and she did it again:
Author Joyce Carol Oates elegantly skewers elon musk again. Here, she has a re-tweet of acct avidreader on xitter. Avidreader posted “Wherever he goes, he wants to leave: SA, Canada, ultimately the U.S. in the long run, based on his behavior. This also includes Earth. A continuous disavowel of your home is odd, to say the least. He seems to have no club.” JCO quote-tweets with this response to that: “ ‘ wherever he goes, he wants to leave’—that’s because when he gets there, he has brought his own self along; & whatever club he’s invited to join has been devalued by the invitation.”

ummmmmm…
Fox (Faux) News screenshot posted on xitter by Brian Allen. There’s a Faux News white lady talking head in a black suit jacket in the panel to the left, DHS tool/creepfest Kristi Noem in the middle panel, and some old white dude with white hair in a blue suit jacket in the right-hand panel. Sorry; I’m not sure who he is. Noem is saying that ICE will “be out on the streets in full force” on Halloween “to make sure kids are safe.” Brian Allen notes that it’s not ICE’s job to do that. He says “it’s intimidation dressed up as law enforcement.”

donnie over here declaring war on a US city
This is a post that trump put up on truth social on September 6, 2025 reminiscent of the poster for the 1979 Vietnam War movie Apocalypse Now. An AI-generated trump (because he’s made to look like a much younger man) is kind of crouching in the front right center wearing sort of a Vietnam War-era shirt and pants and a black cowboy-ish hat with a crossed-sword logo. Behind him are helicopters and a city skyline tinged orange and red and you can see flames behind him. The text is, in quotes: “I love the smell of deportations in the morning…” and then this line: Chicago about to find out why it’s called the Department of WAR and then 3 helicopter emojis. The quoted line is taken from a classic line from the movie, which was “I love the smell of napalm in the morning.” The bottom left of the movie poster knock-off is in a similar ragged font as the original movie poster. In that, it said “Apocalypse Now.” Here, in this authoritarian and anti-immigrant propaganda, it says “Chipocalypse Now,” referencing the “Chi” of Chicago.

A six-panel cartoon lampooning republicans. In the first panel, a GOP elephant (elephant wearing a business suit with a red tie) is waving two small US flags saying "I love free-market capitalism!" In the second, trump starts entering the frame while the elephant says "Keep government out of business!" In the third, trump stands in front of the elephant and says "The government now owns a stake in Intel to control production." In the fourth, trump starts exiting the panel and the elephant says "But isn't...but isn't that...socialis ...". In the fifth, the elephant is just standing there, staring down. In the sixth, the elephant is waving the two small US flags again and says "I love state-controlled means of production!" It looks like the signature says "Necessary 2025" and the website is www.davidpepper.substack.com.

Another iteration of the so-called "goose meme." In the top panel, a [cartoon] goose (depicted from the neck up, bottom right-hand of panel) is saying "Why Cuomo but not Franken?" In the bottom panel, the goose is running after a person dressed in a puffy jacket and trousers and the goose is yelling "Why, Kirsten????" Context: original Bluesky post wanted to know how Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (NY) justifies her support of Cuomo [aka "sex pest"] for mayor (2025) but not for former Sen. Al Franken, when allegations broke years back about his alleged sexual harassment.

I'm no expert in agriculture, but this seems bad.

www.msn.com/en-us/money/...
headline from MSN.com: "Multiple Texas Farms Shut Down After 'Almost 100% Of Workforce Vanishes Overnight." The context is that because of ICE patrols, agriculture is suffering. Crops are rotting in fields and livestock are not being tended. This will also affect things like the availability of food products.

Headline from Mint news that says "AI is learning to escape human control." The illustration is a cartoon rendition of two robots. One is blue and silver with angel wings and it's smiling as small humans program the keyboard on its chest while the other is a red robot with devil horns sitting behind the other robot holding a halo over the other robot's head. The red robot has a laptop and "AI" is on its chest.

A cartoon in which Iowa Senator Joni Ernst is standing all huffy saying "Stop complaining about Medicaid cuts. We're all going to die." Behind her is the Grim Reaper with a scythe and the thought bubble is "Yikes! That's grim..."

The goose meme! The upper panel has a goose's head coming up from the lower border of the panel, throwing side-eye saying "Which religions, asshole?" We can't see the goose's entire body. Think of it like a goose is looking at you from outside, its head popping up over a windowsill. The lower panel has that same goose chasing a man who is wearing a down jacket, trousers, and shoes. We can't see the man's head because it's like he's ducking out of the picture to the left (goose coming in from the right), obviously freaked by the goose coming at him. And who wouldn't? Geese are freaking scary and mean and you should totally run away from them when they come for you.

She doesn’t look happy about it, so there’s that, I guess.
MI governor Gretchen Whitmer in attendance when trump signs an EO. She’s standing off to the side away from people and is not looking at the proceedings but rather down. This is a series of 4 screenshots, one with text saying she’s in attendance (from xitter) and then three others that zoom progressively closer on her face. Her expression is not happy. Maybe glum?

seems weird, these billionaires with ties to South Africa, taking over the US.
David Folkenflick on twitter (“x”) posts an image of one of LA Times owner Pat Soon-Shiong’s tweets. Folkenflick comments: “Did not have LA Times owner retweeting Cernovich on my bingo card, but happy Friday folks.” The tweet Soon-Shiong RT’ed of extremist right-wing propagandist Mike Cernovich says: “Incredible how so few could harm so many. One day the truth will come out .. “It’s not a conspiracy if it’s true” .. coming soon.” Cernovich then supplies a link. Cernovich is also an extreme right-wing troll.

screenshot of article by Heidi Siegmund Cuda, "A House United." The text in the screenshot is: Trump and the Kremlin worked to diffuse the seriousness of the Mueller indictment, but do recall it was a full-service lie factory, complete with Russian spies who traveled to the US illegally in 2014 to gather intel on our weaknesses and triggers — racism, misogyny, religious extremism, government distrust — and then targeted us with our own insecurities — aiming squarely at purple states and anywhere they could encourage us to destroy ourselves from within. The lie factory had language instructors, polishing trolls.
