I just can't get over the fact that Queen victoria was so short that this woman is on her knees and can still reach the collar of Vicki's mourning dress.

I was on a threads post where it was pointed out that the Morton's Salt logo has had no updates since 1968. Of course, there's no real need to (if it ain't broke, don't fix it), but I Imagined a 21st century update. She'd at least be given pants.

Collage showing the Morton's salt girl illustrations from 1914, 1921, 1933, 1941, 1956 and 1968.

This collage of the Morton's Salt girl shows a pretty good 20th century progression of little girls' fashion as well as popular art styles.

Please remember, everything he's doing -- tearing down the WH wing, pardoning and commuting the worst of the worst, shutting down government, posting that stupid AI vid -- is to enrage us. We can always rebuild the WH and reinstate departments. Keep grey rocking until his end.

Cartoon depicting a wooden spoon with the word "loser" written on it, a Razzie Award and the Nobel Prize with Alfred Nobel saying "Thanks, idiots"

Cartoon depicting a wooden spoon with the word "loser" written on it, a Razzie Award and the Nobel Prize with Alfred Nobel saying "Thanks, idiots"

I don't even remember the previous story that inspired this cartoon, but Trump is trying again for the Nobel Peace Prize, so it's well aged. From 2018.

A pair of cartoonists laugh about loving a Trump presidency due to having material to draw during the administration.  Later, they are in prison for "conspiracy to assasinate" and "Tax Fraud".

Why would a Quebecois cartoonist contribute to MAGA propaganda?

The only other city where I rode one was NYC, but riding over skyscrappers and street steam cannot be compared to as gaslight streets, palmetto trees and pastel-colored colonial-era townhomes.
