The image features a person wearing a black clerical robe with a white collar, commonly associated with Catholic clergy. The individual's hands are clasped together, holding a black rosary with a cross at the end. The background is plain and neutral, focusing attention on the person and the text. Overlaid on the image is white text that reads: "If God exists yet he cannot protect children from being sexually abused in his own place of worship then what good is he?" The text is centered and spans the width of the image, contrasting with the dark background and clothing.

#MoD slammed after ministers not told about #US #troops on #Scottish soil


The Ministry of Defence (MoD) has been urged to β€œcome clean” over its decision to allow a β€œdetachment” of US troops to be stationed at a military base in Scotland – after it was confirmed that officials did not tell the Scottish Government about the move.

Last year, it emerged that a new base in #Lossiemouth, in #Moray, would host #American #Poseidon #P8 #anti-submarine #spy and #war planes. When the site opened in May 2024, it became the first time the #USMilitary had a presence in Scotland since the end of the #ColdWar.

The image is a meme with a black background and yellow text at the top that reads "3 PEOPLE NEVER TO TRUST:". Below this, there are three panels, each featuring a different person with a caption underneath. The first panel shows an older man with white hair, wearing a dark suit and a green tie, making a hand gesture. The caption reads, "A religious leader who tells you how to vote." The second panel depicts a man in a suit with his hands raised, wearing a dark vest and a patterned tie. The caption states, "A political leader who tells you how to pray." The third panel features a man in a dark suit and red tie, with his hand over his heart. The caption reads, "A draft-dodger who tells you how to be patriotic." The overall theme of the meme is to humorously suggest that these three types of individuals should not be trusted.

@chanon Well, that depends on how much you believe Wikipedia, while cut off from supplies, it was still Coca-Cola Deutschland, who's head created Fanta from what he could get his hands on.

Now if only a single anti-capitalist would admit that monopolies almost always require government assistance to survive.

The image depicts a humorous cartoon drawn on a napkin. It features four stick-figure characters, three of whom are wearing helmets and holding swords, standing in a line. The fourth character, on the right, is holding a sandwich and appears to be the focus of the scene. Above the characters, there is text that reads, "BETTER CALL FOR BACKUP. HE'S HOLDING A SANDWICH." The drawing is simple, with black ink on a beige background, and the characters are drawn with minimal detail, emphasizing the comedic contrast between the heavily armed figures and the person with the sandwich.

The image is a meme featuring three panels, each with a different magazine cover and a humorous caption. In the first panel, a man in a light blue shirt is pointing at a cover of "Classic Ecchi of All Time, Vol. 22: Lover's Romance," with a yellow background and an anime-style illustration of a woman in a blue bikini. The caption reads, "if you 'are not allowed' to pay for this with your own money today." The second panel shows the same man pointing at a Playboy magazine cover with a caption that says, "you will be fined for having this on your person tomorrow." The third panel features the man pointing at a painting of the "Birth of Venus" by Sandro Botticelli, with a caption that reads, "and face prison time for displaying this at all the day after." The meme humorously exaggerates the consequences of displaying these magazines, suggesting increasingly severe penalties.

The image is a political cartoon featuring a donkey, which is a symbol commonly associated with the Democratic Party in the United States. The donkey is standing with its back facing the viewer, and it is wearing a blue saddle blanket with the letter "D" and the text "DEMOCRATS '26" on it. Above the donkey, the word "FORWARD!" is written in red, with two red lines extending from the text to the donkey's back, suggesting a call to action. The donkey's body is drawn in a sketchy style with brown and beige tones, and it has a few dark spots on its back. The background is plain white, emphasizing the donkey and the text. The overall style of the cartoon is simple and direct, with a focus on the symbolic elements.

You might want to touch up the Alt bot's job on this one, it totally misses that the donkey has too rear ends and no head.
But yeah, this is a pretty accurate description of what I've seen from the Democrats. They're so unwilling to actually move left on anything, fighting to keep the status quo. And every time the Reds move that status quo to the right, the Dems stick there. Never pulling back.

one of my campaigns is experiencing this. boss claims a raise of a couple dollars an hour isn't affordable, but hiring a very expensive anti-labor attorney is a good idea.

The image is a two-panel comic strip. In the first panel, an older man with glasses and a yellow shirt is speaking. He says, "My father fought for the Nazis, and I never thought I would be able to live down the shame..." He appears to be expressing regret and shame. In the second panel, the same man is seen handing a blue "ICE" t-shirt to a young girl. The girl is smiling and holding the t-shirt. Above them, there is a sign that reads "ICE NOW HIRING NO AGE LIMIT NO MORALS, A PLUS." The man looks surprised and somewhat uncomfortable. The comic strip humorously contrasts the man's past shame with his current situation, where he is applying for a job with an organization that has questionable values.

The image is a screenshot of a social media post by a user named Sundae_Gurl, featuring a black background with white text. The post is titled "It was better to make this into an image, but here are some examples." It lists five historical examples of how leaders have used crises to consolidate power:

  1. Nazi Germany (1933): Hitler used the Reichstag fire to suspend local authority, centralize police powers, and suppress opposition.
  2. Mussolini's Italy (1920s): Mussolini claimed rampant crime and disorder to justify replacing elected officials with loyal appointees.
  3. Argentina's Dirty War (1976-83): The military seized on rising crime and unrest to implement martial law and disband local government control.
  4. Russia (1990s-2000s): Putin used "anti-terror" and crime crackdowns to take over regional policing and dismantle local governors' independence.
  5. Philippines under Marcos (1972): Marcos declared martial law on grounds of "lawlessness" in Manila, allowing him to replace mayors and governors.

The post includes a profile picture of a smiling woman and has received 22 comments, 134 retweets, and 256 likes, with 7.3K views.
