Edgelord minions of Peter Thiel left this manifesto on the door to my building yesterday. Guess they were firing a shot across our bow but they didn't count that the Engineering School deals really harshly with unauthorized posters. To add to the indignity, the buttons in the elevator pictured weren't working until I went down to the basement and called it from there.

O vídeo é dividido em duas partes. Na parte superior, há uma pessoa com longos cabelos escuros, usando um microfone e um fone de ouvido, sentada em um ambiente escuro, possivelmente um estúdio de gravação. Na parte inferior, há cenas de um campo de futebol onde jogadores estão interagindo.
Os jogadores estão vestindo uniformes brancos com detalhes em vermelho e azul, com o patrocinador "SUPERBET" visível no peito. Um jogador com cabelo grisalho e tatuagens no braço está conversando com outro jogador, que tem o número 13 e o nome "ENZO" na parte de trás do uniforme. Eles parecem estar em um momento de celebração ou discussão. Em seguida, o jogador com o número 28 e o nome "R. FRANCO" se junta à conversa, e os três jogadores interagem, com gestos de comemoração e conversa.
A cena é iluminada por luzes de campo, e o gramado é verde e bem cuidado. O texto "DUB: [@]GUSTAVOMACHADOG" aparece na parte inferior da tela, indicando que a voz na parte superior é uma dublagem do conteúdo da parte inferior.

They were quick to identify that Trump’s campaign didn’t really seem to be about fighting antisemitism @ all, but rather about using that fight as a justification for govt overreach. Roth, a historian & the pres. of #Wesleyan told The New Yorker, “Anti-antisemitism can be appropriated by any political movement. They can use that as a vehicle for persecuting researchers & institutions that are not aligned w/the ideology of the person in charge.”

The background features a mystical landscape with a castle resembling Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, surrounded by mist and flying creatures like dragons and birds. The foreground shows a character in a dark cloak standing on a cliff, facing the castle. The text "Can't check for saved data in cloud storage. You can play the game with new saved data." is prominently displayed in the center. Below this text, there are two buttons: "Play Game" on the left and "Try Again" on the right.
