VIDEOYou can judge the effectiveness of a meme by the reactions to it. And by this standard the Trump Eclipse meme was a resounding SUCCESS judging by the number of IRKED liberal reactions to it. BTW, some think this meme was an official Trump campaign ad (looking at YOU, Time magazine) which makes this even funnier. Oh, and the guy at the end didn't seem so much of an irked liberal like the others and just a Trump impressionist who aided the popularity of the Trump Eclipse meme by doing a bit about it.

Before I even knew what a "meme" was, I remember discovering the most incredible ones and knowing exactly who crafted them. Since then, many of their names have escaped me in the span of time. As I reflect on over 20 years since joining FR, I'm reminded of members who are no longer with us (due to bans or departures) but whose art shaped much of our common history. Calling all our long-standing members! Do any of you recall specific names or have memorable examples from our community's golden era, spanning from the late 1990s to 2010? Share your stories...

A Belgian court has sentenced an activist to one year in prison for running an organization that allegedly spreads “racist, hateful, Nazi and negationist speech.” According to POLITICO, a judge said 30-year-old Dries Van Langenhove “revelled in Nazi ideas that cause much suffering.” “Dries Van Langenhove, a political activist and leader of a Flemish-nationalist youth movement called Schild & Vrienden, was convicted of inciting violence and denying the Holocaust, the Ghent criminal court ruled Tuesday morning,” the outlet reports. “Former Flemish parliamentarian Dries Van Langenhove has just been sentenced to 1 year IN PRISON because supposedly ‘racist memes’ were shared...

The opening paragraph is a hoot! Have you heard? The Travis Kelce-Taylor Swift tie-up is some kind of deep state psy-op that will culminate in a Swift endorsement of Joe Biden at midfield at the end of a victorious Super Bowl victory in which Kelce will set new pass reception records with the help of an officiating crew drawn from suspended UNRWA staff. But this is just one giant misdirection, and I can’t believe people are falling for it. With north of 100 million people tuned in, the Kelce-Swift 2024 ticket will be announced, replacing Biden-Harris. Their first campaign pledge...

US Congress has launched a probe into anti-Semitism at three top universities – Harvard, the University of Pennsylvania and MIT, but social media is also on rage, expressing their anger over these schools which have allegedly failed to tackle the “rampant antisemitism” on their campuses after the Hamas’ 7 October attack on Israel and the subsequent Israeli invasion of Gaza. The presidents of all these three universities have been facing backlash over their testimony Tuesday on rising antisemitism on campus since the 7 October Hamas attack. The investigation has been launched by the Education Committee after the leaders of these...

The Rufini family’s peaceful life was shattered when a late-night FBI operation saw them hauled at gunpoint from their home and detained in a van while agents combed their house for evidence of what was presumed to be a potential violent plot by their 15-year-old son, who was a volunteer firefighter and an altar boy, American Greatness reported. Jeremiah Rufini, the father, detailed their plight in a now-unavailable GiveSendGo fundraising page, illustrating the profound impact of this investigation on their family life and finances. According to the unpublished fundraising page, the Rufinis had been grappling with unexpected legal fees resulting...

In a surprising turn of events, Irish authorities have launched an investigation into renowned mixed martial artist Conor McGregor for alleged ‘online hate speech.’ The controversy stems from McGregor expressing his discontent over a tragic incident involving children stabbed by a Muslim immigrant. While the investigation unfolds, this development has sparked a broader conversation about the balance between free speech and government intervention. McGregor’s supporters argue that this move by Irish authorities validates his concerns about what he perceives as weak and ineffectual governance. They claim that McGregor’s outspokenness on the matter highlights the broader issue of government overreach, painting...

The G.O.P. contender’s campaign tried to take on Donald Trump’s online army. Now it just wants to end the meme wars. ---------------------------------- In early May, as Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida prepared to run for president, about a dozen right-wing social media influencers gathered at his pollster’s home for cocktails and a poolside buffet. The guests all had large followings or successful podcasts and were already fans of the governor. But Mr. DeSantis’s team wanted to turn them into a battalion of on-message surrogates who could tangle with Donald J. Trump and his supporters online. For some, however, the gathering...

Two years after the Supreme Court sharply limited the authority of school districts over their students when not on campus or at school-sponsored programs, a high school principal faces a lawsuit alleging he suspended a student for unflattering social media posts about him, despite having known the legal precedent. The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression filed a First and Fourteenth amendments lawsuit on behalf of the rising senior, known only by his initials I.P., against Tennessee's Tullahoma City Schools, recently departed Principal Jason Quick and Assistant Principal Derrick Crutchfield. Because the suspension is on the student's permanent record, it...

On Monday, Dean Sawyer resigned from his position as mayor of Newport, a city of about 10,000 residents along the Pacific Coast. Sawyer first joined the Newport city council in 2011 and was elected mayor in 2018. He won re-election in both 2020 and 2022.

Stable Diffusion is a deep learning, text-to-image model released in 2022. It is primarily used to generate detailed images conditioned on text descriptions, though it can also be applied to other tasks such as inpainting, outpainting, and generating image-to-image translations guided by a text prompt. It was developed by the start-up Stability AI in collaboration with a number of academic researchers and non-profit organizations. Stable Diffusion is a latent diffusion model, a kind of deep generative neural network. Its code and model weights have been released publicly, and it can run on most consumer hardware equipped with a modest GPU...

VIDEOFlorida Governor Ron DeSantis recently traveled to Japan in order to enhance his stature for a possible run for the presidency. Instead, the ancient Greek gods took the hubris of one who is governor entirely because of President Donald Trump but then turned his back upon him for which he is now being punished by having been turned into a laughable meme: Bobblehead Ron. That was the result of his Japan trip. To be punished for his hubris by being turned a ridiculed meme. In this video we explore those memes as well as do a forensic analysis of a...
