FAFO comes to mind.
I don’t feel bad for him in the least. I do feel somewhat for the fraction (probably small, though, thinking about it) of his employees who aren’t MAGA and just wanted a decent, non-controversial job making pillows.
They are victims of Lindell.
Crying because he hasn’t hid enough of his assets? He shouldn’t worry, the felon has his back.
So eating the face wasn’t enough?

It has nobody’s back.
Crosswalk buttons in Seattle have been hacked to play an Ai-generated recording of Jeff Bezos begging you not to raise his taxes.
Damn right he does:
ETA1: Sorry, I thought it was a gift link.
ETA2: Here’s a free one (I hope): https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/17/us/politics/trump-irs-audit-lindell.html?unlocked_article_code=1.AU8.har8.DG-6qqedYn-a&smid=url-share
This is amazing.
Unfortunately, as pointed out in the story it does cause a problem for people who have vision problems that rely on the audio prompts to let them know when it’s safe to cross, making things much less safe for them.
(Though I’ll say after decades of experience and multiple close calls, it just isn’t safe to be a pedestrian in Seattle period.)
I absolutely understand and recognize that risk. I just also think it’s amazing that one or more people thought of this and actually managed to do it. The reported scripts are hilarious and the sheer absurdity of a crosswalk button giving these speeches is still kind of wonderful.
I don’t know the design of these systems; the article said “button”, right, and that a tactile vibration still worked. Is the normal condition to have these buttons verbalize which way is safe to go? The auditory signals where I live is just a beep from across the road. I’m not sure if a spoken statement is harder to orient oneself towards than a beep from across a road?
I’m overthinking it now, though. The basic thing is still funny, despite the risks.
I agree with you, that’s why I didn’t just come right out and say that the people who did it should be ashamed. It gets out an important political message and yeah, it’s damn funny.
I don’t live in Seattle, but I usually overnight there a few times a year. Both there and here in Olympia, the crosswalk buttons will usually say “Wait” every few seconds while the light is red, then when the crossing sign lights up it’ll say something like “Walk sign is on across [Streetname]”, then start ticking like a clock when the flashing red hand comes up. It probably wouldn’t be much help if you were totally blind, but for someone who can see and has a good lay of the land but has trouble discerning detail I can see how it would be helpful.
I don’t have a facebook account, but I hear this post:
is generating a delightful response in the comments section.
Thought maybe someone who does could take a look and share a little schadenfreude.

I thought it must be a joke posting but it appears real. They also have a posting for lawn maintenance workers that must have a valid driver’s license AND pass drug and background screenings. Best of luck to AM PM Staffing Svcs!
