some with a hat on, at least one with a hoodie hood up. Any other tells? That one doesn’t convince me.

I live in coastal Oregon where people wear rainwear all the time with hood down if it’s not pouring , and some with a hat or hoodie under the rainwear with the hood up (me, for example, often if I’m out in the rain for just a couple minutes) even if its pouring.

would have been an equally effective mockery, and without using an AI tool trained on millions of stolen images.

By using AI, the message sent was "I really don't care about the theft of artists' work and how badly they've been hurt."

AI slop.

They're all or mostly liberals, but they hate AI slop and everything it represents.

See these Bluesky responses to a union president who thoughtlessly posted AI slop:

American Federation of Teachers president thought AI slop would be "fun" to share on Bluesky. Big mistake.

If you support unions (DUers should) but still think it's OK to post AI slop, see the hundreds of Bluesky replies

the Republicans with excellent political cartoons.........but sometimes the cartoonists go soft, like Doonesbury for instance, or maybe it is because of pressure from the Republican Oligarch owned newspapers that will only let him get by with just a little bit of ribbing......

about an AI issue, you could private message them. But, no, you choose public embarrassment instead. What does that make you?

to the details of AI. I haven't had much time to devote to it.

I wrote this reply to you not knowing the firestorm of post above yours.

I hadn't considered that art or copyrighted material may or may not be involved. I didn't see anything around it at the source.

Thank you for alerting me that my ignorance might be embarrassing or offensive. I'll try harder.

Or does her head look too big for her body? I think they photoshopped her body, to make her look thinner. But left that weird alien big head alone.

Her proportions seem way off from normal head to body ratios.

4. Gossip from film insiders:
Tue Jan 27, 2026, 04:40 PM
Tuesday
Another source who spoke to Rolling Stone suggested almost two-thirds of the crew who worked on the film in New York had requested their name be pulled from the credits of the documentary.

A third anonymous source who worked on Melania said, "I feel a little bit uncomfortable with the propaganda element of this. But Brett Ratner was the worst part of working on this project."

https://www.rawstory.com/melania-trump-doc/#

Brett Ratner was subject to a number of sexual assault and harassment allegations in 2017.

Also, Ratner is an horrible person. In addition to the sexual assaults, he's also friendly with Netanyahu.

Most of them know each other, at least by reputation. Most of the "artsy-craftsy" folks in NY vote D, so they'd be embarrassed if word ever got out that they worked on this druck. I guess that's also true of the artsy people in California too. Take the paycheck but not the film credit.
