Much too harsh for this gold-domed "too important to really hold to account" CEO. Perhaps a mildly stern, yet askance look (or two, if the crowd rumbles for more)

Unfortunately, as ControlNet (https://rentry.org/dummycontrolnet) gets better, it's going to get a whole lot harder to distinguish the fakes. It's already pretty good, but a lot of people don't use it regularly because it adds even more processing time to an already time consuming process. Faster hardware and better optimised code will cut that tiime down. The future is going to get messy.

People usually get what they deserve, unless they deserve what they get. I sure hope the young ones all fired up (and rightly so) about the situation in Gaza also come to realize that by withholding their vote for Biden, or voting for a 3rd party candidate without a chance of winning, they are guaranteeing that Trump will take office, and if they think things are bad now, just wait till he starts (or rather continues) dismantling democracy. Then they will never have free speech nor the right to protest again.
