Always reminded of the Tom Toro (2012) New Yorker cartoon:

> Yes, the planet got destroyed. But for a beautiful moment in time we created a lot of value for shareholders.

I too think of that cartoon regularly. Direct link on The New Yorker website:

https://www.newyorker.com/cartoon/a16995

I recommend you put that one on your list instead because Instagram is very hostile to people trying to see anything without an account. The one on The New Yorker website is open to all and on the Internet Archive.

Thank you for sharing the interview. I hadn’t come across it before. The cartoon is more popular than I realised, which makes me glad.

The Instagram one is entirely a single image so people will find it easier to share via social media.

Not for anyone without an Instagram account, which is most people on social media. But sure, here are several alternatives as single images for you to share on social media. Took me no time at all to take a screenshot and upload to a bunch of websites. Take your pick.

> Not for anyone without an Instagram account

This is a lie - I have never had an instagram account and I was able to hop on there and copy the image.

(it might be of interest to some that the image shared by the artist on Instagram has the text justified how the artist intended and the New Yorker's text caption can look different depending on the device, but I can't pretend that I care too much about that...)

> Take your pick.

Why did you bother? I'm fully capable of googling a famous image and I'm sure everyone else reading this stuff is.

I found it quite truthful, but I also blacklist social media in my host file. I recommend blacklisting social media, it makes the world a better place.

It's not a bad idea.
