    Ugh I don’t want to be that guy but this looks maybe AI generated? I can’t find a source with reverse image look up either. Does anyone know if this is legit?

          DMSO is an industrial solvent that was all the rage in the late 70’s/early 80’s because people said it had magic powers to cure everything. By itself it showed some uses for pain relief but it also has the ability to absorb other chemicals and transfer those chemicals through the skin - which could have bad results.

          People who use it repeatedly have a sulfur-ish funk to them.

          I don’t know if RFKjr uses DMSO, but it seems up his alley.

    While I have saved this for later distribution, it looks more like he’s checking his phone. Either way, he’s not paying attention.

      He’s obviously looking at his phone. This isn’t the burn the meme makes it out to be.

      The real fucked up shit is the world’s richest man addressing the Cabinet. In a fucking baseball hat.

        Yes, outrage farming misinformation doesn’t belong here (or anywhere).

        Engage with reality, don’t cheer on lies because they’re lies that you like.

        It should be pretty obvious the kind of damage that can be caused by people living in alternative-fact-based realities.

      That’s what it looks like to me. To be honest though just about everything on the internet is probably more important than what Elongated is saying.

      Obviously? No. There is no possible way his hands could be holding that phone. And we all know he is absolutely a 2-handing smart phone user. He can barely hold a 16oz bottle of water. Probably a 15.9oz at that.

    He is really old, he’ll be 79 in june. How many people that are that age, you hear they die, and you’re like, “mmhmm, they had a long life.” He should be at his country clubs being racist and assaulting women like all the other republicans. Retire, it’s just a job man.

    OT, but what do you mean “Sign-in Required” when trying to read the post on bluesky, weren’t they supposed to be better than twitter?

      This user has requested that their content only be shown to signed-in users.

      Huh. I guess that’s a feature Bluesky offers. TIL.

        So the enshittification begins… I can’t think of a single valid reason for wanting only account-havers to view your post.

          This is a way to slightly make a block work better to keep away from stalkers. Yes, a stalker can create another account. But it does add an additional small speed bump.

        It was just added recently, like within a week or so. At least it’s the users choice unlike Twitter.

          Correct, I noticed the feature recently too. I’d imagine it’s anti-spam (or at least anti-lurk?) but it’s not like you can comment without an account.

          I don’t see a good enough reason to toggle that unless you’re expecting a non-user to leak it to another platform to make fun of you (e.g. Lemmy) and obviously we’re proof enough that it isn’t much of a deterrent, lol.

      It’s a way to dip their toe into being closed off. Right now it’s a “user choice” so some people can slowly build the wall while feeling good about “blocking AI scrapers” (they’ll get around it no problem) or “blocking stalkers” (they’ll get around it no problem) or “blocking [next week’s bogeyman]” and all of a sudden everyone has to make an account to interact with the website but it was oRgAnIc™

    50 l 50 he’s looking at memory of “that one time with Epstein and those girls”, or in a Big Mac coma.
