They did “The Slash”

It’s not easy to make today’s politics funny, but (1m 30s):

I was working in the lab late one night
when my eyes beheld an eerie sight.
Preventable diseases were on the rise
and suddenly, to my surprise

The budget slash — and our missions were scrapped.
The science slash — turned our research to ash.
They did the slash — they did the monster slash!

Plus good news from Fix the News:

We know it’s already in the headline, but did we mention they used AI to design this thing? Ars Technica
