I love it, but it’s missing blood

And a broken golden egg on the ground

That's artist Francisco Goya, not the Goya that makes fascist frijoles.

[–] Decoy321@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Wait, what's this about fascist frijoles?

[–] TRBoom@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago (2 children)

The only thing I can think of was that the owner or CEO of Goya was super into Trump.

[–] ArugulaZ@kbin.social 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Correct. And he used his daughter as a spokeswoman for the beans.

(Why would a Mexican be pro-Trump? It would be like a fish in favor of being filleted and battered.)

Some Latines feel closer to the whiteness/machismo (read: misogyny) of American conservatism than they do their own marginalized (from an American perspective) ethnicity.

[–] Decoy321@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Ah, I remember that nonsense now! Thanks for the reminder.

I'll stick with Conchita and Badia for beans and sazon completo.

Me. Photoshop of "Saturn devouring his son", by Francisco de Goya.

I made it in 2022 for Twitter. After that I abandoned my account. With the recent "X" news, I thought it will be fine to use it again after correcting the colours and adding a few filters, because the original was very dark and saturated.

This is OC? It's fantastic!!!

[–] AapoL@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 years ago

I thought it was AI art!

[–] QuentinCallaghan@sopuli.xyz 16 points 2 years ago

I love the artistic effort put for that picture, and I love OC even more!

It's not sinking in.

[–] hahattpro@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I don't know who draw this, probably AI, but nice oil painting art.

[–] itsJoelle@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

[–] Forge33@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

[–] smoregooseboard@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

It's just X, believe it or not. Like Tesla X. What's your problem?

[–] homesnatch@lemmy.one 2 points 2 years ago

Elon just announced the new company motto... "X gonna give it to ya!"
