This is gonna end up being the “TJ Maxx Introduces Meat” joke from the Onion, isn’t it.
dodgeball meme where “the Onion attempting satire” labels the group of kids, “Apollo” labels the thrower, and “gift of prophecy” adorns the ball.

had a rough day, but it brings me comfort to know someone out there is doing things right, i.e. a ludicrous amount of donuts in the intersection
a comically large intersection in which some hero has done the only reasonable thing, a massive amount of donuts, as evidenced by the enormous tangle of skidmarks adorning the pavement

I was going to ask how the previously effective regime of screwworm prevention failed but I feel like the answer is hidden in this sentence.
Miller said ranchers should have no trouble accessing effective drugs like ivermectin, which he said he still personally takes each week.

Fun fact: the only slate to beat “did not vote” in any presidential election in my lifetime was Biden/Harris in 2020.

Oh man you know what would be really hilarious
Still from the “$pringfield” episode of the Simpsons where a deranged Monty Burns instructs Smithers to get into the Spruce Moose model airplane and when Smithers responds “but sir it’s only a model,” Burns brandishes a revolver and repeats “I said hop in” slowly and with evident malice.

It’s like Rooney’s famous shot of Ali, if you watch the video you almost miss it, yet it conveys more about the situation than a strictly visually-representative image could have. Hell of a photo.

I uninstalled Copilot, so the Copilot hotkey on the laptop keyboard is orphaned, and if I try to assign a custom action to it it tells me no other apps on my laptop will work with it, and it directs me to the Microsoft App Store where the only acceptable apps are… copilot or chatgpt. Great, awesome.

Here’s the same picture from another angle:
Far side cartoon with a guy (Roger) standing in an orchestra, holding a giant cymbal, thinking “This time I won’t screw up, I won’t I won’t I won’t I won’t” captioned “Roger screws up.” The implication is that Roger is the House Democratic leadership, and they are him.
