@dnkboston OK, let me be the dork asking the question for all dorks: What's "p-hexus" and "e-ron" (or something that sounds like it) ? In my defence English is not my first language. @blogdiva

@blogdiva Pretty impressive. This kind of agit-prop, I'm here for. Let's just say the MAGA-top-dogs had it coming.
@blogdiva Pretty close to the mark too, " 'cause mee-too was on". 20 years earlier, and they might have had an even easier time of running rough-shod over common decency.

@blogdiva They used AI video generation, not Lego Movie Maker.

@blogdiva Sad to say that what the track is defending includes even worse treatment for women, in that it is systematic, done in an official capacity by law-enforcement in Iran.

@blogdiva I am shocked they managed to coax an AI video generator to keep the character designs consistent. Pretty impressive.

@blogdiva I think it’s someplace or someone else not from Iran Gov. They would not speak quite that way I don’t think.
Because it’s all AI it’s easy enough to replicate, but it misses the mark of authenticity by crudeness, imo. -
@blogdiva ... *This* is going to be in future history "books". The world has become *weird*.

@hakona When pronounced correctly (not the American way), Iran is "EE-ron". Similarly, Iraq is "EE-rock". @dnkboston @blogdiva

@blogdiva There's quite a few of them and someone is going to have fun with future history books between neither side being the good guys and the memes.

@blogdiva They did. And they did it well.
