The Good-News link of the day; Wild Beaver returns to Norfolk.
It's been so long since I've seen a beaver it's not funny, and this made me tear up a bit. Especially the bit about "Beaver-Bombing".
I need a beaver bomb.

A new one to me, and rare in that I admired her technique, heavy impasto acrylic on boards, painted flowers, thick, like bad Italian Porcelain designed to catch dust and be dusted.
I know it sounds bad, but actually I'm a bit impressed, and it takes a lot to impress me. Not that I'd own it, but - if ownership were ever a thing again, maybe, just maybe I might...

So this, the recommendation of the people I work for.
Interesting, in that it has a focus on "family values" no longer extent in the west, and that the issues the "hero" - the nondescript everyman who realizes or drives the plot from scenes that he's seen in movies - an expert in all things watched previously on TV in his little "Mirage" cable outlet.

Now I'd probably bookmarked this to watch later, then forgot, then somehow YouTube began showing me videos of MAGAT Idiots ranting about how it was all left-wing propaganda and BS and of course I had to watch it.
It wasn't bad. Leonardo Dicaprio, Sean Penn, Benicio Del Toro, a comedy/suspense drama about a "French 75" resistance fighter that becomes relevant again after 16 years in hiding. And, by relevant I mean it's sending up the current administration, migrant detention, Christian Agenda. So, say 4.5 Bananas...
Although, to be true, the left has demonstrated no-where near the levels of organization required to be the official "Resistance".
But they should start, and soon...
