Goes at least back to 2013 and has been reposted without #Attribution so many times that it's difficult to trace when it was taken, by whom, and the context. Which is why, in my opinion, we all should make a habit to not boost photos that don't have attribution. It's hard enough to tell what's real and not with genAI and active disinfo campaigns around.
Amusing or inspiring as the photo is...
@meganL @echanda I get your point and mostly agree but I wasn’t attributing it to any time or place (I realize the replies here on Mastodon relentlessly do that; maybe the answer is “only post some things on bluesky”).
That said, it’s not AI (I have a hard rule about posting AI slop), at worst it’s photoshop or staged but again: it’s comedy, essentially a meme, and not a claim to some actual political action (except as suggestion maybe).
