Uh... Is this their plan to force a third term?
AI is just going to try to Jedi Mind Trick everybody? It just didn't happen now?
Google AI Overview says: Donald Trump is not serving a second term in 2025. He was inaugurated as the 47th president on January 20, 2025. His inauguration marked the beginning of his first term, not a second one. Therefore, there are zero days into a second term for Trump.

My grandpunkin into his gaming headset, sitting at the PC:
"Hold on a minute guys. I gotta go do something."

This sweet boy saw his grandma opening the box and offered to jump in so that I wasn't sitting uncomfortably on the floor.❤️

I'm here to say this is my biggest peeve about public restrooms without lids on the toilets.
It paints surfaces and infiltrates electric hand dryers.
#Norovirus stays infectious up to 145°F.
And you're trapped in a damn stall with it the moment you flush. 😷

Screenshot of post by misty.gedlinske He: The toilet seat should be left up for my convenience. She: The toilet seat should be left down so I don’t fall in when I sit. Me: The toilet *lid* should be closed BEFORE you flush, and please wash your hands with soap when you’re done, because norovirus is A Thing You Do Not Want.

Have sardines made a comeback that I don't know about?
Is it because of keto?
My father's militant keto obssession has intersected with giddiness in his childhood memories of Depression-era foods.
Also unexpected and unsettling calender entries.
How is this a thing?
Photo of entire shelf pack of tinned sardines on kitchen countertop next to a stack of tinned kipper snacks. Overlaid by screenshot of a calendar entry that says Sardine Fast Begun. Entry is circled in bright yellow and captioned: WTF

I have been assigned to remind my daughter to refill her #ADHD meds, which I can do because they're not MY meds.
I take my Refill Harassment Campaign very seriously.
Every day, I send progressively more obnoxious memes with literally any pill reference.

❄️Meet Frederick☃️
Small three-part snowman with charcoal buttons, eyes and nose, and a small, crooked stick for a wry smiling mouth. Black flower pot hat. His thin stick arms hold a child's red plastic leaf rake. On either side of him are places flower pots "growing" stick trees with bright orange clementines stuck on the ends.

Lady at pharmacy:
"You wouldn't understand!
I have to take SEVEN PILLS A DAY now!'

Yeah, that seems like a lot.
Sorry it feels like so much work. Glad you have access to things that work for you.❤️

Kids. They grow up so fast.
One minute, they're taking naps in laundry baskets, and the next minute, they're starting a Queen cover band.

Timeline cleanser, if you see this, quote a picture of yourself as a child.
Toddler girl standing by a nose-level snowdrift in front of of a gray sided house with black and white trim and a snowy evergreen tree. Her rosy pink coat is zipped all the way up. She has impossibly round pink cheeks and wispy auburn curls under a loose chrocheted white stocking cap with a pink pom on top and matching mittens. She peers to the distant left, squinting against the bright snow. Circa 1975.

If you see this, post something yellow! 💛💛

Practice adding an image description in alt text!
Gradeschool child standing confidently in full bold yellow and black Bumblebee Transformer costume, looking directly at the camera with left hand on their hip and right arm cannon extended menacingly at the viewer. Pulled up right behind the child is a matching bold yellow and black Chevy Camaro with the wheels turned toward us, driver door open, ready for our hero to jump into action.

Post a picture that you took, to bring some zen to the Skyline.

Alt text always appreciated!
Thick, white blanket of puffy cloud cover hovers over a vivid orange sunset settling over purple foothills and rolling green landscape, sparsely dotted with homes and evergreens. West of Black Forest, Colorado.

His Majesty, majesting
Full-length profile of big, fluffy, wavy long-haired golden retriever lying with rear haunches tucked contentedly under him, head alert to something to the right of the screen, and front paws extended comfortably across the snow in front of him. He's alone in his element on a snow-covered field reflecting a bright sunny day with fluffy clouds across the skyline. There's a row of tall evergreens and a couple leafless trees across the background.

Look at my tiny baby iron! 🤗
W👀KIT AT IT!!!😁🧡
An itty-bitty electric fabric iron sitting about 3" tall on a countertop next to an old manual steam iron about 11" tall. The standard old heat-yellowed iron started out white, with turquoise buttons and steam window, and a bare steel heat plate. The body of the functional miniature iron is bright orange, with a white handle grip and white detailing, and a black curved triangular heat plate. Miniature bright orange electric fabric iron suspended by the handle on two fingers so that we are looking at the front point of the iron as it would lay flat. Where the spray and steam vents would be on a standard steam iron, this tiny iron has a decorative white plate with fake vent holes in the shape of a very smiley face.

When Remi feels Grandma is giving the laundry too much attention
From my seat next to him, we see a very handsome golden retriever stretching as close to the camera as he possibly can, across the sofa console. His outstretched paw pins my arm against the sofa-back to deliver chest scritches, and the expression on his face is terribly needy and forlorn. Very handsome and ginormously furry golden retriever dramatically sprawled belly-up and legs in all directions. He's squished into the bucket seat of a sofa meant for smaller beings, twisting his head around upside-down to give intense indictment side-eye for my failure to attend his scritching needs.

So, what's the weekend outlook?
Back view of a toddler in powder blue onesie pajamas with one pantleg scrunched up, standing completely unbothered, hands to his side, toes to the mint green wall. He is looking out the window with his chin resting on the exactly-chin-height window sill with his whole head hidden on the other side of the closed white horizontal window blinds. The room has dark teal 1990s plush carpet with a huge spiky plant in the foreground and brown wood-burned calligraphy plaques on the wall in the background.

Small, hand-thrown cylindrical stoneware cup with a crazed glossy ivory glaze finish, featuring a friendly-looking, bright-eyed, hand-brushed cobalt glaze cartoon octopus. Cup is sitting next to the touchpad on the keyboard of an open laptop showing a cliff-scape screensaver, cup partially covering a collection of pop culture stickers.

I couldn't find a picture of my grandpuddytat, so here's a picture of a tiny dinosaur preying on a snackity-snack.
White longhair cat crouched in a velvety green, spiky-backed dinosaur costume covering most of her body and head, except for her fuzzy white paws and her poufy face, with gray eyebrows and a pink nose. Her eyes and pupils are wide and intent, as if ready to pounce on a freeze-dried liver treat.
