Anyone knows the source for this picture? I'd like a higher resolution version of this

This is my cat. Her name is Uta and she hungers for the flesh of oligarchs.

It's pretty amazing. Something about the symmetry of it, the faux-orderliness of the embossed fonts against the stark blue defiant scrawl, the crowd of people in the distance against the few cops in the foreground. The upwards curve of capitol hill building vs the downward curve of the hats of the cops. The blue sky and text imploring clarity and freedom vs the brown uniforms and dead grass.

All of it incidental, but captured like it was a planned painting. There's more I'm sure I'm missing, but yeah, this is an amazing photo.

Mulch the rich. Rebuilding soil will be a key part of mitigating climate change.

Cops looking up recipes

This country is so ready to pull out the guillotine. This is in UTAH!! You expect this in new york or Oregon. But utah?!

You might be surprised how hard a counter culture goes when the prevailing culture is so oppressive.

[–] joshthewaster 1 points 19 minutes ago

You can't have counterculture without a strong prevailing culture. SLC pushes back in surprising ways small and large. Great to see it.

They’re double dog daring us to. Many are still clinging to the hope we can vote our way out of this in 2-4 years, but at the rate this coup is progressing, how long until that hope gets extinguished and violence is the only remaining option?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

SLC local here. I agree, but also keep in mind this city has always been a leftist funnel. A bastion of sanity in a sea of maga idiots.

You mean home of mormonism salt Lake city?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 hours ago

Eh. Def Jure the home, but de facto goes to Provo

[–] [email protected] 11 points 7 hours ago

Nice, more please

Cops calling in backup so they can figure out what the words say.

Guard dogs thinking who pissed on masters lamppost

[–] [email protected] 18 points 8 hours ago

"none of these words are in the book of mormon!"

[–] Bosht 11 points 8 hours ago

Or figure out who they can blame and shoot

[–] Kyle_The_G 81 points 11 hours ago (5 children)

This looks like an album cover

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 hours ago

Or a movie poster

Incoming Aerosmith single re-release!

And I just can't see no humour 
About your way of life 
And I think I can do more for you 
With this here fork and knife

Eat the rich 
There's only one thing that they're good for 
Eat the rich 
Take one bite now, come back for more 
Eat the rich 
I gotta get this off my chest 
Eat the rich
Take one bite now, spit out the rest

If you want to name your band State of Ut, it’s even got the name and album title already on it.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 11 hours ago

Fuckin should be!

[–] [email protected] 58 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Oh, look! It's the rich's enforcers, they found something they bother to investigate...

[–] rockSlayer 18 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

It's just graffiti, they'll quarter-ass it for a couple hours and then give up

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

In fairness, I have no motivation today. I'll try to fifth-ass it, though...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

"This R2 unit has a bad motivator!"

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

Uh... everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here now, thank you. How are you?

[–] [email protected] 27 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

I've seen it from more than one angle now, so I know it's real, but damn if that isn't the most AI looking f'ing image...

[–] MrFappy 15 points 11 hours ago (4 children)

I thought the same thing. Idk how it can look so fake.

[–] friend_of_satan 5 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

It's the almost complete lack of shadows. My guess is there was a very thin cloud cover diffusing the sunlight. You can kind of see this on the right-side officer's hat shadow.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 hours ago

Aye, it was an overcast rainy day.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 hours ago

Makes me think a solid misinformation strategy would be to doctor real photos to look like they're AI generated.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 hours ago

I think the phone they used went ham on HDR.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 hours ago

Lots of that lately; reminiscent of the cybertruck on fire in front of the trump tower. I absolutely assumed that was ai at first

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 hours ago

Contrast was adjusted

Public speech on public property.

[–] Valmond 2 points 9 hours ago

That's some funny hats

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

Looks like ai but i don't think it is.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 hours ago

It's because AI never knows when to stop adding detail, so all AI images look, as one Lemmy user put it, "overcooked". That leads you to developing the heuristic that ANY highly detailed image could be AI generated.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 hours ago

Thatl do it, thanks. Its so obvious now.

Lol let the animals eat the rich, I don't go in for cannibalism. Just chuck em in a ditch, or force them all to work retail and fast food
