I appreciate that Berke Breathed had Reagan's number more or less from the beginning #BloomCounty

Attachments:

• A Bloom County comic. Milo and Binkley watch Bedtime For Bonzo, a film starring Ronald Reagan. The film is interrupted by President Reagan, issuing a strong rebuke to the USSR, saying "Let us hope the Russians know precisely who they are dealing with!" In the last panel, the TV cuts back to the movie, which features Ronald Reagan screaming as an ape holds onto his nose. (remote)

This little marshmallow needs a name. He's dilute orange tabby + white, stubby tail, not the sharpest knife in the drawer. Once he starts purring he doesn't stop, and he has a meow like a tiny zipper.

We have stood up in unity and solidarity to regain our energy independence, cut Russian fossil fuel imports, and support Ukraine.

This was possible thanks to the efforts of EU citizens and companies embracing #REPowerEU.

In one year, we have diversified our supply, scaled up renewables, and saved energy to rapidly move away from Russian fossil fuel imports.

Our job is not done, but we are more resolute and united than ever, and better prepared to face next winter.

"In his book, Vietnam: An Epic Tragedy 1945-1975, Max Hastings explains how meals were cooked by punching holes in a ration tin and using a C4 explosive to heat it. Hastings also writes about the pills that troops consumed daily, including a malaria tablet, salt pills that could be sucked on, as well as Lomotil tablets, taken four times per day to control diarrhea brought on by the Halazone troops used to purify their water."

Let's work together to make Mastodon a success. Here's some simple things you can do to help:

-Pretend that other social media platforms don't exist. If someone mentions Twitter or Facebook, change the subject by looking up to the sky and screeching loudly.

-Make new users feel welcome by messaging them and saying "I would do unspeakable things to benefit you".

-Get the word "Mastodon" tattooed onto your forehead. When asked about your terrible life decision, you can explain what Mastodon is.
