It never occurred to me until today that Cotton Eyed Joe was about anything other than a cowboy with cotton balls in his eye sockets
It’s about a man with soft eyes.

In 1965, Sally Brown saying "How about tens and twenties" in her letter to Santa is equivalent to her saying "How about $100s and $200s" when adjusted for inflation in 2025
@ArtofSpongebob It’s crazy that there was ever a time that the SpongeBob creative crew said “hey that’s a bit too much, let’s make the poses a bit less exaggerated”. Would NEVER happen in the modern era
@Jxbermudez27@SullyPwnz Ah, those must be the giveaways they're gonna give out during the launch party today. What's the thing on top, are those stickers?
Finally, what you've all been waiting for - CNN. Beautiful. They managed to fit a headline, a map, AND the key stats onscreen at all times. Look! There's even a little meter for the % of votes in so far! Tons of white space. 10/10 electoral votes, I love this one.
