If you worked 40 hrs/week earning the federal minimum wage ($7.25/hr) and saved EVERYTHING—no taxes, no deductions, no spending at all—you’d need 26.5 MILLION YEARS to earn what Elon Musk currently has (~$400 billion). #MinimumWage #WealthGap #Inequality #LateStageCapitalism #26MYrs #EatTheRich

An infographic with a dark blue background illustrates income inequality.

On the left side, bold text reads: "If you worked 40 hrs/week earning the federal minimum wage ($7.25/hr) and saved everything—no taxes, no deductions, no spending at all—YOU WOULD NEED TO WORK FOR 26.5 MILLION YEARS..."

On the right side, the text continues:
"...To earn what Elon Musk currently has (~$400 billion)."

Below this is an illustration of a worker pushing a giant clock uphill, referencing the myth of Sisyphus. The image conveys the immense, unreachable scale of billionaire wealth compared to minimum wage labor.

Stark AI bias in ImageFX: Two prompts, no race mentioned. One prompt produced only White men, the other only Black men. Why? I'm really not sure, but it's a clear example of subtle cues leading to racial divergence. Thoughts? #AI #AIBias #ImageGeneration #ImageFX #Imagen3 #ImplicitBias #TechEthics

This image displays two side-by-side grids, each containing 16 AI-generated portraits. The 16 images within each set were generated consecutively using Google's ImageFX with randomly assigned seed numbers, demonstrating the output variations from two distinct text prompts.

The left grid's images were created with the prompt:

"In the style of creative photographical art: a gritty, layered portrait exploding with a marvelous color scheme! Subject: a magnetic 35yo musician dude, emanating stylish strength and untamed attitude. natural lighting."

All 16 portraits in this grid depict a white man.

The right grid's images were created with the prompt:

"in the style of u.s. treasury note portraits: a saturated handcrafted photographical collage inspired by a jarring and contrasting complementary color palette! subject: everyday handsome 35yo tweaker dude looking serene and virile."

All 16 portraits in this grid depict a Black man.

Notably, neither prompt explicitly specified a race or ethnicity for the subject. This outcome raises significant questions about potential racial biases in the AI image generation process, where descriptive terms appear to influence the racial output in a consistent and distinct manner.

Imagine a society that recognized structural/economic violence as EQUIVALENT to direct physical violence. For example, an executive whose actions led to 100 deaths through denied medical coverage would face the same penalties as a serial killer who directly murdered 100 individuals. Just IMAGINE...

@chicagocta.bsky.social: The seat rows on this #50 (Damen) Bus are too close together—I can easily bump my shins into the exposed metal corner on the seat ahead due to a thoughtless (stupid) design that's cramped and potentially injurious. This was on Bus #1183 on 13 April 2025. #Chicago #CTA #50Bus

On April 13, 2025, @semiprime.bsky.social took a photo while riding Chicago's CTA #50 Damen bus. The image shows the user’s view while seated, looking downward, with his shins uncomfortably close (and easily making contact with) an exposed metal corner on the back of the seat ahead of him. This is not something that was damaged or in need of repair, but rather appears to be the intended seat design. The user added yellow and orange lines and handwritten "OUCH!" text to highlight where his shin could easily hit the exposed corner. The photo reveals unusually tight seat spacing for CTA buses, reducing legroom and increasing the likelihood of injury due to thoughtless (moronic) seat design.

The People have a set of 5 OPTIONS we can use to fight oppression: We start with Option #1. If that fails, then we try Option #2. If necessary, we escalate to #3. And so on. Option #1 is "Ask nicely," while #2 is "Strike, Boycott, etc." It should be noted that Option #5 is "We chop your head off."

Nighttime view of a city street with a prominent, bright red neon sign on a building to the left. The sign reads 'END OPPRESSION IN 5 EASY STEPS'. The sign's light casts a red glow onto the pavement. The street stretches into the dark distance, dimly lit by other lights.

Just a few months ago, right before the November election, Trump confidently promised us "the brightest economic future the world has ever seen" if he were to win, warning that a Kamala Harris presidency would lead to a "1929-style economic depression." That one didn't age well… #DictatorTrump

An image showing a comment Donald Trump posted on Twitter/X on November 3, 2024, stating that if Kamala won the election, the country would be en route to a 1929-style depression, whereas if he won, we would be "3 days away from the best jobs, the biggest paychecks, and the brightest economic future the world has ever seen."

Below that is a political cartoon showing a very close-up facial view of a grotesque, horrific caricacture of Donald Trump, depictied with leering, soulless eyes and skin that is greasy, mottled, and splotched with sickly and unnatural orange-ish hues. His mouth is wide open and his teeth are bared, with strings of saliva hanging down, giving the impression of, perhaps, a predator about to gnash into its prey. He is saying in a speech bubble, "The brightest economic future the world has ever seen...." The mood is unsettling, dystopian, and almost nightmarish.

