Something happenedIt's definitely photo shopped, like, a lot. This is the original:
Photoshopping pictures of her seems to be a thing. Not sure I like it. She's a terrible human being, there's plenty of things to criticise her on without creating weird distorted images of her.

So, the bit about it being a fake dog food company is made up. It's a real dog food company. I mean, I say it's real, it's a Rumble brand - as in the company which hosts Truth Social and other dubious platforms - and it's in that weird space where right wing demagogues try to monetize their platform by selling 'health' products (i.e. snake oil; another of their brands is '5G Free' and they sell 'cellular defense' pills and 'EMF badges'). So I wouldn't trust their dog food.
But the "I just ate dog food" post is real, she did do that.

I know, right? I don't know why people make this stuff up or photoshop though, the reality is more than ugly/weird/etc. enough!
I'm usually pretty good at spotting the fake stuff, but Trump is the worst one for me. He's so ridiculous that it's hard to tell any half decent parody from the reality.

And more fallout from this idiocy
========================
SPRINGFIELD, Ohio — The Haitian eatery cooks were preparing for Thursday’s lunch rush when the phone rang.
“Got any cats or dogs?” a mocking voice asked.
Romane Pierre, the 41-year-old manager of Rose Goute Creole, didn’t want to alarm his staff. They were already nervous.
During the presidential debate barely 36 hours earlier, Republican nominee Donald Trump had targeted Haitians in Springfield, falsely accusing them of “eating the pets of the people that live there.”
Pierre summoned his customer-service politeness.
“No,” he replied, “but we have chicken and pork.”
A crackpot call was a minor disruption compared with that morning’s bomb threat on city hall, conveyed in a message the mayor described as “hateful” toward immigrants.
By Friday, two elementary schools in this southwestern Ohio city had gone into lockdown and evacuated their students. Pierre’s team, who usually kept the restaurant open late, decided to close before dark.
“Everyone’s scared,” he said, keeping an eye on the glass entrance.
The incendiary claims about immigrants that Trump echoed to millions of Americans have turned a dangerous spotlight on those in the cities he keeps name-checking: Springfield and Aurora, Colo., a Denver suburb where he has repeatedly asserted Venezuelan criminals are “taking over.”
“We’re going to get these people out,” he said in a news conference Friday, intensifying his attack and promising to stage “the largest deportation in the history of our country” if reelected.
Trump’s words don’t reflect their reality, more than a dozen immigrants said in interviews this week. But his rhetoric, which right-wing news sources and social media have greatly amplified, triggered alarm in places grappling with culture clashes.
In Springfield, where the Haitian population has soared since 2020, some from the Caribbean nation have been keeping their children home from school, community organizers say, fearing bullying or worse. Others have reported harassment on the street, in their cars and at stores.
In Aurora, a large and proudly diverse city where thousands of Venezuelans began arriving in 2022, numerous migrants said they have been told their nationality makes them ineligible for jobs or housing.
Residents of buildings that some officials have alleged are under gang control said the false rumors have led to threats and even drawn armed groups to the properties — claiming to offer protection, vigilante-style……..

And this is exactly why the ComicsGate loons are big mad. They made all the money they could spring the cause and now have just gone straight crazy...

By far Andor is the best star wars work.

From the slow steadily complex musical intro progression to the topic of facism....season 1 is close to perfection, if not perfect.
My favorite is Hannah arendt's banality of evil perspective of authoritarianism.

I'm pretty sure I would be banned if I were to tweet "And no one is even trying to assassinate Elon Musk".

Well worth your time. Acting was superb as well. Writing top notch. It fits today, I believe bc it also addresses andor's inaction against the increasingly authoritarian government. Abusive power didn't harm him directly so he didn't care, till it did. It's complex...and I didn't appreciate it till maybe the 2nd watch.
