    This reminds me of someone I knew in high school who went off the deep end, and between star wars toys unboxing videos would stand in front of city hall with a near illegible scrawling on a scrap of cardboard calling out local progressive officials for supporting crime, which i liked to share with people and be like “get a load of this guy” until he accidentally self-immolated this past year falling asleep smoking and now it’s just sad.

    Anyway, hope it definitely doesn’t happen to this guy

      The least you could do is say it was an act of protest against weak on crime liberals. It’s what he would have wanted .

    reminds me of the “stone age billionaire” who went to a counter protest to make homeless men who used modern orthodontics 25 years ago sympathize with the oligarchs. the thing is, stone age billionaires were bad actually. those first farmers went on a genocidal campaign against the neighboring hunter gatherers

      it looks like an AI-upscale of a low resolution photo, hence the goopiness. a fully hallucinated image would render text better than this, and I just don’t think the bullshit machine is creative enough to come up with the kind of kook that can only be produced by growing up in the good ol US of A

      Others in the thread had seen him and his car covered in right-wing shit. My phone does this with any amount of zoom.

      edit: And that intersection is authentic/seasonally appropriate.

      edit: After seeing his youtube channel, he as a model of consciousness might be AI-generated. His presence on the earth is organic, but a synthesis of terminally horny man and horny machine.

        wow, that is… awful 😢

        If this is what your phone’s camera app is doing I would suggest resisting the temptation to ever use its zoom function at all. You can always do a terrible AI upscaling later if that is what you really want; when you take the “photo” this way you don’t have any other options. (though maybe the same phone would also slopify non-zoomed images though?)

          I think I first got a Samsung Galaxy in 2014 and it had the same issue. The flat camera means there’s no actual depth perception so it hallucinates finer details. My best-ever wildflower photo was ruined by it in 2018 and it pissed me off to the point that I got a DSLR. Now I have my phone set to save large raw images so I don’t think it would highlight the text as much as whatever settings they’re using, but it would definitely have the same kind of blurring.

      The first time I saw people walking to one I thought I was biking past some kind of MAGA rally. It was nothing but white boomers dressed in the same exact clothes along with the costumes used by the 2009 Tea Party. This time? White boomers dressed as superheroes walking to vote. Every single No Kings poster I have ever seen on streetlights is just announcing when the next No Kings protest will be, and I still have no clue what their demands are after like ten of them.

      You can really tell it started on reddit. It’s just a reddit meetup sponsored by the police.

      Check out that youtube channel in this thread. It would be Conner O’Malley-tier if it was a bit. I would become a truck driver in the We Like Women Pride Army just to spread the next Irish Zionism.

      edit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Altebe2yUYU This one in particular. His billionairist utopia is one where the streets are full of homeless people, there are sprawling tent cities, and the tent cities are full of robot servants who let the homeless people choose any kind of tent they want. This is too funny to come from a comedian:
