 It really seems amazing to me that the Dems and Biden are loving everything up by being succ-neolibs bent to the yoke of capital, and all the Right can do is repeatedly self-own themselves with COVID, cry about Trump supporting vaccinations and attack their only viable political leader, and say "Let's Go Brandon" under their breath like an edgy preteen trying to avoid detention, instead of just cussing The fact that these are our two parties is a dark and hearty lol TulliusCicero fucked around with this message at 18:24 on Jan 2, 2022 |

Breitbart did include the cause of death of those Border Patrol agents (in paragraph two), but then tried to spin it as "Look at all these brave people who died because they came in contact with those FILTHY FOREIGNERS who crossed our borders and coughed their evil miasma all over America!"

Overall, not just law enforcement, vax rate of federal workers is over 90 percent now. They're the agency that has been pushing back hardest, actually. This is a month old but I can't find a more recent look at the issue. If there's something more recent on the Border Patrol specifically then I'd be happy to see the link. And I have no specific information on this but I'd be shocked if there isn't a shithead underground of fake vax cards and chain of command looking the other way at obvious fraud, because that whole agency is shot through with fash and corruption all the way to the top and needs to be burned to the ground.

Or maybe these workers got some of those fake vaccine cards.

(Sadly, this is just her personal account and not her official one, bu then she's been far less brazen on that account. Somehow.) e.: I love the fact that she couldn't even spell her last name right.

On the one hand, probably not a good idea to make your official seal a bunch of first result Google image searches thrown together with standard fonts in mspaint. On the other, how much of a worry is forgery going to be when nobody will actually believe it's real at first glance

I'm an (out of work) graphic designer and production artist and I get poo poo like this ALL THE TIME. I've done a lot of poo poo for the state and counties and it's astonishing how amateur so much of their materials are. The loving ballots for the Alachua County elections are done in Publisher and almost everything else is submitted in MS Word. It's astonishingly hard to get a vector version of the FL state seal or even a high resolution sufficient to enlarge enough for a banner or large sign. Very few places even care how their work is prepared and a lot of print show and sign shop owners don't care much either. I show my work (and I'm pretty good) and explain how none of this is clip art and it's all vector formatted. They don't seem to give a poo poo and just want to know how long it took me. More than 15 minutes? Sorry, too slow. Someone gets paid to design poo poo like that and I can't land a loving job. So tired of hearing how very very talented I am yet not being hired because I want more than the loving $15/hr they'll pay some kid fresh out of art school.

I don't think anyone's getting paid to design them. They probably just throw the job at an unpaid intern who said they could use whatever program on their resume. Edit: No offense to interns, but this looks exactly like the sort of job someone with no design experience whatsoever would do after being given a list of objects to include.

Yeah, it does and that happens a lot. Like I alluded to, nobody wants to pay for professional graphic design but usually almost everyone wants it to look polished and bad rear end. Then you get stuff like this where apparently people don't care or even know what they're looking at. Like how do you not see that none of those circle/text paths are aligned? And I bet none of the raster images are higher than 72ppi (assuming the whole thing isn't done in Photoshop) and the image itself is maybe 5 inches. Then they'll want to put it on a 4 foot banner or a vehicle and wonder why it looks like pixellated poo poo when it's printed. The more I stare at it, the angrier I get.

That’s evidence of a conspiracy to obstruct congress. It may, depending on what it says, also be evidence that Trump was told he would be violating statutes ahead of the insurrection. They also say that WH counsel provided analysis after the 6th that Trump may have committed treason. The official government lawyer for the office of the president appears to have issued guidance that Trump may have committed treason. This isn’t some rando pundit, this is someone who knows what treason is and what the criteria for it are. Jeesus gently caress, why isn’t this every headline?

Oh yeah I didn't change the shape of the 'circle' I only rotated it 45 degrees at a time. Also made removing the wings from the line hard because you couldn't just copy another part of the curve and paste it, because the angle changes. Then it causes clipping on the vertical and the eagle misaligns and I just said "gently caress it I'm not putting in effort for something that didn't receive effort in the first place"

Tesseraction posted:Oh yeah I didn't change the shape of the 'circle' I only rotated it 45 degrees at a time. Nah. It was some art major temping at the office, someone's nephew or a person who knows how to use Word and has dabbled in Publisher just enough to learn putting text on an arc. Or a person who did the company picnic banner that one time. I doubt they just quit on it so much as not knowing how constrain proportions and align objects, it was likely the best they could do and their compensation was doing it on the clock. The eagle, flag, bible and cross and all that other poo poo were png's with the transparency already done that someone downloaded from a Google search since I don't see any obvious bad use of Photoshop's magic wand tool. The entire thing REEKS of MS Publisher done by a person who knows just enough to be dangerous and publish their HOA or church newsletter at PIP every month. I can practically guarantee that if you place it in InDesign or Illustrator that it will come in as an opaque white square on an 8.5 x 11 sheet and if you put it against a colored background or anything, the circular border won't knock out. ... Didn't we used to have a Bad Graphic Design thread? Maybe I'll start one and get off this funny derail since I've seen and fixed and rescued SO MUCH bad art spanning decades and made it print.
