The Happy Thoughts Post
Just got back from voting. I am officially declaring this the Happy Thoughts Post. Please post pictures, links, etc. of a non-political nature that make you laugh or smile. Like…
The San Francisco Zoo will be live-streaming its Red Pandas on the Firefox Facebook page today from 10-11 a.m. Pacific Time.
Or Brigadier Sir Nils Olav, the king penguin at at Edinburgh Zoo who “is an honorary member of the King of Norway’s Guard and gets to inspect the soldiers when they visit the Scottish capital.”
So post your link(s) and share the happy. If anything gets caught in the spam filter, just ping me in a separate comment and I’ll get it freed up.

I find Dar Williams’s cover of the Kinks’ “Better Things” immensely comforting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOy6oIiG4P8

I find these calming videos for pets charming and also quite calming for humans, too.

Vertical cuts down an industrial spool of thread create visual magic.

Couldn’t resist.
Did a Google Images search for “dogs playing with kittens”, switched to the videos it found, and that led me (via a click or two) to “Murkin goes to WAR with the kittens”.

It always makes me so happy. The combo of sincerity and ineptness.

Even orphaned possums need a loving home, and a bromance…….
