My enshittified morning highlight


It is a known fact that Jack was once a ladies’ man who wandered the streets of Colorado and Oregon and went by the name ‘Blaze.’ He’s snipped reformed now, and we’ll never know how many kids he has. But this Ding Dong gets happy Father’s Day wishes, too.

(NB: Goals like this — utopian or otherwise — should not be mistaken for those quintessential banners.)
