The Noms

My grandparents used to collect matchbooks. Matchbooks used to be everywhere. I got this at a restaurant tonight and immediately thought: "matchbook". But It's toothpicks. We don't prioritize smoking anymore. A little proof that some aspects of humanity have changed for the better.

Precious cinnamon roll. 🥹

From Nov 7:

Don't be afraid to call things by what they are. MAGA is a terrorist organization, ICE is a secret police force conducting Ethnic Cleansing, Elon Musk is an oligarch, and Trump is a foreign backed coup d'état figurehead. This is not an administration, this is a regime, and your country is occupied.

It's no coincidence that they've removed phone options for those most likely to be tech illiterate, and removed the online student loan consolidation/IBR forms to paper only. Gee it's almost like they just want to screw everyone over.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

I know it's not that simple, but every other major country needs to place sanctions on the US and Russia.

Silver lining:

Europe became a Union yesterday.
🇪🇺

Today, in a meeting at the White House, the only person actually defending American interests was Zelenskyy.

Let that sink in.

Seems like the relevance of this Reagan-era Herblock cartoon has risen by 200%. Washington Post, 12/22/1988.

For those who observe: Happy Twin Peaks Day, you beautiful peeps.

who could’ve predicted that confirming a white nationalist, christian extremist, drunk, sexual predator, tv host to lead our country’s armed forces would end in ruin

Rasmus Jarlov in a dark suit and tie sits at a wooden table, hands clasped, with a grand painting in the background.

Denmark MP Rasmus Jarlov: "[US] has taken no casualties in Ukraine ... paid 4% of US defence budget for one year and that was too much for them ... they will surrender to Russia. We can not trust such spineless people ... If Russia invaded Poland tomorrow, they would make excuses and do nothing."

Important watch.

Remember to shop prior to the arrival of a polar vortex. And make sure you get stuff to make cookies. Cookies are THE key to your survival. Trust me, I'm from Wisconsin.

Dear the rest of the world: You should absolutely not see the US as reliable for anything at this point, shit, none of us on the inside think we're reliable for anything right now either, you're definitely not alone

Dear Representatives,
When your constituents tell you their concerns, your job is not to tell us your beliefs. We know your beliefs. Your job is to set aside your beliefs and raise our concerns to those making the decisions. If you can't do that then what good are you?

Watching squirrels together 💜

I, for one, welcome our Canadian overlords. (Also my algorithm thinks I'm Canadian so I keep getting Canadian propaganda. 💜 This for me.)

I'm sorry but Disney really screwed up by not casting Suzy Izzard as Ursula the sea witch in the live action. Poor unfortunate souls!

Remember that episode of Community when Chang took over the college and had a bunch of kids acting as his goon squad... Don't know why I'm suddenly remembering that... 🙅‍♀️
