Here are some of my favorites for your viewing and sharing pleasure.

This one from The Daily Show is hard not to keep watching it on repeat.


Someone posted this live shot of Kevin McCarthy getting into his Speaker’s chair:

Elie Mystal got in on the act too.

This one felt like a personal attack.

A widely shared meme—right as we were still the throes of something like the third or fourth round of this fiasco—but in case you missed it:

...and a few others.

And it’s begun.

This one still applies, even after McCarthy assumed the role after 15 rounds.

Points for hitting both recent GOP failures in leadership and morality at once, from Maryland Democratic Representative Jamie Raskin.

Jesse Watters' Fox News Cohosts Call Out His 'Creepy' Rant About 'High-Value Man' Stephen Miller

There are a few vital truths to every office-based job. First, there are going to be "busy work" moments, from meetings to admin tasks to minor side-quest-style projects that add to the company in some small way but otherwise feel like a waste of time.

Second, as human beings, we all need breaks to restore our mental focus, so a person who occasionally scrolls through their personal email, sends a few texts to a friend, or even scrolls Instagram for a few minutes, will likely be more productive than those who attempt to lock in and do nothing but their job throughout their entire shift.
