There are four elements to the cartoon. The girls The wife The case The husband. If you divide the picture into four, each element ends up in its own quadrant. Whichever way you do it. It's a pretty good cartoon.
There's some good cheese savoury in this world, Mr. Frodo, and it's worth fighting for.

Is this real? Not an AI user so I have no clue how AI talks or writes. Madness though!
Did you see the video where a woman's telling ChatGPT that she's stuck in the belly of a whale? Very funny. youtu.be/HAmdFow3-s0?...
any statement like ‘Gen z have no literacy/cannot write/spell/communicate’ that is not also coupled with ‘their means of learning has been eradicated by tech fascism and government removal of funding’ is not worth listening to or boosting. the kids are living under the regime we allowed

She forgets some of us *were* trans kids who got screwed by a better system than she's trying to force on folks globally. Or maybe she's just too wrapped up in her delusion to realise we exist.
Looking to develop a data visualisation/infographics portfolio in the next few months. Looking for ideas and datasets you might like to see?
What the heck?! - It's been a long time since what you took with your phone was an accurate representation of what you pointed it at - since there has long been automatic colour and contrast grading - and even before that you could always choose your film. But what the heck?!
