A tweet claims a billboard with Elon Musk’s photo that reads “Defend billionaires” can be seen outdoors. But the sign is not real. It is the digital artwork of designer Martin Sprouse, and the image was published on Sprouse’s Instagram account the month before it spread on Twitter.
Episode is "my common enemy". The BBEG gives his Spanish English dictionary to a doctor he is trying to get to not sue him, his Spanish English dictionary claiming he "mastered the language". She responds in Spanish, and he says what you read me type.
I feel like it would work well as one. We probably need more of it; that kind of “Intentional bad messaging” that gets people angry at the thing being advertised.
I’ve been thinking so much about this movie as the Epstein files rolled out. These monsters were literally living amongst us and there’s a whole ecosystem of sycophants that enable them.
Meaning it exists in the real world, but was put up by Martin Sprouse (not Elonk), or the billboard doesn't really exist, just the image was created by Martin Sprouse?

Another artist Jeff , makes art signs that change the image when you look at them from different angles. These are called lenticular images. (I thought this was his work at first). The bottom image is definitely based off of Jeff's design.
I actually chatted with Jeff a bit on Instagram because I have dabbled in making lenticular images. And asked him a bit about his process but he uses a "flip image" style and has a company print them.
Which was not what I'm trying to do. I was trying to make 3d images that use like 10 interlaced images (vs 2 he uses) and I was hand aligning and laminating them.
We did chat a bit about ideas and the ones he has done though. He seems like a really cool guy. I believe he has a background in graphic design.
Also he sells the lenticular images on his website. Decent prices too.
Considering they are kind of expensive to make. He probably barely makes a profit.

...are you taking credit for someone else's helpful comment, or did you forget which sockpuppet you were driving today?

I'm referencing a line from scrubs...
Agrivar@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 202d
Well, that's certainly better than either of my guesses!
I'd ask why, but that would be facetious of me - I damn well know I do the same thing from time to time.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yes, They Live is a real movie and it’s fan-fuckin’-tastic. Definitely need to watch.

Apparently not

Probably in Texas, in the land he owns.

By the way I would never eat a rich person. They taste like shit
Stupidmanager@lemmy.world · 13 pts · 202d
look, lets just agree to recycle the billionaires. It's probably the best thing we can do to make small amends for the damage they have done.
ganryuu@lemmy.ca · 13 pts · 202d
I see "eat the rich" as "use them as fertilizer".
SuiXi3D@fedia.io · 9 pts · 202d
Compost the rich.
nonentity@sh.itjust.works · 4 pts · 202d
Don’t eat shit, mulch the rich.
chiliedogg@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 202d
That's just eating them with extra steps.
nonentity@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 202d
That’s one potential path, and the indirection contributes to hygiene.
BranBucket@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 202d
Ew... no. Gross. Compost him instead.

We need more like this. Using real billboards and their glasses equivalents.

Same to you! Now I feel like I need some animation.

No fucking way, is that top one a real billboard?

No. Full answer in the comments.
