Reminds me of “Bedtime Story”, ep 132 of Welcome to Night Vale. I definitely recommend listening to the audio, but here’s a transcript if you really wanna read it instead.
Does that mean we get to drive kickass Cadillacs?

Redistriboobtion is now my political affiliation.


Probably, although with a bit of imagination I could see a case where this could be real: they’ve made repairs to the boat and want to test it’s keeping water out and so just put it in the dugout instead of hauling it to a proper body of water. Not sure why they’d have the mast up though, unless I guess the mast step or something with the stays was part of the repair being tested.
Because in this case it’s relevant as they won’t have the organ in question
That’s a crane fly. They have lots of nicknames and folk identities so it’s super common to call them something else. I’ve heard them called “mosquito hawks” (they don’t hunt mosquitoes) but male mosquitoes is a new one to me. You could add it to the Wikipedia page lol
So I’d consider myself a very amateur entomologist so am very open to being wrong here, but that’s not a thing to my knowledge; if anything, the males tend to be smaller. You might be seeing two different species, or are misidentifying another insect for a male mosquito.
Crane flies are significantly larger than mosquitoes and don’t swarm. Swarms near a lake are very typical of midges who look superficially like mosquitoes.
No, the feathery antennae is a way to tell males and females apart, not species. Male mosquitoes have feathery antennae, and so do males of many other fly and even other insect species.
Jokes on you; this near the solstice the sky doesn’t get dark enough for me to see anything anyways
Her little hiccup I think was a joke about the alcohol content of the cough syrup.


So all passengers in any vehicle can’t use their phones? That’ll be wildly unpopular.
True, but we’re at the time of year when there’s way more daylight than night, so it’s a war of attrition with the hot day winning no matter what you do.


Do air fryers take that long to preheat?


Nah, the general public doesn’t have the time or patience to properly research this stuff or consult the experts. They’ll just vote on vibes and we’ll just be trading one kind of bad for another.
Keep representatives, just don’t elect them. Sortition is the best of both worlds; you still get a sample of the population, but with people who take the responsibility seriously and actually have the time to do the research/due diligence.
Zach M Stafford, who does Extra Fabulous also signs some of them Pervis and Deogie (the comic from OP) which are all similar but with slightly different art styles and types of humour. They’re amazingly prolific
