I think that’s an AI glitch. I could be wrong about it but that’s been the case in other AI generated images.

Bet Anonymous had something to do with this.

That was my first thought. Either that or one of Elno's li'l DOGEys showing where their loyalties lie.

I'm going to buy Suetonius "new" book "Lives of the Caesars" to see what happens next.

Want to see the GIF? I'm sure it's everywhere by now, but here's one link:

This has the added benefit of showing it in the wild, as it were: it's a phone recording of a TV in a hallway, presumably in the HUD building.

Here’s the list of federal agencies DOGE has infiltrated or purged — it’s staggering:

U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), Department of the Treasury, Small Business Administration, National Nuclear Security Administration, Department of Energy, Department of Defense, Department of State, Department of Transportation, Department of Veterans Affairs, Department of Housing and Urban Development, Department of the Interior, Department of Commerce, Department of Agriculture, Environmental Protection Agency, Social Security Administration, Office of Personnel Management, Federal Election Commission, National Archives, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Securities and Exchange Commission, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Department of Homeland Security, and Department of Education.

Through this, DOGE has laid off thousands of experienced civil servants and threatened over two million more.

They've infiltrated and manipulated computer systems and accessed confidential, classified data. They've dragged portable beds into offices. They’ve made cuts to vital programs.

They’ve taken away food and services from kids and killed people.

Fab writing. Ta much. Would like to think ‘equity’ is ‘Equality’ though? Yes? Or am I daft?
