Two pairs of large, weathered hands hold small piles of fine white granules between thumb and forefinger, sprinkling them downward in symmetrical streams against a warm, dark brown background. The left stream appears as salt, the right as sugar, both indistinguishable in appearance. Centered below the falling granules is white text on a beige overlay: "Be careful who you trust. Salt and sugar look the same." The composition evokes caution through visual similarity and subtle wordplay.

Guess they can't look out the window and see for themselves if it's raining, the utter hacks.

The larva of a lilly pilly leaf beetle, Paropsides calypso. Its purple and green colouring blends perfectly with the leaves of its host plant.

Another version of 'Would you still love me if I were a worm?'

I do see you; in the silence between each breath, in every blink that hides tears, in the shimmer of a wave before it breaks. Beautiful. 😭

Looked up the English translation of the song. Beautiful, however, the lyrics do not refer to the mythology. The artist uses the gorgeous music from the song, and her arms/hands/facial expression to tell the story.

Wait till you see their crazy reasoning. They know it's bs, but he's going to be in prison until early December unless he comes up with $210k. They're wasting taxpayers' money for this bs.

As someone wittier said, 'One person won the Peace Prize, 8.1 billion didn't, but there was only one person who lost the Peace Prize.' 💀

You should have an awards ceremony for all the ca'ats, Gonzo. Hilarious or sweet categories. Everyone gets a special treat, or '2 seconds on hellocobber shelf'.

Goodemorning Gonzobongos! Wel, apparenty tha Nobel Committy doznot giv awardes to ca'ats becawse i didnot git one but its FINE, relly.. .

Orange and white cat, slightly disgruntled. He says, "Good morning Gonzobongos! Well, apparently the Nobel Committee doesn't give awards to cats because I didn't get one, but it's fine, really."

Independent C-SPAN caller to Rep. Mark Alford: "You're taking credit for $50b that you just gave to the hospital industry. That's after you took away $150b. You don't take credit for just giving back a little bit of money after taking away so much. So quit lying. It just makes you look horrible."

The Norwegians do the Peace Prize on behalf of Sweden. He'll probably do both countries, yes.

He's such a little man, I don't think he'll stop with just the committee. He's going to do something nasty to Sweden. The Peace prize committee members will probably have their visa revoked or denied when they apply.

This morning there is one Nobel Peace Prize winner, 8.1 billion or so people who did not win the Nobel Peace Prize, and one Nobel Peace Prize loser.

Lovely.
Delighted that they've, quite brilliantly, picked a Venezuelan and the reason they say they did it too. *chef's kiss*
It's not just a 'fuck you', but a 'fuck you' with a side of fries. And hopefully it's followed by flying ketchup. Imagine the foul mood he's going to be in.

“This is a movement…This is an achievement of a whole society…I am just one person.”

The beautiful humility of Venezuelan pro-democracy leader, Maria Corina Machado, the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize recipient.

I've noticed the opposing team's fans only cheer when the opponents score on us. To win those fans over, I recommend we score on ourselves repeatedly; that will surely make them so happy they'll start supporting us. And I'm sure all our fans will keep cheering for us—who else is there to cheer for?

They really said, "This is what we think of you. Be serious, bro."

Ketchup's gonna be flyin'. Venezuela's Maria Corina Machado won the Nobel Peace Prize! “...for her tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela and for her struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy." Fuck yeah, Nobel committee!
