It’s just really important that you guys all know the little attack-straw action seahorses use to eat is called a snick.
Sooooooo, when they eat, does that mean that they’re taking a snicker-snack?

White supremacist Steve Bannon, now on National Security Council, running Trump’s immigration policy
On Saturday, as thousands of people across the country rose up against his Muslim ban, Donald Trump did something else worthy of mass protest. He put a white nationalist on his National Security Council:
Trump reorganized the National Security Council to, along with other changes, give [Steve] Bannon a regular seat on the principals committee—the meetings of the most senior national security officials, including the secretaries of defense and state.
That memo also states that the director of national intelligence and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff will sit on the principals committee only when the issues to be discussed pertain to their “responsibilities and expertise.” In the previous two administrations, both were included as regular attendees.
If there was any question whether Bannon or ceremonial chief of staff Reince Priebus would exert more influence on Trump, let that be your answer. No, really, let that be your answer, because on that other matter—the Muslim ban—there was Bannon:
Friday night, DHS arrived at the legal interpretation that the executive order restrictions applying to seven countries—Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Syria, Sudan and Yemen—did not apply to people who with lawful permanent residence, generally referred to as green card holders.
The White House overruled that guidance overnight, according to officials familiar with the rollout. That order came from the President’s inner circle, led by Stephen Miller and Steve Bannon. Their decision held that, on a case by case basis, DHS could allow green card holders to enter the US.
Everywhere you looked Saturday, there was Steve Bannon, making this a true Breitbart News regime.

AZ Indian Tribe That Controls 75 Miles of Border Won’t Allow TRUMP WALL on their Land (VIDEO)
Tribal leadership of Tohono O’odham Nation in southern
Arizona said they won’t support a border wall project on their land.
Part of their reservation extends into Mexico and covers 75 miles of the
international border.The tribe’s chairman and vice chair said the plan was always to try
to work with whoever holds the office of the United States President.
But, they added, it’s still too early to tell exactly how Donald Trump’s
administration will impact the tribe.Vice Chairman Verlon Jose explained tribal members have traversed
their ancestral land since time immemorial, and a wall of any sort would
not be supported by the community.“Over my dead body will a wall be built,” Jose said, describing some
community members’ sentiments. “I don’t wish to die but I do wish to
work together with people so we can truly protect the homeland of this
place they call the United States of America. Not only for our people
but for the American people.”
Wow, that’s going to be either incredibly uplifting, or heartrending.

Okay anyone know what that twisty braid coming down on the left is called &/or know how to do it?
It’s macrame, but it looks hella lot sexier on her than it does on those interminable 1970′s plant hangers.
It’s a string of square knots.
Serpent d’Océan – Huang Yong Ping
A gigantic aluminum serpent was completed in 2012 by artist Huang Yong
Ping. It lays along the shore of the Loire River near Nantes, France. It
is nearly 425 feet and mirrors the curves of the Saint Nazaire bridge
nearby.Huang Yong Ping (Chinese: 黄永砯; born 1954) is a French contemporary artist and one of the most famous Chinese Avant-garde artists. Born in Xiamen, he was recognized as the most controversial and provocative artist of the Chinese art scene in the 1980s.[1]
Huang was one of the first artists to consider that art was a strategy.[1] He was a self-taught student educating himself under three well-known men. Joseph Beuys well known German artist and art theorist, John Cage an American music theorist and philosopher, and Marcel Duchamp a French artist that’s associated with Dadaist and Surrealist. He then graduated in 1982 from CAFA in Hangzhoue. In 1986 he formed Xiamen Dada.
Huang Yong Ping has four periods associated with himself, anti-artistic
affectation (fan jiaoshi zhuyi), anti-self-expression (fan ziwo
biaoxian he xingshi zhuyi), anti-art (fan yishu), and anti-history
(fanyishushi). In 1989 at the age of 35 Huang Yong Ping went to Paris
for the Magiciens de la terre
exhibit. He then ended up immigrating to France and living there ever
since. Many of his pieces today are on a large scale, making them not
auction-compatible.Huang Yong Ping represented France at the 1999 Venice Biennale.
ACLU National on Twitter
Lee Gelernt: “The judge, in a nutshell, saw through what the government was doing and gave us what we wanted, which was to block the Trump order and not allow the government to remove anybody who has come and is caught up in the order, nationwide. They cannot remove anybody. Plus, she said they need to give us a list of the names who are being detained, because as you all know, we have not been ale to track everyone down despite diligent efforts. The government must now give us a name. We’re going to go see each of the people, provide counsel, try to get them out of detention, right now. But at minimum, they will not be returned back to danger. The court has set further briefing and will hear this case some time in February, but the key tonight was making sure that no one was put back on a plane and some people were threatened to be put back on a plane as of 9:30 tonight. Hopefully that will be blocked. She told the government to get the word out to their people at airports, “Don’t put people on planes.” So, if you hear of that, you need to let us know immediately, because it would be in defiance of a court order.”
