Condolences to Norway on the passing of King Harald. He lived a remarkable life of service, resilience and quiet dignity. Harald spent part of his childhood in America, returning home after WW2 to become a beloved king who helped modernize the monarchy without diminishing its grace. 🇳🇴

If removing Trump's full name from every place it appears would take too long, ..start small! Even a 20% reduction would look.. satisfying. 🤭

Well if they didn’t think we were stupid as fuck before, they sure as hell do now.
An AP News article headline: As Trump orders UFO data released, a question hangs: If aliens exist, what would they think of us?

Underneath the headline is a video screenshot of a weird old lady with a pair of alien eye glasses and a creepy grin, who perfectly captures a visual of what aliens would probably think of us

Big fluffy black and tan husky mix with bright blue eyes that look like cartoon eyes (but are not retouched, I swear). She is smiling as she homes in on a French fry. Same dog, same scene - mouth gaping wide to receive the fry.Now she CHOMP. Gently. No fingers were harmed. Here she’s grabbing two fries and looking very silly but smug about it. She is a very good girl.
