A week ago, the Cuomo campaign released a long, racist video depicting criminals endorsing Mamdani. Critics called the ad racist. The campaign deleted it shortly after it was posted and blamed the whole thing on a junior staffer.

Saw an article about how conservatives and even trump are "advising" Cuomo...

And it's super obvious.

Cuomo and the neoliberal are so out of touch with Dem voters, they still think what works on MAGA works on us. Because to someone from the generational wealth/power as Cuomo...

We are the same to them. We're poor and low class and they've been so segregated from the common people we're just one out-group to them.

Nothing matters except we don't have wealth.

We need to start treating economic bigotry as a real thing, the wealthy have for centuries.

Best part of the article:

My first thought, too, was "That's an odd choice of wording", but... it's exactly what it sounds like.

[...]But when the bill stands it looks positively inflated, almost as if the video generator used to make Cuomo’s ad was trained on MPREG fetish art of the bill and not the original cartoon itself. The thick and luscious red lips are present whether the bill is leaning or standing.

Towards the end of the ad, an anthropomorphic phone with a ChatGPT logo wanders into the scene. Standing next to the pregnant bill, I could not but help but think that the phone is the father of whatever child the bill carried.

My observation led to an argument in the 404 Media Slack channel and opinions were split. “It does not seem pregnant to me,” said Emanuel Maiberg.

Jason Koebler, however, came to my defense. He circled the pregnant belly of the cartoon bill and shared it. “Baby is stored in the circle area,” he said.

Uhhh... Once again, weirdest timeline 😅

[–] SpaceScotsman@startrek.website 31 points 4 days ago

I first read this as MPEG and thought they were talking about the video encoding.

I wish they were talking about the video encoding.

It reminds me of Ben Garrison's hornyposting about AOC. Calling him stupid without really elaborating, trying to shame him based on his previous job, and so on.

Ben is obsessed with her honestly

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 7 points 4 days ago

Yeah he's been doing that a lot. May he rest in piss.

That was so weird to watch.

The article references two videos; the AI MPREG Schoolhouse Rock Bill:
https://nitter.privacyredirect.com/andrewcuomo/status/1983919479936409617?
where ~~the worst~~ one particularly ridiculous thing (apart from the obvious) is the totally unironical ChatGPT impersonation. It says "It's true" unironically. Really, this video wants its watchers to ask ChatGPT how competent Mamdani is. It's not an oracle ffs. It's not real!
The other video:
https://nitter.privacyredirect.com/prem_thakker/status/1981150231174746370? They took that one down because of racism.

But really, both videos are total trash both technically and content wise. People should be outraged that their taxes are being wasted to produce this slop (to quote one of the vids).

[–] Pandantic@midwest.social 2 points 3 days ago

Wow, that first one was so bad. Like every part about it was bad. I am surprised anyone “paid” for it to run anywhere.

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

You think the worst part about the video is that chatgpt said "it's true"?

[–] Taldan@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

I think the part that bothers me the most is the fact Cuomo apparently paid for that slop?

[–] archonet@lemy.lol 22 points 4 days ago

Well, that's a brand new sentence.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 16 points 4 days ago (2 children)

First off, I don't know what MPREG is and I don't want to AAAAAIIIIGGH I DON'T WANT TO KN-goddammit.

[–] gnutrino@programming.dev 14 points 4 days ago (3 children)

It's a video format, isn't it.

[–] eestileib@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 4 days ago

It's JD Vance's #2 search on AO3.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

Yeah it's one made by a loving union between Captain Kirk and Mr Spock. Google it for more info

Just wait till he figures out what ffmpeg is

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

Well that's just the natural result of a man getting eiffel towered by two women

Don't kink-shame Nipples Cuomo

[–] MiddleAgesModem@lemmy.world 17 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Didn't Mamdani already beat Cuomo?

[–] ImADifferentBird@lemmy.blahaj.zone 33 points 4 days ago

Mamdani beat Cuomo for the Democratic nomination, but because of the way New York elections work, Cuomo was able to keep running as the candidate of another party, which he founded specifically for this election.

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 12 points 4 days ago

Just in the primaries. Iirc Cuomo switched parties.

[–] Krauerking@lemy.lol 8 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Oh good.

I saw this elsewhere and had to double check it was posted here.
That headline is insane to comprehend even just a couple years ago.

[–] Smokeless7048@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

I still don't understand what it means

[–] SlartyBartFast@sh.itjust.works 14 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Wtf is MPREG? Multi-Player Rear-End Game?

If so, sign me up

[–] ImADifferentBird@lemmy.blahaj.zone 20 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

You asked...

Tap if you really want to know.MPreg = male pregnancy. It's a fairly popular fetish in the dark corners of the internet.

[–] SlartyBartFast@sh.itjust.works 20 points 4 days ago

I like my acronym better

This means he's losing.

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 7 points 4 days ago

I can’t believe it actually sourced “chatgpt” for a fact it claimed.

[–] cjoll4@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Why is the bill wearing a Pepsi logo
