  • To be fair, the proportions on the Suburban with the plate ending on 002 are weirdly different. Look at the distance between the recess where the plate goes and the tail light. There’s also some weirdness with the top of he hatch. It could be something to do with the angle (or a different model of Suburban), but it could also easily be an image generator’s shitty job of trying to maintain a source image and losing the proportions.

    Obviously that’s not any kind of certainty, but I’d be interested to see the source video that the more recent image was taken from.

    Actually, there’s a lot of weirdness with this image. Where’s the Suburban’s tailpipe? Why is the “Suburban” text in the second SUV straight-on rather than at an angle? Did the stairs move? What’s going on with the lady in front with knees at two different heights? Why does the guy next to her look like he intentionally twisted up his pant legs as much as possible? Whose head is that poking up from behind it looking like they’re standing behind an object with no depth whatsoever? What’s with the inverted and blurred reflection of the guy standing behind the first SUV in the same pose as the first image? Why does the guy standing next to Trump have his hand cupped behind his back like he’s doing sleight of hand? Why is the Chevy logo on the front car smaller and not centered over the license plate?

    Maybe it’s just a case of looking at an image for AI generation markers and finding a bunch of things that are actually more normal than they seem, but it certainly does make me wonder.

    If that’s meant to be the DNC, okay.

    If that’s meant to be people who made an argument for coalition politics and not straight up forfeiting an election to the worst presidential candidate anyone could find lying around to stuff into a diaper and a suit and put behind a podium… that’s not really the same thing.

    Gavin Newsom is not, at the moment, running for president. He’s not sitting opposite some extreme right-winger serving as a disappointing but necessary defensive line between us and things getting much worse. He’s an asshole who happens to be a Democrat and is the current governor of a state where he’s actively making things worse. He, like Harris, would clearly be leaning toward the right to try to win center votes.

    The reasonable strategic move to make for anyone who wants the government in the US to shift to the left is to make it clear that while his humiliating Trump is useful, he is not a viable candidate. Supporting him now would be backing a lame horse that’s literally still in the stable during a time where we should be finding the healthiest, fastest horse we possibly can. That is not the same as if he were in an election right now and were the only way to prevent a Trump from getting into office.

    I’m trans. I hope Newsom falls off a cliff. But if he had been running against Trump instead of Harris I would have held my nose and checked the box, because strategy isn’t about throwing a fit until you get the scenario you want, it’s about doing what you can with the hand you’ve got.

    Right now what we can do is toss his ass away and draw another card from the deck before we end up being forced to play him.