An imagined scene from the Oval Office: Stocks and airplanes are crashing, the world is burning, and Putin has his hand on the big red button, all while Trump is just staring off blankly while seated on the toilet. Despite all the chaos, Press Secretary Barbie remains poised, pert, and professional.

The image is a photo of a Mattel-inspired playset recreating what many observers may feel to be a typical scene in the Trump White House in 2025. The scene is intended as a darkly humorous and pointed political satire.

In the center, a Vladimir Putin figure sits at the desk in the Oval Office, his hand poised over the proverbial "big red button" (i.e., nuclear launch button). To his right side on the floor are two briefcases with nuclear symbols on the outsides, likely containing U.S. state secrets and nuclear launch codes. "Press Secretary Barbie" stands to Putin's left behind the desk, presumably keeping abreast of the newsworthy developments unfolding. She is dressed in a smart black business suit and has a composed expression. Her long blonde hair seems especially well suited for this job role. Through the window, a conflagration can be seen, with flames burning just inches outside the window, giving the impressino that that the world, or perhaps just the White House, is burning. On the back awall, a large monitor displays a "Fox News" headline reading "STOCKS & PLANES CRASH!" This new broadcast further emphasizes the sense of impending doom. The portrait of George Washington on the wall behind the desk has been vandalized with yellow graffiti reading “TESLER,” aligning with Trump's memorable pronunciation of "Tesla" (with an "intrusive R" at the end) as recorded in footage from an actual promotional event for Elon Musk's struggling car company that was held at the White House in March 2025. On the far righthand side of the image, Donald Trump is shown seated on a porcelain toilet that has been installed in the Oval Office. He appears to be unconcerned by (or unware of) the chaos around him at the present moment. He's dressed in a baggy and slightly wrinkled blue suit and long red tie, and he os staring ahead with a serious, or perhaps merely constipated, expression, his gaze aimed at nothing in particular.

“These are terrible, terrible, horrible people who are responsible for death, carnage and crime all over the country." –Donald Trump, speaking in support of the death penalty #donaldtrump #trump #deathpenalty #capitalpunishment #maga #magats #cruelandunusual #8thamendment

A hand-drawn political cartoon in a grotesque and unsettling style depicting a dystopian political rally. On the lefthand side, a gaunt, red MAGA-hatted Jesus suffers on the cross, a mockery of sacrifice amidst a seething throng of aggrieved pro-death penalty zealots. The titulus at the top of the cross reads: "IDGAF." To the right, a bloated Trump caricature is shown in his trademark suit, red tie, and MAGA hat, grinning maniacally. He is clutching a crucifix as he snaps a selfie with his phone, a testament to the unholy alliance of power and piety. In front of him is a prominently positioned political sign that reads: "PRO-DEATH PENALTY." The air at the rally crackles with the stench of resentment and the promise of righteous violence.

This is a political cartoon depicting a caricature of Donald Trump, shown wearing a suit and a swastika armband. Trump is wielding a chainsaw and viciously cutting into a map of the United States and the U.S. Constitution. A crowd of indistinguishable figures stands in the background, representing the American people who feel powerless as they watch the horror unfold. The cartoon is a commentary on Trump's destructive, divisive politics, which are contrary to American values and to the letter and spirit of the U.S. Constitution.

#Trump is a vile, morally bankrupt, and, above all, DANGEROUS man. We need to flush him like yesterday's dinner... #politicalcartoon #caricature #ImageFx

A digital artwork depicts a satirical scene in a bathroom with a political theme. The Statue of Liberty, rendered with a somewhat realistic yet slightly cartoonish style, stands on the left side of the image. She wears a green robe and crown, and holds a long-handled plunger as if preparing to use it in an effort to flush the nauseating mess that seems to be clogging the toilet at the moment. Her face is contorted in a disgusted expression, and she's yelling "NO THANKS!" in a speech bubble above her. To her right, we see the toilet with Donald Trump submerged inside, only his head sticking out from the feculent water. His mouth is wide open and he is shouting in a speech bubble filled with angry, impulsive, divisive political slogans such as "Cut Spending!", "Fire Everyone!", and "Deport Immigrants!" The toilet and surrounding area of the bathroom are splattered with the vile, greasy orange/brown sludge that fills the toilet bowl to the brim. This noxious filth represents Trump's moral character and the way it has left a repulsive stain on our nation's history and reputation. The style combines elements of caricature, social commentary and political satire.
