Very good cartoon. Idealism versus pragmatic reality. This 👇= best brief essay/OpEd I've seen stating the same thing, perhaps with a bit more substance to back up the message:

"Abandoning Biden could repeat the 1968 mistakes that helped elect Nixon" (me: only this would be much worse*) https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2024/5/12/2239229/-Abandoning-Biden-could-repeat-the-1968-mistakes-that-helped-elect-Nixon

Same energy:

"I'm angry at my knee pain, so I'm going to let cancer spread throughout my body. That'll show my knee!"

"I'm so angry at Biden, I'm going to let Trump destroy democracy, demolish the environment, weaken our allies, and dismantle healthcare. That'll show the Democrats!"

If ever in a small town and you only have two dining choices, choose the Chinese restaurant.

Existential angst as reality —

"... two tortured peoples: ...Israelis and Palestinians... neither side is capable of viewing the other’s tragedy with a shred of understanding — not to mention compassion.

One more shameful phenomenon... Israel is the one country in the world whose elimination is most openly called for.

No idea what sort of birds these are — sorry about the dogs. We heard this cacophony while out walking this evening. I thought they might be Eastern Screech Owls, but now not so sure.

Video shot on the edge of the woods this evening — deep shadows and a bit of darkening sky. No idea what birds are making noise. There are also a couple of dogs barking in the distance.
