How does this happen, Hulu??

My pronoia conspiracy brain sometimes entertains the idea that #HighlightsMagazine was priming us.

[James Tate @JamesTate121]

Mitch McConnell’s team released yet another hospital photo, and apparently they forgot that some of us grew up doing the “What’s Wrong With This Picture?” puzzles in Highlights magazine.
Because I have questions. A LOT of questions.
First, why does the sign above the door appear to say Room 411 while the sign beside the exact same door says Room 412? And why are the room numbers apparently INSIDE the room?
Then there’s what appears to be a paper chart hanging from the bed. Yes, I know some hospitals still use paper for certain things, but plenty of nurses are going to look at that setup and immediately question it. Charts aren’t beside beds anymore and haven’t been in years. If a place does use paper charts, they’re kept at the nurses station.
Now look at the IV. The bag appears full and doesn’t appear to be connected to Mitch. And what appears to be an Alaris IV pump setup looks like it has two channels but no control module—the “brain” needed to operate it.
Then I started looking around the room.
Why are there multiple hand sanitizer dispensers? Why is one positioned where it is? Why are an otoscope and ophthalmoscope mounted on the wall right beside the patient bed? Why does the angle and perspective of the bed itself look strange?
Now look at the glasses. The reflections caught my attention because what appears to be reflected in them doesn’t seem to correspond clearly with what’s around or behind the photographer. The apparent overhead lighting reflected in the glasses also doesn’t seem consistent with the way the room itself is lit.
Then there’s Mitch himself. Zoom in and parts of his face—particularly around his mouth and glasses—look strange to me. That could absolutely be compression from repeatedly uploading, downloading and screenshotting an image, but I’m looking at the entire picture, not one isolated pixel.
And after reportedly being hospitalized for weeks, he’s standing there, dressed in jeans and that familiar red checkered shirt, looking remarkably camera-ready.
Any one of these things might have a perfectly reasonable explanation. Maybe all of them do.
But when you release a photograph specifically to reassure the public that everything is fine, and I spend the next twenty minutes playing the nurse’s edition of Highlights magazine trying to figure out what the hell I’m looking at, your reassurance campaign may need a little work.
I’m not declaring the photo AI. I’m not declaring it Photoshopped. I’m pointing at the things I can see with my own two eyes and asking questions.
Because at this point, I don’t need another carefully staged photograph.
I need some answers. It's more AI slop with the same shirt on.

I still DO NOT understand how so many of you were hoodwinked into believing the government should not use the money you pay in taxes to create a social safety net that benefits you, fund public healthcare, lower housing costs, and make daily life more affordable.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Peter Thiel, the billionaire founder of Palantir, called Pope Leo “a Chinese communist agent” for writing that AI must be used to “truly benefit the common good, and is not just used to accumulate wealth and power in the hands of a few.”

Who do you trust? Pope Leo or Mr. Thiel?

[Political Punk @actingliketommy]

Socialism isn't "free stuff" it is literally just using your tax dollars doing something to benefit you and other workers instead of using it to buy a stadium for a billionaire. That's it. That's all it is.

[Cornelius Edward Snider @CoryTheCurator]

Meanwhile, he's trying to have the government take stake in companies which, you know, is literally communism. #intel
