The image is of a four panel comic.
The first panel shows Sarah, the protagonist, holding a red ball labeled "A SILLY MEME".
The second panel shows Sarah taking the ball and going through a door labeled "GROUP CHAT".
The third panel shows a group of women sitting together and consoling one woman in the center. The woman in the center is saying "...And that's how it happened. It's been the worst day of my life."
The fourth panel shows Sarah standing in the doorway behind them awkwardly holding the red ball.

Has anyone been able to FOIA the documents that were seized from Mar-a-lago on the argument that Trump claimed he had declassified them all?

Cruelty isn't efficient but there's a persistent belief it should be. The stock market routinely rewards unprofitable cruelty. Ppl believe deeply that evil and ruthlessness pays off even in the face of evidence to the contrary.

#OnThisDay Sept 29 1947: More than 1000 local residents show up at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds in period costume to appear as extras in the production of "The Great Dan Patch," a period film about the famous race horse.
100s of people in early 1900s dress walk under the STATE FAIR arch with a banner reading MINNESOTA'S DAN PATCH DAY as cameras roll.

Stop Using Anti-NUCLEAR Language
Instead of:
"If my parents find out about this, they'll go nuclear."
"This discourse is radioactive."
"The country must avoid letting Al become a Chernobyl moment."
"I'm worried about the fallout from this decision."
Say:
"If my parents find out about this, they'll have a blowout on their offshore oil platform resulting in 4.9 million barrels of oil spilled into the Gulf of Mexico."
"This discourse is leaking up to 9% of its production in the form of methane directly into the atmosphere, leading to the greenhouse effect and contributing to the melting permafrost and the rapid warming of the Arctic."
"The country must avoid letting Al become a Benihu Colliery moment, the worst coal mining disaster in history, in which a gas and coal dust explosion resulted in 1,549 deaths."
"I'm worried about the severe acid rock drainage that might develop from this situation, requiring decades of additional monitoring and treatment and leading to long-term health effects for the nearby population."

Here’s the most incredible story you’ll read today. A small plane with four people aboard crashes in a field. Another pilot witnesses it. That pilot happens to be flying a bunch of skydivers. They offer to jump to assist, are given permission. The skydivers happen to be EMTs. Everyone survives.

Skydivers alert emergency crews, assist after plane crashes near East Troy airport
Four people were aboard the single-engine plane when it went down in a cornfield near Carvers School Road in East Troy at about 1:30 p.m.

Hold up, you're telling me Bitcoin is connected to child sexual exploitation? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History...
Arbitrary blockchain content

Bitcoin's blockchain can be loaded with arbitrary data. In 2018 researchers from RWTH Aachen University and Goethe University identified 1,600 files added to the blockchain, 59 of which included links to unlawful images of child exploitation, politically sensitive content, or privacy violations. "Our analysis shows that certain content, e.g. illegal pornography, can render the mere possession of a blockchain illegal."[295]

Learning about the Pickwick Nite Coach by stumbling across this thing
A two-level bus from the late 1920s that has been modified into a self-propelled railroad vehicle.  The cowling around the radiator has disappered and it has had railroad style numberboards added above the cab.  It is lettered as Sud Pacifico de Mexico number 34.

Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.
