(Note for new subscribers: On Monday, I recap some of the positive stories/funny memes I’ve come across in the last week. Feel free to add your own in the comments!)
We’ve made it to another Monday, Screamers! Hope that your holiday season isn’t too busy for a round of pawsitivity! Today we start with the cold open for this week’s “Saturday Night Live”. I don’t want to spoil anything if you haven’t seen it — but I will say it’s a spoof of the hearing I wrote about this weekend:
What the heck is the most unfunny skit in SNL history — which is really saying something — doing leading off this week’s pawsitivity post? It’s a near-perfect example of the point I made in this post about the need of collectivists to run EVERYTHING through a political filter. The end result is that they’re completely unable to actually convey humor — which to a large extent is dancing across the line from ‘acceptable’ conversation into the risky or forbidden. There was certainly plenty of material to work with from that hearing, but the politics of the show prevented a creation of THAT skit — instead those politics demanded what we eventually got.
It’s hard to see this as anything but the continued acceleration of the demise of the wokescolds.
Also this weekend, “60 Minutes” dropped an interview with (unvaxxed) tennis stud Novak Djokovic. When the topic of vaccinations came up, Djokovic sounded like every sane person in 2019:
Djokovic skipped tournaments instead of relenting to the pressure — and now he’s back to winning them. (Making Bill Gates very very sad:)
Oh no! I just found out……
I guess we have no choice but to bomb!
As we ready another round of cash for Ukraine, it’s important to remember the wisdom shared by Ron Paul:
When you ask if she’s ready to get out of bed, but she really really isn’t:
“……….I guess I’ll stay in bed too.”
Little-known fact: The world’s best cat toy is another cat. (Best without sound)
It’s that time of year again………
I love the kitty at 0:12.
“Challenge accepted.”
Dogs are getting into the spirit of the season as well!
Of course, not everybody has time to goof around this winter:
Finally, we have a new video of Bonnie! She’s been coming into my room to drink from the fountain — which I showed last week — and yesterday she found the cat toys!
That’s all for me — what made you happy this week?

SC - Excellent work, and it doesnt get any better than Bonnie & Gangster vids.
I got to get out in the woods for an overnight campout in fresh snow. Sunday morning I enjoyed bacon, eggs, and coffee cooked over a campfire. Simple pleasures...
