My old rope hammock was falling apart. So I replaced it with a wider "sheet" hammock so all 3 kids could get in it. I'm pretty sure I liked the rope hammock better. This one may also have longer ropes.

Here's a chipmunk that was hanging out on my rear deck.

Tim Cook decided to kiss Trump's ring and what did it get him?

The fascists always turn on you too.

The extortionists never go away.
Donald Trump posts that he told Tim Cook of Apple he's facing 25% tariffs if he doesn't move iPhone production to the U.S.

RFK Jr. has announced a new 'disease registry' that will track Americans with autism. Reminder that the Nazis came for the disabled first. Making lists is not a red flag, it's a fog horn.

Not the irony I was expecting in my news field.
Headline 1: Patients cut off from cheaper obesity drugs as the F.D.A. halts sales of copycats Headline 2: McDonald's teases the return of snack wraps on social media

Michael Che from 2020
2020 Michael Che said "I’m not even really a Democrat, I just vote, 'Not Republican.' Democrats are like condoms to me. I mean, I’ll use them ‘cause it’s safer, I guess. But it doesn’t feel good."

You can help make trans kids happy and healthy. Or you can help make trans kids miserable and isolated. You cannot make trans kids cis.

I mean...
Anakin: "Can you answer some questions without the usual level of sarcasm?" Obiwan: "If you ask the questions without the usual level of stupid." Anakin: *stares* Two polar bears. Bear1: "Got any plans for today?" Bear2: "Do nothing." Bear1: "You did that yesterday." Bear2: "Didn't finish." From Cyanide and Happiness Orange: "So, new years resolutions. You go first." Green: "I've resolved to stop being judgment of others." Orange: "I've resolved to start using herbal remedies instead of going to the doctor." Green: "I just broke my resolution." Cartoon by Brad Diller has a kid standing on a chair holding an instrument while their parent looks on. Parent: "Certainly a law degree is a worthwhile endeavor, son, but you need something to fall back on. Now practice your banjo."

Actually, Die Hard -- a story about a desperate insurgency against a vastly superior invading force, requiring the near-miraculous marshalling of limited resources -- is a Hanukkah movie. -- Jacob Brogan via Twitter

This is your annual reminder that you can sing Black Sabbath's "War Pigs" to the tube of "Deck the Halls" and vice versa. "Gen'rals gathered in their masses Fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-laaaa Just like witches at black masses Fa-la-la-la-laaaa, la-la-laaa-laaaa"

Wouldn't this be cool?
Star Wars: What if? The Skywalker Empire. Darth Vader without a mask sitting on the Emperor's Throne with Luke, Padme, and Leia behind him. An aspirational idea, not something actually being promoted.
