He'll be the mayor... OF HELL! (seriously)

And finally: Best Build-A-Bear Ever
I never knew they were this realistic, Andrew Y.
The dog parents of the kitten are so wonderful. I cannot imagine what the bear cub think is going on – it seems to feel like it’s having fun, but, um, they have claws!
I’d go to Hell to meet this mayor.
On my way to work this morning I saw a girl walking her dog (a Shiba Inu, I think), and she stopped short on the sidewalk and turned back because the dog had stopped…I slowed down to see what was happening and realized doggo had stopped to pick up a stick, before marching proudly on. 🐕
OMG, the Hell, MI Mayor for a Day program is hilarious. You get to be mayor for the day (or even an hour) before being impeached at the end of it. (I guess when you run a town called Hell, you have to have a sense of humor.)
“The cost to rule Hell for the day is $100 for both humans and now animals. It includes a mayoral proclamation certificate, a Hell souvenir mug, souvenir shirt and certificate of impeachment. The mayor also will own property in Hell. One square inch.”
Mayor for an hour is $25 (plus $10 or $7, respectively, for shipping if you can’t pick up your souvenirs in person; hour-term mayors only get the mug and certificates).
You don’t even have to live there; Mayor Jinx is in California.

You can elect yourself, or someone else as this makes a great gift for those who have everything! But be forewarned, serve us well or we will impeach you the same day! Actually, what the Hell, we will impeach you anyway.
Our Full-Day Term Mayor of Hell receives horns, T-shirt, mug, badge, wallet card, property ownership in Hell along with dirt from Hell, proclamation certificates for being Mayor and for being impeached, your name all over Hell, and, of course, Mayorial duties! Our mini-term Mayor of Hell for an Hour receives both certificates and the mug.
I am *so* looking forward to links today! I’ve driven past Hell, Michigan many times.
Build-a-bear is really realistic and super-cute. I want more context, however: The Wild Animal Sanctuary has taught me to look for concerning backstories when ordinary people do these photo ops with baby animals.
Yes, it bothers me that the video is from a pets site. Bears should not be pets.
I didn’t notice that. Leaves room to go stick head in sand. Since 2016 I’m just worn out.
I think that’s just the name of the tiktok account, I don’t think anything posted on there is actually theirs, but I couldn’t find the original source of the clip.
Let us hope for the best.
It might be fun for the girl but from the sounds he makes I don’t think that bear cub is enjoying what is being done to him.
A cat from Hell. How is that different from their usual way of being, lol. Monkey and doggies and kitties are so sweet this morning.
Got locks changed yesterday so no more worrying if ex-roomie or anyone else has keys to the house. We put a fancy smancy electronic deadbolt on the front door but need keys for the other doors.
Smart move with the locks. I’m so glad that ordeal is over for you.
Dear lor, I feel for you. I hope that you feel safer and sleep soundly tonight.
Hurrah for Jinx! There’s also a town in Michigan called Climax. (And yes, I’ve been driven to Climax.) They should do something with their, um, unfortunate name like Hell.
I went to college near Intercourse, PA.
They had some landscape paintings of local area in the cafeteria, with the town name on the bottom of the frames, so we had one labeled Intercourse. And Blue Ball.
