI slop content because you don't want to pay graphic designers, fine, whatever. I don't like it, but that's at least a legible rationale I can understand. What's the thinking with not even bothering to do a basic quality check?

Politics slop on my fb feed. I assumed that Rehmet must be Hinojosa's twin but it turns out they don't look anything alike!

AI slop from FB. Shows poll results for various politicians and different races. Rehmet just looks like Hinojosa but with a different haircut.

What Rehmet actually looks like. He's a white man with a thick beard

RABID BAT FOUND ON SIDEWALK
On Tuesday, September 15 at about 12pm, a bat was found on the sidewalk on Hennepin Ave between N. Washington Ave and N 3°St.
The bat died and was sent for rabies testing. This bat tested positive for
rabies.
A woman was seen crouching by the bat and putting it into a bag. She was described as a 25-to-30-year-old white woman, about 5'5", with curly brown hair and a curly-haired golden retriever-like dog. If this was you, please call 911 and ask to be connected to Animal Care & Control.
Bites from bats are tiny, may be painless, and may not leave a mark. An person who had physical contact or touched this bat should talk with health care provider this weekend for assessment. During the week, Minnesota Department of Health can also provide rabies assessments at 651-201-5414.
If vou did not touch or have any contact with the bat, you have no risk of rabies and do not need shots.

BREAKING: Human rights and anti-war organizations are launching a campaign to demand the top Biden officials who promoted or lied about the Gaza genocide be boxed out from future Democratic administrations and other liberal spaces. Rashida Tlaib & Chris Rabb signed on. More expected to join.

EXCLUSIVE: Biden’s Genocide Accomplices Targeted by New Accountability Campaign

#DroptheGenocide20 demands Biden admin aides who enabled the Gaza genocide not be given roles in liberal spaces – like the role it turns out JD Vance pursued in 2016, when he ‘hated’ Trump.

No such thing as "progressive except for Palestine." If a politician supports occupation and genocide, every other issue or value--even something as basic as support for public education--becomes expendable.

ICE has fallen out of the headlines but July marked the largest number of migrant detentions ever on record. Five migrants have died in ICE custody in the last two months. It's also currently impossible to legally migrate to this country, as 100% of visa applications have been paused.

I'm not sure there's a bigger source of misinformation on Facebook than their shitty AI search bar. "Steffi Graf confirmed dead." That isn't true. Steffi Graf is not dead, and Charlie Brown didn't have hoes.
