Dumb Sh*t Nominee ·

Your Shera outrage is a little extra.

Alright, listen—listen—LISTEN. We got a nominee. We got a strong nominee. I'm looking at this feed, right? "National Zoo lion Shera euthanasia" is trending. And my first thought, my IMMEDIATE thought, is "euthanasia" is a big word, right? A serious word. And then I see "National Zoo." C'mon, boss. Don't do that.

We're talking about a lion, right? A *lion*. And the *National Zoo*. And people are making this into some kind of… I don't know… *event*? Like it's some kind of public spectacle? It's a zoo animal, people. It's a sad thing, sure, but it's not a global crisis. It's not a breaking news alert. It's a lion. At a zoo. That lived its life. This isn't a surprise party gone wrong. This isn't a "Kris Jenner Ozempic experience." This is… life. And honestly, for it to be trending like this? That’s crazy… but it’s also you. Tommy, you see what I'm saying though?
