America feels like a country on the brink of an authoritarian takeover | Francine Prose This is the news we should be paying attention to. At least for the moment, everything else is a distraction

This is the best one thus far 😂

Be glad there's no ChatGPT wrapped.

I don't even know where to start on this one. It's so batshit cringy sad.
