Very like a whale.

 

Nice. Irrelevantly, that got me thinking of the cloud-gazing in "Hamlet":
Hamlet: Do you see yonder cloud that’s almost in shape of a camel? 
Polonius: By the mass, and ‘tis like a camel, indeed. 
Hamlet: Methinks it is like a weasel. 
Polonius: It is backed like a weasel. 
Hamlet: Or like a whale? 
Polonius: Very like a whale.

Yonder dialogue is almost in the shape of an activist talking to a wokester....

Imagine my shock when I navigate to this story and it's not George Conway breaking thru the clouds.

Everybody knows about this right? First read it in grade school. Still makes me laugh.

Polonius is the very model of a Yes Man.

When I see this, all I can wonder about is who threw that whale up there, and what a big mess it will make when it impacts the ground.

I get it. Hamlet is Biden. Polonius represents the State Department and Joint Chiefs.

I've looked at clouds from both sides now,
From near and far, and still somehow,
It's life's illusions I recall.
I really don't know clouds at all.

And Hamlet, even at his worst, could tell a hawk from a handsaw.

An underground walkway at my employer flooded once after a hurricane. The company news site posted a picture of the flood and a warning that the area would be closed for some time.
A clever coworker photoshopped a shark into the picture and uploaded the new pic into the company site. I don't think anyone in charge of the site ever caught on.
