Really? A Wallaby? Seriously?
Okay, I need a moment. Apparently, our collective societal priorities are now at an all-time low. Colorado sheriff’s deputies – taxpayer funded sheriffs deputies! – were dispatched to investigate…a kangaroo. A KANGAROO. The mental image of them scrambling through backyards with nets and tranquilizer guns is frankly more entertaining than anything I’ve seen on television lately.
And the kicker? It wasn’t a kangaroo. It was a wallaby. Like, close enough to cause confusion, but definitively not the marsupial we all conjured up in our minds. A wallaby with an Instagram account, no less! Because of course it does. Apparently, this little critter is now famous. Famous for existing and looking vaguely like something from Australia.
Honestly, I’m picturing a world where endangered snow leopards are ignored because someone spotted a fluffy bunny rabbit hopping down Main Street and that becomes the emergency. This entire situation just perfectly encapsulates the absurdity of modern life. Were chasing shadows, distracted by fleeting internet sensations, while actual problems fester. A wallaby with followers? Please. I need a very strong beverage.
