🇺🇸 The Good Nonsense Thread #2

We made it to Friday and it was a lot.

Wow, hi. How is everyone?

The inauguration of a new president always has Americans feeling a range of emotions, but I think that’s especially true this year. The wise, kind words of Lore Wilbert and Deidra Riggs were some of the first I read on Wednesday morning, and I appreciated the grace and space they offered.

Politics aside, the inauguration certainly delivered a cornucopia of good nonsense for us to enjoy! Don’t forget to add your favorites in the comments.

Twitter highlights (pre-Wednesday):

2020: I’m the weirdest year ever! 2021: Can I interest you in three presidents by the end of January

This tender truth…

For the last few months, my two-year-old has wanted to be the one who prays before every family meal and he says the same prayer every time: “Oh God. Amen.” I used to think it was hilarious, but lately my increasingly desperate prayers have been shockingly similar.

This lightening strike of nostalgia…

I cannot be expected to give adequate commentary on Lady Gaga’s outfit this rapidly.

Let’s give it up for the unsung hero who kept cleaning the podium! Nobody getting the Coronas on his watch!

The FASHION…

THE BERNIE MEMES!

It’s the mittens atop the crossed legs for me. The body language of the unbothered. 😂

And finally, allow me to point you toward one of the great harvesters of internet bounty, the Daily Dose of Internet YouTube channel. I really love this one with a good dog sliding down a hill.

That’s all from me! What was your favorite part of the internet this week?
