What your favorite migratory wood warbler says about you. An oldie. My current favorite is the black-throated blue but it changes daily.

A comic called "what your favorite migratory warbler says about you". Northern waterthrush: No matter how nice your outfit is, your boots are always covered in mud. Yellow warbler: You’re a source of joy and light. Everyone is terrified to cross you. Wilson's warbler: You like anyone who is wearing a tiny hat. Painted redstart: Your personal style is beguiling to your lovers and terrifying to your prey. Cerulean warbler: You got good looks at a Cerulean Warbler one time and you won’t ever let anyone forget it. Orange-crowned warbler: You’re too cool for the rest of us and you know it. Black-throated blue warbler: You’re the helpful friend who always has a clean tissue in your pocket. Black-and-white warbler: You enjoy parties but you often get shy and duck behind furniture. Blackburnian warbler: You like scented candles because they’re a socially acceptable way to set small fires. Mourning warbler: You were a high school goth and you wish you still had those clothes. Blue-winged warbler: All you want to do is talk, loudly and often, about bees. Whatever warbler you're looking at: you are correct.

People spend a lot of time wondering why the left is worse at using independent media to control the national narrative.

A useful exercise is to ask why the left is also worse at selling snake oil and pyramid schemes, because I think the reasons are basically exactly the same.
