I don't know about the satire, but the image is referencing a scene Jack Black is in from the movie Anchorman where he punts the main characters dog off a bridge. The scene in question

Just an fyi, but you responded to your own post instead of user @[email protected] comment.

I tagged them so they should have a reason to check back manually if they see the notification!

Most continental breakfasts I've seen run from 6-9AM and I've always interpreted it as a sneaky tactic hotels use to usher guests quickly out the door given that standard checkout time is usually 11AM.

This excerpt from the linked Wikipedia article for the name abstractly summarizes it nicely.

It reached the rank of the sixth most popular name for girls in the United States in 1912 and maintained that popularity through 1920, but then its popularity dropped quickly afterward.[2]

The name Mildred was very common about a hundred years ago, but never really at any other point since. If you see the name Mildred without seeing the person in question your first thoughts will be that they are extremely old. That's really about it.

Mostly I was stuck between a Red-Tailed and Coopers Hawk, which is also common in this area and you're more likely to see in a city. The talon color and inability to gauge the size(Coopers are smaller) were giving me pause.

It is pretty cool to find it mid-city. I'd expect to see a Coopers Hawk or Peregrine Falcon, but not a Red-Tail. I lived in the Hudson Valley for a long time and they always avoided the cities in favor of the forests.

Neat! Looks like a Red-Tailed Hawk, but I can't tell definitively.

I think a lot of the capitulation you're seeing is just the cascading aftereffects of the ramping up of migrant shipping policies from the southern border states(or just Texas I guess). The scale of that kind of forced some form of reaction outside the norm.

Sorry :( but if you can interchange the right side panels and nothing changes with the messaging it kind of doesn't land well.

Nothing has foundationally changed with the DNC position over this time period. There was no "Chad" period where they actually fought back and have always rolled over for immigration fearmongering.

It's also just not a good meme, which is why I personally downvoted.

Stop it. Executives don't understand sarcasm and you've doomed us all!
