Just reviewed my previous posts.

Sigh.

Yes, context is everything but I need an optimistic reset.

So I can never leave my house again, my vote doesn’t count, I cannot make decisions for myself, my way of life is invalid, my area of study is cancelled, the earth is on fire, the economy is about to collapse and everything I thought to be true my entire life is now false. Am I missing anything?

Needed this after my morning dose of “news.” Thank you!

This cannot be real. With everything that is going on, there is a pivot to selling fragrances? Pls tell me this isn’t real.

The world saddens me.

There’s a phase? Uh oh …

As “Taco Taco Man” plays in an endless loop in my head thanks to a friend sending me a link that I shouldn’t have followed, I now have this image - albeit slightly altered in my rendering - as an accompaniment.

Is there any good news?

I do not like rollercoasters.

Ty …

I’m not ready for Black Monday 2025.

If what we are going through is a simulation, it’s a pretty crappy one.

Is this a belated April Fool’s joke?

I was quite surprised to be included …

Does anyone know when we are officially over the edge or are we there already but don’t even know it?

The echo of history is on repeat in my thoughts - No one believed it could happen.

Superb - giggles all around for this one!

Anyone reach out to The Onion?

Thoughts running through my head are ranging from “we’re all going to die” and “we’re off to see the Wizard, the wonderful Wizard of Oz!”

Yeah, you could smoke anywhere! Haven’t seen the option recently in my travels so this one caught me by surprise.

Just curious - how many of you have encountered smoking sections in restaurants? I am trying some place new to me and was surprised by the smoking option.

Please add me!

It’s bleak so I am losing myself in my collections and recollections. There is nothing like a little antique advertising to bring me joy. So I am moving on from pre-prohibition breweriana to the Tab era. Any folks out there find zen with this stuff?

Exactly. Can we get some clarification here?

Sharing is good!

I cannot get “Shiny Happy People” out of my head.
