Since everyone thinks they're "right," I prefer the word "moral" or "just" or "fair." But then again, people will misconstrue these meanings as well...

Watching the SOTH vote, and I think it's simply ridiculous that each party applauds vociferously when their leader votes for himself. What a strange custom...

SOTH race - "the fix is in..."

I love this quote... 👇

I do not subscribe to Time Magazine, and was appalled when Trump was named "Person of the Year." That was, until I actually read the article. Just like when Hitler was named "Man of the Year in 1938, this was not an endorsement. 1/2

“The more I learn, the more I realize how much I don't know” - Eisntein

Sooo eye-opening...

Couldn't be more accurate...

Fox News forced to fact-check Trump...

The power of self-discipline...

Accurate...

Hedonic Adaptation - Our brains naturally adjust to positive situations, making them feel less exciting over time, so we constantly seek new things to feel happy again. It's like a heroin addiction, forever "chasing the dragon..."

Just remember to revise your problem-solving and goal-setting strategies each time...

Happy New Year, Bluesky family! Hope your resolutions and dreams come true in 2025!! 🎆🍾🍻🎶💙🦋

This should have been DonOlds background music when he was flipping out over the cats and dogs in Springfield. "Well, it's a dog eat dog, eat cat too..."

So telling. The lyrics are foreboding...

Gratitude - a commonly overlooked emotion. "Always remember that no matter how bad things are, there is always something to be grateful for..."

Remember, we all have the potential to be our own worst enemy. This article sarcastically highlights scenarios where this is most notable...

Worrying is unproductive and serves no purpose but to give rise to chronic illnesses...

"I think I need to Baker Act this bird..."

Smells a little like desperation and BO...

"When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time..."

So true...

This! 👇

Spot on...

Don't waste your time and energy on toxic people. You need to protect your peace of mind and sanity. Walk away, literally and figuratively... 👣💙

Be careful of "The Bandwagon Effect." This is what occurred in 1930s Germany...

If Trump keeps threatening Canada...

Not as easy as you thought, huh Mr. President-Elect??

In the same vein as The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy. It's a humorous, but sobering look at America in 2040 under the GOP rule... "It's New Year's Eve 2040 in the land of idiocracy."

Wait... So climate change is real???

Food for thought...

This is the rationale behind the anti-woke movement, and the book banning, and Project 2025, and...

"Brain Rot" is a very real thing...

Waiting with bated breath... Not 🙄

Our Founding Fathers are rolling over in their graves...

And the more we know, the less we know...

Yep... 🎶🎸🥁

“The dumbing down of America is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30-second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), 1/2

Love this... 👇

Stop searching externally for the meaning of life, when the answer lies within...

This is so relevant today, with all the gaslighting and denial of reality. It was already difficult at times to differentiate reality from fantasy; now it's utterly impossible...

Trump's supporters are seduced by the pheromones of his flatus. Seems almost like a fetish...

Mass indoctrination...

The choice is simple...

Great analogy...
