Yes, it’s a distraction. From the things the White House doesn’t want in the spotlight: Epstein files, tariffs, affordability, voting rights, health care, Gaza, Ukraine, and the US completely failing as a productive, cooperative member of the world.
Trump: "A lot of what's going on with respect to Minneapolis -- with all the hoopla -- is so people don't talk about the fraud. It's a distraction."

It’s apparently hat month over here.
1) Callisto hat, this month’s hat from Kelbourne’s Year of DK Hats.
2) Poop on Fascists. Yarn is Berroco Lanas Light.
3) Melt the ICE hat, knit in some deep stash sport weight Classic Elite. I think I need to make the next few deeper.

Knitters! You can make a pin version of the Melt the ICE Hat in a fraction of the time. Use Fingering weight, size US4 needles and CO 36. Rib for about 1 1/2”, then place markers every 9. Continue as pattern specifies, but move decreases 1 stitch closer to markers.

This week’s #ShowMeYourKnits is #GarterStitch.
I’m not a huge fan of garter stitch, but a comment from another user reminded me that Emotional Support Chickens count. I made a whole flock of them (and Junior ones) for Christmas presents. ESCs made from chunky yarn fit in pet carriers.

This is true. If by “training” you mean handing guns to brainwashed undisciplined bigots with big egos, too much testosterone, and no self-control.

I'm utterly disgusted by the actions of ICE in Minnesota today, and I sit here thinking about what I can do, using my limited skills, to help. I'm not an attorney; I do not have political experience; I'm not wealthy.
But what I can do is #knit.

Melt the ICE Hat pattern by YarnCultMN
In the 1940’s, Norwegians made and wore red pointed hats with a tassel as a form of visual protest against Nazi occupation of their country. Within two years, the Nazis made these protest hats illegal...

Tonight’s #laserdisc Hatari! (1962)
Awful. Just awful. It starts fairly seriously, following a team catching animals for zoos. It becomes near slapstick at the end. 140+ minutes that could have been cut to 90.
Best part: it’s the origin of Baby Elephant Walk by Mancini.

This week’s #ShowMeYourKnits is mitts.
These were a Christmas gift for Husband last month. Innkeeper’s Mitts knit in @leadingmenfiberart.bsky.social Polwarth in colorway Concrete Jungle.
I modified by using 2x2 rib to flow into body pattern better.

Tues.: The Boys From Brazil (1978)

Yes, that’s a Nazi flag in the photo on the cover of Boys from Brazil. It’s about a plot to clone Hitler.

The tile armor seems dangerous to me (shards cause as much damage as ammo), but some of the other suggestions are worth a second look.

My tension for stranded colorwork worked flat is complete garbage, so the sheep square was worked with duplicate stitch. My night sweats/hot flashes mean this will be barely used.

Laser disc night! Dames (1934)
Um, yeah. Thin plot, and yet another musical that expects audiences to believe that complicated set numbers were somehow performed on stage (as part of the plot).
But, all in all, not a terrible way to spend 93 minutes.

The laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status.
