screenshot of a post by Robert Reich where he asks, "Is this what Trump had in mind for his Golden Age?" Under his question is a chart showing that 2025 was the worst year for job growth outside of a recession since 2003
i woulda said "since the beginning of the century" but maybe the economic slump post 9-11/ Enron was somehow not officially considered a recession?
anyway the job market went from the best of the century in 2021 (thanks, Joe) to pure **** in 2025

BBC header saying:
"US discussing options to acquire Greenland including using military, White House says" changed in "US
threatens to invade and annex Greenland"
@sevenishmagpies #ALT4you because everyone needs to get this joke: the English brand name on this bag of rice noodles is "No Wang"
My goal for 2025 was to reach 10,000 subscribers on YouTube.
It is 21:42 in Denmark, and I am inches away from the finish line… if you have not yet subscribed and you want to help me reach the goal, my channel is right here:
@alcinnz You can use the #alt4you tag for that, as explained here: https://fedi.tips/how-do-i-make-posts-more-accessible-to-blind-people-on-mastodon-and-the-fediverse/
some clever text explaining trump voters are stupid #ALT4you
That's basically all the alt text you'll ever need for this account ☝️, cool huh?
But more seriously, to whomever is running this dude's account for him: just copy paste the texts and put it as alt. You're making him look like an ablist asshole.
(Now I think it's time for me to block, before my inner snark takes over 🤣)

Oregon Trail meme, but says "You have died from listening to RFK Jr" rather than "You have died of dysentery"
Meme with three cat pictures.
1. Orange cat is contented. Big smile at the camera. Caption: January.
2. Different cat, two overlaid photos of it, one of them color inverted, dark background, very ghostly mood. Caption: Disassociation.
3. Same picture as 1, contented orange cat, but now wearing a Santa hat. Caption: 12 days until Christmas.
2 side-by-side panels
panel 1: 2 guys in a small boat, above them is text "suspected drug traffickers" and a missile labeled "kill them all"
panel 2: dude in suit in yacht-like small boat, above him is text "known drug trafficker" and a gift basket parachuting in labeled "pardon"
can't read the cartoonist's name
No mention of SSecretary of War Crimes
Zero evidence thus far to back up "suspected"

post from Alex Marino
[Trump walks into Oval Office alone. Shuts door. We hear a whoosh from off camera]
Trump: I don't get it Al, why haven't I leaped!?
Al: Stay at it, Sam. Ziggy says there's a 95% chance you're here to get this guy impeached.
Trump: WHAT MORE COULD I POSSIBLY DO!?
Behind the text is a washed out picture of Sam and Al

@anae #Alt4You in English:
A grey wall with a block of 3 switches, and a fire extinguisher, which has a black stylized painting or decal around it of a thin person with long hair, possibly a woman, doing scuba diving as if the extinguisher was her oxygen tank, going up and doing an OK gesture with the raised left hand.

@bob @futurebird Illustrations of vehicles showing how far in front typical 5yo and 3yo kids need to be to be seen by the driver of the vehicle
The Abrams tank has better visibility than the passenger trucks listed ( Chevy Silverado, Ford F250, Dodge Ram Power Wagon, and GMC Sierra )
The tank driver can see the kids closer to the vehicle so seems less likely to overlook them and run them over
Illustration doesn't show why kids might be playing in front of an army tank
@michelmorin AI alttext est nul. Il apire à il y a trois panneaux mais il y a quatre. L'AI rate le premier dessin est un T. Rex

Cartoon of tiny hands Trump with a tiny axe in his hands standing like a zombie facing two turkeys ( birds, not people from his cabinet )
One turkey is saying to the other: "He says he'll only pardon us if we buy millions of his crypto con."
The signature seems to say "Slyngstad"
Looking again, the last work might be "coin". Both work, but "con" is more accurate

editorial cartoon from DH Ginski
A lake labeled "Epstein Files" with a huge dam in front that has sprung a leak
Above on a hill looking down at the dam and lake is a truck labeled "Federal Epstein Management Agency aka the DoJ" and the driver is saying "This is one agency that Trump does not want dismantled!"
