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.

Panel 1. Cepper, a Gothic sorceress, walks toward the "Faculty of Fire Magic" (the label is framed on the door). Beyond the door, we see scholars writing grimoires with AI parrots nearby. Signs on the faculty wall read: "Fireballs must be kept at a safe academic distance." and "The Faculty is NOT responsible for burnt eyebrows."  
> Cepper: "The Ring of Fire spell... I need it."  
> Cepper: "So let's ask someone who knows it, the good old human way."Panel 2. Cepper is now inside the faculty. She adopts a friendly pose and politely approaches a sorceress scholar halfing fox, red hair, she looks visibly bored or emotionally exhausted. Her AI Parrot writes in a grimoire for her; she barely glances at it.  
> Cepper: "Hey, would you happen to know how to cast a Ring of Fire spell? "  Panel 3. The scholar doesn't bother responding herself: she simply asks her AI Parrot. 
> Scholar: "Avian Intelligence, tell me how to cast a Ring of Fire spell."  
> AI Parrot: "Absolutely! PyroCircus."  
* Inserted panel, she repeats the Parrot's words word-for-word while Cepper barely contains her frustration in the background.  
> Scholar: "Absolutely. PyroCircus."Panel 4. Cepper, is intrigued but asks seriously while the scholar maintains her dead-inside expression.  
> Cepper: "Wait, you're simply just an AI meat proxy now, aren't you?"  
> Scholar: "Avian Intelligence, tell me how to reply to that."

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue is calmly sitting on his computer when he is startled by noises that sound somewhere between coughing and choking. Alarmed, he rushes to investigate.
Blue: Green? Are you okay?

Blue finds Green on his back on the floor, evidently shaken up but otherwise unharmed.
Green: I somehow swallowed spittle wrong.

Meet the tiny tank of the tide pools: the armored sea cucumber! 🧡 They may only grow to 3 inches, but they’re covered in overlapping plates like a miniature armored tank. They stay put, using 10 retractable bright red or orange tentacles that are covered in sticky mucus to capture passing food.

Glad to see a review of that new 'Silent Hill' Townfall game that matches my own feelings after trying to watch a Let's Play video. This game is impersonal and dull, never leading you to care one bit about any of its characters or the town. www.pcmag.com/news/silent-...

I'd like anyone to read today's news headlines and defend the thesis that the POTUS is merely the executive branch of a clear separation of powers and not the autocratic head of some tinpot dictatorial regime. For all intents and purposes the US Congress is the same as Russia's Duma.

Can't say strongly enough how much I hate how everyone responds to someone struggling with suicidal thoughts. "Just call this number" "Talk to a therapist" "Talk to me while I pretend to listen" Take the case of someone feeling worthless because they're being bullied and harassed, for example.

Treating a crisis as unconnected to other crises doesn't make sense if the underlying conditions didn't fundamentally change. Ergo you can also directly connect both world wars and many regional conflicts (e.g. ME) as a direct continuation. 'Fresh' conflicts/crises are easy to predict this way.
