A wide-angle, horizontal photograph capturing a vast reflection in a large puddle on a muddy field during sunrise. The sky is filled with rhythmic rows of dark, textured clouds, with a vibrant orange and golden glow visible along the horizon. The still water creates a near-perfect symmetrical mirror image of the dramatic sky and the morning light. The horizon is lined with the dark silhouettes of trees and low buildings. The image features enhanced color contrast, emphasizing the deep, moody tones of the clouds against the fiery light of the dawn.

C'mon Bay Area, we can do even better than this! Lets show those Limeys how its done and blanket the Bay with Elon's emails.

Imagine seeing photos and videos of ugly old men raping underage girls and thinking, "I need to protect those horrible men at all costs."?

Playing the Short Game BUSH ADMINISTRATION NOT HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR LIES LEADING TO IRAQ WAR WE DON'T WANT TO ALIENATE MIDTERM VOTERS. TRUMP AND ASSOCIATES INCITE DEADLY COUP ATTEMPT GARLAND: THE PRUDENT COURSE OF ACTION IS TO BE INSTITUTIONALLY PRUDENT. MCCONNELL BLOCKS VOTE ON OBAMA'S SUPREME COURT NOMINEE, PACKS BENCH WITH RIGHT-WING EXTREMISTS DOING SOMETHING TO FIX THAT WOULD RUFFLE TOO MANY FEATHERS. NONPARTISAN STATE ELECTION OFFICIALS THREATENED, REPLACED BY "BIG LIE"-SPOUTING TRUMPISTS EH, DON'T WANT TO CAUSE A STIR. MEMBERS OF CONGRESS SUPPORT INSURRECTION, REFUSE TO CONFIRM BIDEN'S ELECTION CONSEQUENCES? THAT WOULD MAKE TOO MANY PEOPLE ANGRY. ELECTIONS SABOTAGED, NATION BECOMES ONE-PARTY AUTOCRACY I'M SURE WE'LL VOTE OUR WAY OUT OF THIS SOMEHOW!

A comic from 2022 on the dangers of unaccountability and kicking the can down the road. As recent elections demonstrate, voting is still extremely important.
