    I doubt many conservatives can draw the line between the problems and Trump

      They can’t understand anything that takes more than 3 seconds to see the outcome of. Trying to explain this or the cuts to healthcare subsidies is like trying to teach a rock to play Beethoven.

          Yes. Nothing says “rock” like a chamber orchestra with timpanis (that apparently require one rock per to operate). Also, who, exactly, is playing the bass here? It’s just being held there by the brass section with … likely AI-generated instruments. Is the bass holder playing a cross between a French horn and a tuba? I don’t even know what’s next to that … a trombone rescued from the aftermath of a fire?

          But really, the issue is how viola-heavy this group is. One violin to two violas is niche as hell.

            Obviously ai generated, but that’s not a bad thing—when it’s just for a laugh.

              It’s still fun to mock! Even more laughs …

                Fine, they’ll stop.

                  The cellist is still in position. Though, seriously, this is about the most hilarious image response I’ve ever seen. Also, viola! they’re gone.

    Wow, is that a gripping cutline under an engaging piece of art for those who’ve never seen the inside of a grocery store. But as billionaires don’t tend to read The Guardian, I’m not sure what it’s clarifying for anyone.

      The caption is for accessibility readers.

        No, that’s alt text. Totally different from a cutline.
