After struggling to catch up with the 2,093,296 unread posts between when my broadband connection went down until just now, and with too many mornings wasted through the eclectic mix of posts from a range of fellow Tumblrs (all different kinds of good for different states of mind (at different times of the day?)), I’ve decided enough is enough.

muppetpants:
WASHINGTON—Network news cameras covering Barack Obama’s inauguration ceremony Tuesday captured Hillary Clinton silently moving her lips along with each word of the minute-long presidential oath of office. As she stood watching several yards from Chief Justice John Roberts, the former Democratic presidential candidate could be observed placing her left hand on a leather appointment...

Girl in 37D: Fuck.
Sara: Here we go!
Girl in 37D: Huh?
Sara: Eh, we’ll be fine. I’m sure there’s a river down there where we can do an emergency landing.
Girl in 37D: Um. (grips armrests)

Sara: You mean after the Bird Strike?
Flight Attendant: There’s no—
Sara: Whoa, did you guys feel that?! I think it was the magical thump of a Canadian goose! Woo!
Flight Attendant: Ma’am, I’d appreciate it if you could wait to frighten the other passengers until we’ve landed safely.
