This cartoon depicts a sweaty and distressed Uncle Sam running toward a sign that reads “Iran War Finish Line”. The finish line is a massive sinkhole that is drawn like a faux 3d representation of black hole from which there is no escape.

This cartoon is titled “The Techorcist” and depicts a smiling Pope Leo as a sort of exorcist attending to an AI robot strapped to a bed. Pope Leo looks unconcerned as he turns to the door where Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Sam Altman, and Jensen Huang watch. The pope says, “Listen up tech bros: Humanity is god’s ultimate algorithm.”
