@2ck If you have background to this piece of art that I haven’t been able to dig up, I’d be glad to have it.

@EdS Thanks for digging this up. I went about 10 pages deep into a reverse image search and it was all imgur/reddit derp all the way down.I need to bring my search skills into the present decade.But it worries me because I'm starting to see more original work become completely encased in a cancerous citogenisis where the original is obliterated and the made-up-for-lols version becomes the only version.

Agreed! Apropos of which, sort of, I read today:"some genuinely impressive journalism: how do you go from a single picture of an unusually obese Russian soldier (which doesn’t show up in reverse image search) to figuring out exactly who he is and why it was taken?"https://twiiit.com/ArbiterOfTweets/status/1545651614253555712links to the blog version of the story athttps://www.knack.be/factcheck/factcheck-nee-deze-foto-toont-geen-russische-generaal-majoor/Skills which combat disinformation and confusion are ever more valuable!

@EdS @readsteven not to downplay the investigation, but the thread actually starts with them using a reverse image search, Pimeyes.
