Also, from the Propublica article (weirdly deep into it, given how foundational this explanation is):

An excerpt from the Propublica article that was linked to in the original post:
"In a hearing discussing the Flex Loan legislation before its passage, Earnest told a Tennessee Senate committee the new loan was like a line of credit you could get at a bank, acknowledging it would be 'a little bit more expensive.'"

The following paragraph is highlighted as a mark of importance to understanding the issue:
"But the proposal added significant potential costs. To allow lenders to circumvent the state’s interest rate cap, the legislature simply called the interest something else: a 'customary fee.' The law would permit flex lenders to charge 24% interest plus a daily fee until the loan is paid off. The fee is calculated by multiplying the loan amount by 0.7%. Over 365 days the fee adds 255.5% to the cost of the loan. Advance’s own documentation tells borrowers that although the state and Advance call it a fee, the federal government sees it for what it is, an interest rate."

"The bill passed the state Senate without opposition. In the House, only Democratic state Rep. Mike Stewart spoke against the bill, which passed overwhelmingly and was later signed by Republican Gov. Bill Haslam."

There's another tree behind it that's looking at it and frowning.

The artist has done drugs: www.hunterbiden.com/work/son

It's an abstract painting by Hunter Biden, and it's hard to describe. It looks like the face of some kind of primate with 8 rounded trapezoids surrounding its circumference that look like salt and pepper shakers. Together, they form the silhouette that's similar to that of a typical depiction of the sun. The silhouette is outlined many times by different colors until they go off the frame. The face has an open mouth, which reveals another, smaller face inside. In the bottom-right corner is a white circle with what appears to be some kind of dragonfly in flight. On the whole, the picture is quite colorful, though most of its colors are somewhat muted.

An ad for "The Great American State Fair" showing 9 performers for the event, with 5 of them crossed out in red. This section also describes the image in the post this is a reply to.

The words "...and many more!" are right below the images of the performers. The aspect of this image unique to the OP's is that the words "many more!" are slashed through in red.

Regarding crypto, whether that's the intention behind the people who push it or not, it absolutely does benefit fascists more than anyone else if "money" is divorced from regulations (aka protections for the average person). *That probably is the intention for cryto-bros, to be clear. Alt text:

"CRYPTOCURRENTCIES like Bitcoin are an integral part of the transnational effort to REPLACE DEMOCRATIC SYSTEMS of government with FASCISM. Their purpose is to draw wealth away from and thereby UNDERMINE LEGITIMATE CURRENTCIES back by governments. The reduction in governmental control creates precisely the VACUUM THAT FASCISTS NEED to move in and take over, just as they're currently doing the United States by sowing maximum chaus at eveery turn. It's important to recognize all of this for what it is: CREATING THE CONDITIONS FOR A FASCIST TAKEOVER."

Fair Housing Act entitles you to keep a support animal without retaliation from your landlord if you can prove that it helps with your disabilities, including emotional and psychological. The burden of proof is intentionally low. All you need is an ESA Letter: usserviceanimals.org/blog/emotion...

This is a screenshot of a section from the link "https://usserviceanimals.org/blog/emotional-support-animal-documentation/"

ESA Letter
As mentioned above, an ESA letter is an essential document for a dog to be considered an emotional support dog. In fact, it is the only formal document owners and their dogs need. Besides an ESA letter, there’s no other emotional support dog documentation needed, though some additional documents can help owners reinforce their rights, which we cover below.

To give more details on what an ESA letter is, it is an official document written by a licensed mental health professional. It works like a drug prescription in many ways, recommending an emotional support animal as part of the patient’s treatment. In doing so, an ESA letter confirms that an individual has a qualifying mental disability and needs an emotional support animal to ease their symptoms.

For an ESA letter to be considered valid, it must be written by a mental health professional licensed in the patient’s state of residence and include the following details.
-The mental health professional’s full name, license type, licensing state, license number, contact details, and signature.
-The patient’s full name and diagnosis (doesn’t have to be the exact condition – any mention that the patient has a qualifying mental disability recognized in the DSM is enough).
-The date the ESA letter was issued.

Optionally, an ESA letter can also include details about the emotional support dog, such as breed and name. These often help owners establish their ESA rights, so it is generally good to have some information about the animal, though it isn’t necessary.

Sounds very frat boyish. Phrases like "we are going to crush this lady" are like an encoded trigger phrase for dudes like that.

Emperor Palpatine from Star Wars 5: Revenge of the Sith speaking to a "clone trooper" through a communicator that's displaying a hologram of the trooper. Palpatine is saying, "We are going to crush this lady." He's also wearing a red baseball cap, sunglasses and "PPU" is written on the torso of his robe.

It's a spin on the famous "Execute Order 66" sequence from the movie.

The photograph is real. It was taken by Liz Whyte of Wall Street Journal. Here's a screenshot of Liz commenting on the reach her photographs of the confrontation have had:

A screenshot of a Twitter post. In it, Liz Essley Whyte, a reporter for Wall Street Journal, is quote tweeting Derek Guy, whose post was of one of the photographs Liz took of the confrontation between AOC and RFK with text that reads, "how it feels to say 'sprezzatura.'"

In her quote tweet, Liz responds to Derek, saying, "The menswear guy has tweeted a photo I took so now I am famous I think." Liz' quote tweet was posted at 7:49 pm on April 21st, 2026.

Everything up to this point has been describing the left half of the screen. The right half shows Liz and Derek's accounts as "Relevant people" in the top corner, and a list of trending topics, called "What's happening" takes up the bottom corner.

His animations to denote that he's hot, cold, exhausted, being electrocuted, eating, etc. are also pretty exaggerated and don't exactly call to mind the "stoic badass" that many U.S. fans seem to project onto him.

