“We can try to climb this mountain,” said Frog. “That should tell us if we are brave.”

Frog went leaping over rocks, and Toad came puffing up behind him.

An eagle that smokes? Really, Greeneville? We had a moose get drunk on fermented apples in a trash bin and it took 3 burly guards to pry his antlers loose but we never gave him shit about it.
Our eagle hatchling accidentally imprinted on intern Gavin, and now sits smoking cigarettes in her nest complaining about management all day.

One of the hardest things to do is bring campaign-level communications to the work of governance, and snowstorms are notoriously one of the biggest litmus tests that less-engaged voters use to judge mayoral administrations. This is an excellent way to communicate.

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.
