Trump Is Gaslighting Us (big surprise 🧐)

“In response to the #Trump administration’s black fog, #Goldberg…released the texts in order to allow people to reach their own conclusions. For its part, the Trump administration once again wants you to believe that two and two make five.

IN THE 1944 FILM #GASLIGHT, a young woman, Paula Alquist, falls in love with and marries an older man, Gregory Anton. Over the course of the film, Gregory—cunning, moody, charismatic—deceives Paula into thinking that she is losing her mind.”

🧵 1/2: #Microsoft's #copilot is totally #trans 🏳️‍⚧️ phobic!

It will #gaslight you saying "ha ha ha, I can't talk about this I am only just learning!"🤭

Below, refusing to adjust #AI output to #gender #prompts. Interestingly, #Teams did adjust when I said "I am Laurence, adjust", which clearly shows a) it is possible b) it is by design Copilot has no recourse for #misgendering

PS: full disclosure: I am not trans myself, my name is misgendered in non #Francophone countries.

#FnS invited on #Gabbard to #Gaslight everyone as to what we saw with our own eyes in the Oval Office yesterday and she did not disappoint.

Host Shannon Breem asked Gabbard if #Zelensky "had a point" that #Putin can't be trusted to make a deal with no guarantees (which #Putin repeatedly broke in the past.)

Gabbard's answer was to declare "[T****] is the only one trying to end this war that has been going on for over 3 years", but never actually answers the question.

The American people apparently know something Donnie Dumbass does not: Putin can't be trusted.

#Gaslighting viendrait du film #Gaslight, de George #cukor, de la pièce Gas Light : c'est l'affaiblissement de l'éclairage au gaz dans la maison qd le mari utilisait celui du grenier alors qu'il cherche un trésor caché. Sa femme le lui fait remarquer mais son mari lui affirme que c'est son imagination

C'est la tentative de rendre l'autre fou.lle, en lui faisant croire des choses, en la manipulant par le langage

Undetectable body #camera suggestions please.
I need to get proof of #abuse.

Never used them before so if you have & can recommend an easy to use one I would be very grateful.
Authorities don’t care about #psychological abuse & #neglect because there’s no proof so I need to get evidence of it & have missed a lot of opportunities. I need to wear it any time I’m around anyone else here. Never know when someone will do something awful.

I’m very sick so can’t be too complicated to use.

Help appreciated. I need to get out here.

It seems like every week brings us another article that tries to #gaslight #GenZ into believing that their #behavior at #work is not normal.

fortune.com/2025/01/21/workers

Like, let me get this straight… #millennials were taught to #suppress any part of themselves that could look #unprofessional #online. We had actual #college events that #taught us how to “#sanitize your Facebook”, because god forbid you have a picture of yourself wearing a bikini or drinking a beer. Or a post saying a naughty word.

Gas mantles get very hot.

There are still British Gas employees whose job it is to light Londons remaining 200-odd working gas lamps. Imagine your job title is literally serial gaslighter.

(This gas lamp in Carting Lane, London was placed over a sewer in Victorian times to encourage stagnant gas to rise and escape through the vent.
It’s the only one left which is still working.) #gaslight #gaslamp #london #sewers #history #britishgas

In addition, if you look very carefully at the right hand side, just below the glazed section, you can see the small tap which would have been turned on to let the gas flow through to the mantle before it was lit. This would have been done each night by one of Glasgow's army of leeries or lamplighters. They'd then return in the morning to turn off the tap, so extinguishing the flame.

This Is My Glasgow

A former gas lamp (now converted to an electric one) on North Gate to Victoria Park in the west of Glasgow. It's one of a pair created, along with the rest of the gate, in 1887, by Walter MacFarlane's Saracen Foundry. You can tell it was originally a gas lamp because it has an open base and a vented cap at the top (needed to allow oxygen in to feed the flame).

To the #right (whatever that is? I really don't know anymore) the movie #Wicked is both #woke and "pro-Trump." I think what they mean is that everything terrible they are accused of being is true but it doesn't matter because they'll just #gaslight us all, including themselves. I think that's why for them #hypocrisy isn't a bad thing and #logic and #reason is beside the point. It's all about the #narrative and the more contradictory the better. Gotta keep us confused.
