I like to post these every December, not only for those who know and love them, but also hoping to catch a few new eyeballs. Here's one of four ...

Pete Hegseth = mass murderer

The criminal in charge of the United States proves every day that he is petty, cruel, demented and absolutely unfit for office. He has done irreparable damage to the country.

He needs to be removed and returned to civilian status so that he can serve sentence for his myriad crimes.

So mote it be.

Mecca was VERY interested in the animated creatures in the Aesop Rock video for "Pay the Man."

They've moved past the constant chasing/hunting each other to occasional sweet, affectionate moments; Mecca gave Minnie a little kiss/lick on her forehead.

DST is why most Americans wake by alarm in darkness. Permanent Standard Time would let us sleep longer and awaken naturally to sunlight, for health!

He won't full-on cuddle, but once I'm still, he'll curl up in a warm hollow of my quiescent body.

The Frenchtown Witches Dance is an ancient New Jersey tradition stretching all the way back to 2019. It's loosely based on the German Wolfshäger Hexenbrut (Wolf Hunter's Coven) dating to the 9th century. This year's was last weekend.

It's Friday.

Permanent Standard Time would let us sleep naturally past dawn. Daylight Saving Time makes us wake by alarm in darkness. Tell lawmakers to ditch DST! 🔗👇
