The latest one on my FB feed is a supposed photo of Devil’s Tower with a ginormous orange moon behind it that actually dwarfs the tower in size and has an enormous amount of moon terrain detail. I also belong to an Alaska group where it’s fairly easy to identify fakery, as I’m familiar with a large portion of the state. People try to pass off photos of the Rockies as being photos of the Alaska Range or Denali, etc. ---

Coincidentally, I just saw a supposed photo of Devil’s Tower but inverted; one reply called it “Devil’s Toilet Bowel”!

Yeah, I saw that one too. I’ve been to Devil’s Tower, so it made me laugh. This morning’s weirdness was a photo of Bryce Canyon labeled “Denali National Park”. I don’t respond to that sort of thing because that’s what the poster wants you to do. ---

Not that I doubt the flowers were fake, but people who live in flats sometimes have allotments; there are two allotment sites within easy walking distance of Hilldrop Lane. ---

Something’s changed; checked Facebook twice today and my feed has only been populated by posts from the groups I’m in or followed accounts. No AI garbage at all. Dunno what but something has definitely changed. ---

“People You May Know” has been getting weird, though. Just in the past few days, I’ve dismissed: - various “Emergency Housing” accounts. - several different “Jodie Foster” accounts. - several random women in a “twerking” pose. - a handful of different “Silicone Baby” accounts. ---
