    School blown up?

    This is the first I’ve seen, and it looks like a black square Photoshopped to cover up the kerb near a door? What’s this about a school being blown up?

    I’ll be honest, I thought it was someone humorously censoring one of those fairy doors, pretending it’s a government cover-up of the supernatural.

      We’re experiencing a bit of fediverse drama. https://infosec.pub/post/42793922

      This is ostensibly a photo of a bloody backpack taken at an Iranian school that was bombed this weekend by the US and Israel, killing dozens of children. It’s abhorrent and unforgivable.

      A post with this photo was removed from a major fediverse picture community, but a clear reason possibly wasn’t given.

      One possible issue is that this image has not been verified and has shown up in several places in ways that have clearly been manipulated by AI. This makes it’s authenticity as a real photograph questionable.

      The events themselves are horrific, and some argument has been made about the image potentially being “political” — which is a disgusting argument almost always used to oppress and suppress the unprivileged. The prior argument would be reasonable, but calling inconvenient and uncomfortable injustices “political” is a behavior that needs to end.

      There’s a bloody backpack behind the square. It was a little girl’s just that morning. Now it lays there motionless.
