Trump’s new tariff plan: economically punish penguins for their suspicious neutrality.

Penguins reportedly unfazed, continuing to vibe in formalwear.

Well that’s a shock /S

I can’t imagine why the DoE is being dismantled.

He sure loves himself some white uneducated subjects!

parents of autistic kids…
Would you control access to your child’s ear defenders at school if he’d suddenly got a bit “too comfortable” and having meltdowns. School seems to think it’s coincided with him wearing them more, feeling less stressed!
I’m leaning towards no… but I waver!

Not American but wondering…. Is it normal to have pre inauguration day rallies?
I don’t remember seeing any ever. And even if I did, I’ve never cringed this hard.

America’s a strange place. their supreme Court banned Tik-Tok yesterday and a new, convicted felon-president reinstated it a day later...

Interesting.

Just pulled up flight radar to see what flight I could hear going overhead…

Neighbours putting the bins out.

What could possibly be worse for a social media platform than being entirely banned in one of the largest first world countries….

Getting up at 5:30 just so you can mentally prepare for the chaos of kids by sitting on the sofa staring into the abyss for an hour.

I’m just a middle aged millennial standing in front of her vastly younger potential audience asking if *gestures wildly* this is stil an acceptable way to animate a sentence.

When someone I wouldn't even trust to make me a slice of toast says they would love to babysit sometime.

Today’s controversial PSA: migraines are a huge spectrum. Simply being able to use a phone or screen is not indicative of that person over exaggerating a headache. Not all migraines come with eye sensitivity or even pain. (Vestibular migraines for one) Educate yourself instead of berating others.

This is satire right? Right?

My 6 year old governs his town made of legos with more nuance. It can’t be real. Surely?!
January 7, 2025 at 10:01 PM
You ever had to get an autistic 6 year old dressed for school for the school to decide at 8am(!) to close for the snow? And then do your best to explain that actually “whoops, I know you’re super stoked to get back to your routine but no school today kiddo” poor boy.

Pray for me 😨

I loved Obama, and even I got annoyed when he chimed in on Scottish independence, whether I agreed with him or not.
The rage I feel for a man I so vehemently detest offering unsolicited takes on UK politics. It’s like postpartum haemorrhoids, but way less fun.

“Don’t open the door to strangers,” my autistic 6-year-old recites repeatedly.
So, when the Rotary Club arrived dressed as Elves, I not only opened the door and let his younger sister hug them but handed over money too.

This incident marked the 642nd meltdown of the holiday season.
Baileys??

Just cannot get on board with this Arla boycott. Literally every educated avenue I go down leads to the same conclusion… tin foil hats.

What the actual f*ck is wrong with people? Those poor kids too.

Consensus seems to be it’s the ex boyfriend, not feeling that. But my radar is usually miles of 😂

I’m sorry… the Department of Government Efficiency? DOGE… I thought that came from a parody account.
I really should have known better

When your little brother’s piloting a private jet to Palm Springs and your biggest accomplishment of the day is that you remembered to buy dishwasher salt 🤌

Legend! (Both me and him obviously, limescale is a killer)

I have decided that I choose to believe that the legendary Janey godley… chose this time to pass so that this picture would be everywhere the week of the elections. 🙏
You cannot change my mind.

Even if it’s only in Scotland… it counts 😅
