Reader support matters more than ever
We're in the final stretch of our summer campaign. Our goal is to raise $15,000 by August 9 to support the journalism our community relies on. Reader support is helping shape the future of local news.
There is just so much going on in this video, so many memes and obscure references. It is like watching the entirety of the internet being crushed down into a two-and-a-half-minute mineral water ad.

Also, we were terrified to discovered that Powerthirst has become an actual product.
We are not clear if the Lithuanian language videos are more or less confusing than the English language video.
