I read the whole thing, and I just re-posted your incredible War and Democide as an epilogue on my most recent article.

Merry mememas mate.

(I am the meme of Leo giving two middle fingers to the government).

Great meme-retrospective - oh my the things we've seen!

I love the Leaving 2019, entering 2024. Sums it up pretty good.

'Youtwitface' is a keeper.

It's good to laugh at our absurd world, ain't it? Cry from time to time, and take moments of appreciation, which I extend to you and your contributions, Tonika. Very very best wishes for you and yours in 2024. 💕

My assumption is that we are all "loving people" but the tyrants have filled our world with hate so much for the past four years that many of us show only a bitter side to social media.

Tonika! Holy moly that must have taken you ages to put together! Thx for the laughs. God, I love memes. Were they there before 2020? I don't remember them. They were the best thing about that ridiculous year. I seriously couldn't pick a favorite but the actual Nazi guy's laugh killed me! 😂😂 So many gems. Thx for putting them all together! Happy (fake Gregorian) New Year! I'll be in bed by 8:00. :) XO

Excellent, thanks so much. I just got ALL of my news, current events and social media for 2023 in one big hit 😂. Please do this every year and I will be able to stay off the internet permanently apart from this one post, yay!

OMG, the French "Chat gpt" one absolutely slayed me. 🤣 Thank you for collating all of these validations of human sanity... you've done a great service, Tonika. But then again, that's just what you do.

Proud to be your friend.

Bring it on, 2024!!

Did it in one go - but not until 2024 - do I get a prize? Thanks for the effort, that's a lot of work. To mis-quote Celia Farber - from her dad I believe - 'fighting evil is so much fun'.

I know it I know it--that wuz his "signature" tune--still git all scenty-mental seein' it--always a talent. I wunder (since Bob wuz a Leslie an' wuz a Brit) if he got roped in fer "patriotic" reasons or if he knew it wuz evil from the git-go. If ya look'it Eyes Wide Shut he's the masked feller with the swoopy ski nose... he lived ta over 100 too--they reward the ol' farts fer their evil (sadly). But fer me--I gotta supper-ate the men from their ahrts / dart ahrts y'know. Look' it Cat & Canary fer a truly young Bob. Anywhoo.... yup, I think they wanted it that way if it ever leaked out that indeedy, we "cain't have anythin' nice"-- but the movies remain at least!

Thanks fer the toast Tonika! (buttered on both sides!) An' fer the collaboratin', an' lotsa love back at'cha an' yer own young whipper snappers! Mebbe we kin do something funny 2gether in the new yahr? cheers!

(Of course yes, BOB of all "pee-pull" ta "trigger" them memories ('er meme-eries) bein' an mkultra handler an' all but my he wuz talented so I'm jus' sharin' the song cuz it's a classic an' I'll leave it ta Stanley Kubrick ta shine a lurid light on old' ski nose thar)

Happy HAPPY New Year with a toast ta yer many talents shared far an' widely over the past year!

(with extree grattytude fer bringin' the "entity known as Joe" to life!)

Bravo! That was so much fun, and meaningful. It brought the laughter of nodding acknowledgment. The laughter of wise recognition. The laughter of painful irony. And a couple just gut busting humor. Thanks for a fun ride this evening. 🚗🌈❤️
