This one’s heavy on cute animal memes that should be nice unicorn chasers for our current omicron state of mind:
- This momma ferret seems pretty sure her human is one of her babies.
- I’ve always been fascinated by meteorites, and so I’m looking forward to watching this documentary on them by my favorite wackadoodle director, Werner Herzog.
- Get yourself psyched up for those looming midterm elections with this charming How-to on voting by Demi Adejuyigbe (comedian and writer on The Good Place).
- Awesome op-doc on a 96-year-old Holocaust survivor who started a late-life gig as a heavy metal singer.
- Um, I don’t even know how to blurb this short video: just watch it.
- See, turns out everything those baseball players were yelling on the field was much cleaner than you thought (MLB: A Bad Lip Reading)
- This excellent, understated short documentary on the cultural significance of heavy metal on the Navajo/Diné reservation has a companion piece in High Country News.
- In my experience, Heidi Swanson is not wrong about sauces: “7 Magic Sauces You Should Know About” (101 Cookbooks).
- I sincerely hope the Redwood City Parks employee who designed this Coyote Warning Sign got a sizable Christmas bonus.
- My mom’s cousin’s mom collected glass apples (they were apple farmers); I have a vivid image of the collection glittering in all colors on a high windowsill but am pretty sure it’s a fabricated memory based on stories I was told when I was little. At any rate, that’s the first thing I thought of when I saw this cool article on ghost apples.
