Looks like a cheap Bic. The cap probably fell off at some point and thus began her unwitting art project. ( @picklefacejones Right you are. I looked twice and still missed it.)

My English buddy told the story, about how he was on first date, when a pub brawl broke out. His petite date immediately picked up two mugs and put her back against his. I met her about 15 years after the fact, when he introduced me to his wife. A kitten with the heart of a lion, lol.

In 2018, Nasim Najafi Aghdam, a YouTuber, entered YouTube headquarters, shot and wounded 3 people with a 9mm and then killed herself.

YouTube has decided to start running ads on smaller channels, that fail to qualify as members of their Partner Program, something that they very rarely did before. So channels that are ad friendly, but have less than a 1000 subscribers and less than 4000 yearly view hours, might now be monatized.

Before anyone jumps in to tell me how greedy YouTube is, I already know. The content creators I follow have all been regularly complaining about that for the last year or two.
The underlying truth is that nothing is free. You watch "free" TV, you gotta watch the ads. You don't want to watch ads, you pay for a service provider and FF through the ads on the PVR you rent or bought or you subscribe to an ad free streaming service like Netflix. "Free" Facebook mines all your personal data. Free to play games are an ad every 2 minutes. You want to use YouTube, watch their ads or pay to not. You want a platform to host and share your popular and now, not so popular content, pay through the nose for the "privilege". Like I said before, you have options.

So it seems they're following the Gold Rush model. Individually, a small content creator who has a small number of followers and views would, if properly compensated, be in line for pennies, or fractions thereof, a month-the massive overhead and distribution costs of servicing 10's - 100's? of millions of small accounts would significantly outweigh any potential payouts. But like the tons of dirt the Gold Rush guys sift to get a few grams of gold, YT is most assuredly set up to make money on the massive volumes they'll sift. It's as if you walked up to that dump truck of dirt and added a teaspoon of dirt. Your share would be miniscule fractions of a penny, but hey, at least they give you a teaspoon and offer to carry your contribution to the sifter. So your options are to stop posting, gripe fruitlessly, grin and bear it while trying to get big enough to qualify or just enjoy your ability to view, create and post content at no cost-save for watching those ads, lol.

You're right, twice. The picture was originally posted in 2018-so absolutely nothing to do with Covid. It's simply two, definitely English speaking tourists, who came across some anti-tourist graffiti, and like anyone with any sense of humour, they decided to take an ironic photo to share with their friends back home.
"How was your trip to <insert country with English-speaking graffiti artists>?"
"Great! They really rolled out the Welcome Wagon for us."(substitute their appropriate cultural reference), said while showing the photo.
Very light hilarity ensues.
The End.

It's legit, at over 100 meters high. Search for "The Memorial Museum of Cosmonautics" on Google Earth. The only thing that may have been added is the flare of the exhaust, Photoshop or lucky reflection of the sun?
