My 6yo got the Game of Life for his birthday, and it's much more complicated now. In case you were wondering if life was easier in the 90s...

Bookbinders invented the guillotine in 1770.
That’s interesting,
Oh no reason it is just a fascinating invention that revolutionized paper cutting for book production…Oh and revolutionized “other industries.”

Now they want to rename Greenland to be “Red, White and Blue Land” and yes this is the dumbest timeline.

When it snows, humans of all ages like to sit on smooth, flat objects and slide down hills. The point is to gain as much speed as they can, without crashing into other humans who are doing the same thing. Some make little hills on the big sliding hill so that they can fly a little tiny bit. So cute!

Convo with my friend from Hungary tonight who left after Orban’s election.

She said “your head will spin with all the wild stuff they try to pull, new things every day, but don’t take your eyes off the money. It’s all about the money, and what they’re stealing, and for whom.”

Trump just took the food away from over 41 million American families.
Nothing says pro life like starving out children.
What the data says about food stamps in the U.S.
The food stamp program is one of the larger federal social welfare initiatives, and in its current form has been around for nearly six decades.

Folks, I know it’s hard to keep up with all the hubbub about POTUS and his executive orders/legislation.

Here’s a POTUS tracker that streamlines it into one link.

When the world is horrible and I start to lose faith in humanity, I pick a thing humans do around the world and acknowledge the cuteness of it.

Eg: When it's nightime, humans crawl into their already made nests of blankets & pillows, move around to get as comfy as possible to go to sleep. So CUTE!
