Bet you didn’t know that brewing and serving tea is a manly art.

Or that we’re getting closer to the time when we’ll be able to print our own body parts. (Yeah, I know this news is frustrating for some of my friends; seems this great day always remains on the horizon.)

DA won’t retry cops for killing a homeless man who was in the process of retreating from them.

Under Armour learns the lesson most companies should have memorized long since. You do NOT dis hunters and gun owners and expect to go on making money off them.

Oh, how times have changed. You can now buy weed — that is, WEED — on the Toronto Stock Exchange. (H/T MJR)

Build your own lamp/electrical outlet/USB charger for fun. Extra points if you can make it a heck of a lot more attractive than the one shown. (Tip o’ hat to MSJ)

Merry Christmas! Really.

One Dem makes one last-ditch effort to stop Trump. (Note the Freudian slip that this newly elected D-WA congressthing is identified as “D-Seattle.” People in rural Washington know all too well the truth in that little goofsie.)

Perhaps not for thee or me, but one family’s thriving in its pretty cob house. Inside a geodesic dome. Within the Arctic Circle. (H/T MtK for this very impressive story)

How can Piers Morgan be such a flaming eejit on guns when he talks so much sense about other subjects? On this particular horror he speaks truth. You damn betcha that was a hate crime, and though I don’t believe in special categories of crime that necessitate guessing at someone’s mindset, there’s no doubt whatsoever of the mindset here.

A call for Obama to free the “godfather of grass.”

Even Vanity Fair, which reflexively accepts that Donald Trump is “the enemy,” knows knows the Dems are in absurd denial about why they’ve suddenly become a gigantic pack of losers.

There will be lots of demonstrations around Trump’s inauguration. None will top this: the DC Cannabis Coalition will give out 4,200 joints, which are to be lit up 4:20 minutes into The Donald’s inaugural address.

Perhaps it’s not much of a loss to the big, wide world, but the Shakers are now down to two members.

Anxiety. It can give your dog gray hair, too.

One of these things is not like the other. A meditation on Sesame Street, shotguns, and the irrationality of the NFA courtesy of L.S. and David Codrea.

Seventeen signs you’re intelligent — even if it doesn’t feel like it. Hm. Twelve of the 17 fit me. Does that mean I’m only slightly above dimwitted?

So much change. A delegation from the stodgy old American Legion has met with Trump in the cause of getting cannabis re-scheduled.

Turns out that, as pot has been legalized, teens have had a harder time getting the stuff. Sure, that’s against all predictions — except predictions by people who grok how markets work.

Teen drug and alcohol use has fallen in general. Of course, that’s according to the Washington Post, so it may be fake news.

It takes seven shots to kill a 73-year-old man suffering dementia. But then, he was armed with a deadly crucifix, so I guess they had to do it.

I sincerely doubt the world is ready for a complicated waterless toilet that has to be professionally serviced every six months. Bill and Melinda Gates disagree.

Thank you, New Yorker, for being realistic enough to recognize the hand of ISIS at Ohio State.

Will it really be “Bye Bye, Obamacare” followed by something much closer to market-based insurance? We can hope. Tom Price is one of only two Trump picks so far that don’t just seem like authoritarian business as usual.

A Friday ramble

A Friday ramble

Happy Friday, everyone. Here, for your perusal are a few nice finds and random thoughts. —– I found the above image via Gab.ai, which is now having an influx of libertarians, anarchists, and pro-gunners following the infamous Twitter purge. —– And here’s a polar bear patting a sled dog. This isn’t the first polar-bear-and-dog buddy image on the ‘Net. But it may be the most lovable. —– Seems everybody’s got a hopeful agenda for Donald Trump, who remains (despite media certainty that he’s Adolf Hitler reborn) quite the blank slate. Some of those hopeful agendas are worth getting behind. But…

Apparently Mr. Comey is just fine with Hillary directing her maid to print out classified emails for her.

Seattle passed a tax on firearm sales, expecting to use the proceeds for studies on “gun violence.” Funny thing happened on the way to all the Big Bux they were expecting, though.

Maine becomes the thirteenth state to withdraw from the federal refugee resettlement program.
