We love you Minneapolis!

@log yes, but I thought it was real, for a few seconds. And this is what is terrible about AI slop in mainstream media: it is not instantly recognizable. In the Photoshop era we saw this coming, but still... @cbarbermd

@xChaos @cbarbermd At last, the power of obsessive-compulsive spectrum neurodivergents to notice (and be distressed about) tiny out-of-place details will be valued by others!

@cbarbermd

Hahahaha!

@cbarbermd @radxberg Das ist so offensichtlich AI-Slop.
Wäre schön, wenn Mastodon davon verschont bleibt, oder es zumindest klar gekennzeichnet wird.
#aislop

@cbarbermd I don't want to see ai slop, please and thank you.

@cbarbermd this video is ai, already found here: ICE agent don't have a super power to go through cars

Not too glad about this being AI-generated (same as the other video with the viking in a hamburger clown cart), but you know, somebody should pull that one in real life

@cbarbermd clearly AI. Funny, but not productive to have slop about this topic

@cbarbermd I have questions. So many questions.

@electrafish @cbarbermd
totally. But still, a good laugh!

@electrafish it's not. I was fooled and quickly deleted my post.

@cbarbermd
I knew this was slop the moment it started because I can't roll my office chair across the carpet without tipping over, let alone outrun a flock of doughnut eaters.

@cbarbermd

MAGA fascists can't very fast it seems

@cbarbermd ok, you win: I'm blocking any rotten brain who think you can roll over rails without falling.

@cbarbermd Carolyn, you post fake shit often enough, what is the point?

#PostOfTheWeek (season 3):
In the nine years that Gilah Mashaal has owned Needle & Skein, a yarn store in the suburbs of Minneapolis, she has tried to maintain a rule that “nobody talks politics” in the shop. But amid the weeks-long occupation of the Twin Cities by federal immigration paramilitaries, Mashaal and one of her employees decided to turn one of their weekly knit-alongs into a “protest stitch-along”.

@DarthAstrius
They didn’t want to return to the “pussy hats” that symbolized women’s resistance to Donald Trump in 2016, so Paul, their employee, did some research and came back with a proposal: a red knit hat inspired by the topplue or nisselue (woolen caps), worn by Norwegians during the second world war to signify their resistance to the Nazi occupation.

@DarthAstrius

“I said: ‘Well gee whiz, that’s extremely fitting for this moment,’” said Mashaal. “Me being a Jewish small business owner, that resonates with me on so many levels.”

@jmcrookston @electrafish but it may give some good folks a great idea!

@cbarbermd absolutely spectacular