And this is from the Variety Australia piece:

Text that reads: "In a new interview with The New York Times, Lithgow said that while he didn’t agree with Rowling’s views on transgender issues, he thought the “Harry Potter” books themselves were “clearly on the side of the angels, against intolerance and bigotry.”

But the Times noted that having been “stung” by the sharp online reaction, Lithgow “considered quitting the series but decided not to.” That said, Lithgow acknowledged the subject of Rowling would come up “in every interview I will ever do for the rest of my life.”

In the recent film “Jimpa,” Lithgow plays the grandfather to a trans teenager played by Aud Mason-Hyde, who is trans. In an interview with Out magazine, Mason-Hyde called Lithgow “such a beautiful human to make work wit,” but added that they considered Lithgow’s decision to join “Harry Potter” “disconcerting,” adding that “there’s an element of this that feels vaguely hurtful.”"

The original NYT interview has an especially funny title:

An image of the title for The New York Times interview with John Lithgow, "The Man Who Would Go Anywhere." Underneath the title text, there's an additional line that reads, "Is there anyone John Lithgow can't - or won't - play? This is all on the left half of the image in black text with a white background. On the right half of the image is a picture of John Lithgow himself sitting with his legs crossed and holding a "newsie" cap in his right hand while on a half-wall made of stone in what appears to be an urban environment with a multistory building behind him. He has a look on his face that suggests that someone farted near him and then ran away. I don't know why.

This is for a vaccine for seasonal flu.

A screenshot of the article that the original poster linked to that reads:

"THE VACCINE MAKER MODERNA decided this past week to tell the world about bad news it had received from the federal government.

A potentially groundbreaking vaccine for seasonal flu that the Massachusetts-based company had developed would not be getting approval from regulators. In fact, it wasn’t even getting formal consideration, Moderna announced in a Tuesday press release, because officials were refusing to accept the application."

This is a screenshot of the polling data around 2 questions that were asked by New York Times/Sienna pollsters: "Do you think Donald Trump is too conservative, not conservative enough, or not too far either way?" and "Do you think Kamala Harris is too liberal or progressive, not liberal or progressive enough, or not too far either way?" There is a significant number of demographic breakdowns for how the "Likely Electorate" responded to these questions that would be impractical to write out in full.

The results that I feel are most notable are that 32% of all respondents answered that Trump was "Too conservative," while 10% answered that he was "Not conservative enough.

For Kamala Harris, circled in red. 47% of all respondents answered that she was "Too liberal or progressive," and 9% answered that she was "Not liberal or progressive enough."

According to this; news.gallup.com/poll/15370/p..., that'd be the largest gap since 2009. That said, it's only a 3% shift from 2025, which was 47% for Democratic and Democratic leaning responders and 42% for Republican and Republican leaning responders.

A screenshot of "Americans’ Leaned Party ID" table from news.gallup.com/poll/15370/party-affiliation.aspx, with light editing to improve readability. The table records the percentages of "Republican/Republican leaner" and "Democrat/Democratic leaner" for 2015 through 2025. I selected these years out of this table because they are when Donald Trump has been relevant to national American politics. There are red circles to the left of each year that Republicans were ahead and blue circles to the left of each year that Democrats were ahead.
The table itself says the following:
2025: D+5, R/R leaner - 42%, D/D leaner - 47%
2024: R+1, R/R leaner - 46%, D/D leaner - 45%
2023: R+2, R/R leaner - 45%, D/D leaner - 43%
2022: R+1, R/R leaner - 45%, D/D leaner - 44%
2021: D+5, R/R leaner - 43%, D/D leaner - 46%
2020: D+5, R/R leaner - 43%, D/D leaner - 48%
2019: D+5, R/R leaner - 42%, D/D leaner - 47%
2018: D+6, R/R leaner - 41%, D/D leaner - 47%
2017: D+5, R/R leaner - 42%, D/D leaner - 47%
2016: D+5, R/R leaner - 42%, D/D leaner - 47%
2015: D+3, R/R leaner - 42%, D/D leaner - 45%

Quotes from The Hill:

"Even now, living alone is not quite so common in the United States as the data suggest. While nearly 30 percent of households comprise a single person, far fewer than 30 percent of Americans live in them.

Roughly 13 percent of American adults live alone, research shows. Breaking down that figure by age groups, the population of solitaries rises from 4 percent of adults at ages 18-24 to 9 percent at 25-34, dips to 8 percent at 35-44, then rises again, to 12 percent at 45-54, 17 percent at 55-64 and 26 percent at 65 and up."

"Living alone is much more common in large cities. Singles now make up more than 40 percent of households in Atlanta, Seattle, San Francisco, Minneapolis and Denver, according to a paper by the British historian Keith Snell. Half of all Manhattan dwellings are one-person residences. Snell identified a Midtown Census tract where 94 percent of households comprised a single person."

This point in particular suggests that trying to court the "Bernie to Trump" crowd would involve some fundamental compromises that, imho, wouldn't be worth it:

Screenshot of a social media post by Brian Schaffner as it appeared in an NPR article that was published August 24, 2017, and which was linked to in the previous post of this thread.
Text reads: "But there does appear to be a racial component to this, as defectors are much more likely to disagree that whites are advantaged in the US 9/n"

Below the text is a bar graph titled "% Disagreeing that white people have advantages among sanders primary voters, based on general election behavior"
Voted Trump: slightly under 50%
Voted Clinton: ~5%
Voted for Other Cand.: slightly under 20%
Did not vote: ~15%

Below the graph reads: "Data from 2016 CCES. Only include individuals who could be validated as primary and general election voters. N = 4,226. Analysis by Brian Schaffner."

The social media post was originally uploaded at 8:22 AM on August 23, 2017.
