From the post:

>A Canadian publisher is snapping at US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth for his unauthorized use of its children's book character to justify lethal military strikes and make light of potential war crimes in the Caribbean. Kids Can Press was shell shocked to learn that Hegseth, presumably through AI, turned its popular Franklin the Turtle character into a special forces operative and potentially extrajudicial murderer in a post on his personal X account late Sunday. 'Franklin the Turtle is a beloved Canadian icon who has inspired generations of children and stands for kindness, empathy, and inclusivity. 'We strongly condemn any denigrating, violent, or unauthorized use of Franklin's name or image, which directly contradicts these values,' the Toronto-based publishing house said in a statement Monday.

The head is circular. There is no left or right on a sphere.

Yes, but if you look at Peppa, the eyes are definitely in the wrong places. The thing is creepy.
