Back when computer graphics was just getting off the ground – we’re talking pre-Macintosh, never mind Windows – I was working for Litton Industries and the word went out, “Please don’t draw up our logo. Use one of these files instead.”
I see what you did there. We all see what you did there.
Isn’t this the same crew that copied Michelle Obama’s speech and the cake from Barak’s inauguration?
The initials “TS” also suggest a deeper message to those who put their faith in The Orange One to lead them to a brighter future….
Donald J. Trump is one impractical cat.
Indeed. The Orange Peril’s trophy Slovenian hooker plagiarized Michelle Obama not once, but at least three times. The most famous incident was her 2016 Republican convention speech, but she did it again two years later at one of her “Be Best” campaign speeches, and yet again in a related pamphlet they published.
I understand she is currently studying Michelle Obama’s Becoming, in anticipation of writing her own biography, Absconding.
“T” huh? I guess “CFSG” was too wordy and “Pravda” was a little too close to the truth.
I have been unfair. I just had the opportunity to see the first few sentences of a draft of the Slovenian hooker’s biography, and it’s totally different from Michelle Obama’s book, and entirely original.
The preface to Obama’s book begins thus:
When I was a kid, my aspirations were simple. I wanted a dog. I wanted a house that had stairs in it—two floors for one family. I wanted, for some reason, a four-door station wagon instead of the two-door Buick that was my father’s pride and joy. I used to tell people that when I grew up, I was going to be a pediatrician.
Whereas the preface to Melania’s book can be seen here to be entirely original, with a charm and elegance all its own:
When I was a kid, my aspirations were simple. I wanted a sugar daddy. One who would give me expensive shiny things yet be so imbecilic and shallow as to have no awareness whatsoever. I wanted a house that had elevators in it – gilded ones – 58 floors for one family. I wanted, for some reason, four four-carat diamonds on a pearl necklace instead of the cheap two-diamond imitation that my mother used to wear as she prowled the dim streets of Bratislava every night in pursuit of her profession. I used to tell people that when I grew up, I would really not care about anything, and would have a jacket to prove it.

This is not surprising. This crew likely scraped through school by plagiarizing essays, and copying homework off other kids. They learned that this was how you did work.
I know this is the pit, but c’mon.
Technically accurate:
I’m no fan of Melania but it really creeps me out that they did that.
I’m pretty sure it’s a joke article:
The Trump administration has yet to officially respond to the Dutch situation. Many on the White House are urging President Trump to build a border wall with the Netherlands. Others believe it’s just more ammunition they can use in the 2020 election. “We’re going to energize our base with this outrage,” one staffer asserted. “This is the best thing to happen to us since the boss said he loved grabbing women by the pussy.”
Yeah, it’s a joke. Not a terribly funny one.
They fact checked their own article.
OTOH, Google can’t find this anywhere else so maybe its a meta-joke.
He fact checked his own fact check
(I clicked a link on the fact checking above. It’s fact checking all the way down!)
The project’s goal is explicitly to copy other popular social websites, and is run by a bunch of old guys who don’t understand technology.
That they didn’t get creative with it isn’t particular amazing.
I’ll also note that while Twitter does have the bird icon, they also commonly use a ‘t’ icon; and Facebook just uses the letter ‘f’. A stylized single letter is pretty common for the space that they’re targeting.
I see a great future for you in translation.
Yeah, but it’s so deliciously truthy…
