Released in 1975, Rikki-Tikki-Tavi was an animated television special directed by legendary animator Chuck Jones and based on the classic story by Rudyard Kipling.
The story follows a brave mongoose who takes on two deadly cobras to protect the family that rescued him. For a generation of kids, it was one of those rare animated films that felt genuinely intense. The stakes were real, the villains were terrifying, and you couldn't help but root for Rikki-Tikki every step of the way.
More than 50 years later, it's still remembered as one of the finest animated adaptations ever put on television.
Did you watch Rikki-Tikki-Tavi growing up?
Hoping I can get to a lacrosse game when we get home for a visit. Lacrosse was such a big part of my life from as long as I can remember. Every player I played with, every player I coached always feel like family. Hope we can catch the Arrows game on the 14th
I love reading nialls journey & fantastic work but it also breaks my heart when I read about one of those fur babies cross over the rainbow bridge. As I sit here and wipe tears from my eyes, I think how lucky they are to have ppl love them in their darkest time. We all need that
It's peak baby opossum season, which runs February through September. If you see a dead opossum on the road, her babies may be alive in her pouch or somewhere nearby. Pull over if it's safe, listen for soft sneeze-like sounds (that's the joeys calling for her), and contact a wildlife rehabber. Don't try to rescue them yourself, but do make the call.
"Hurt" is not an original by Johnny Cash. The song was written by Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails) in 1994 for the album The Downward Spiral. Rick Rubin had to insist several times on Cash recording his version, at first Johnny found the idea completely insane because the original version is industrial and noisy. At 71, already very ill, almost blind and with trembling hands, Cash completely transformed the band.
The iconic video, directed by Mark Romanek, was filmed at the House of Cash (his own museum). June Carter Cash appears looking at him fondly, the video was shot in February 2003, a few months before she died (May) and Johnny himself (September).
Trent Reznor was so moved that he declared, "This song is not mine anymore." It is considered one of the best covers of all time.
What kind of government brings back cyanide bombs onto public land after years of documented deaths and outrage?
The devices are called M-44s. They’re baited with scented lures designed to attract coyotes and other animals. But they don’t know the difference between wildlife, pets, or children.
One tug releases sodium cyanide into the victim’s face. Moisture turns it into deadly hydrogen cyanide gas. The result is often convulsions, paralysis, and a horrifying death.
These are the same devices that killed a 14-year-old Idaho boy’s dog in front of him in 2017 and sent him to the hospital.
The Biden administration banned them from Bureau of Land Management lands in 2023. But in 2026, Trump’s agencies quietly reversed course, reopening roughly 245 million acres of public land to their use. Then House Republicans pushed language to fully restore the program through the USDA.
Wildlife Services’ own records show thousands of animals killed with M-44s in a single year, including accidental deaths of protected species and non-target animals. Family dogs, wolves, grizzlies, even condors have been caught in these traps.
This isn’t conservation. It’s poison hidden across public lands for the benefit of livestock interests.
Americans should not have to worry about cyanide devices near hiking trails, campsites, or places where children and pets roam.
They brought them back quietly because they knew the public would be horrified.
Tool’s first ever live performance way back in 1991. Rumour has it Red Hot Chili Peppers and Rage Against The Machine members were at the show.
History!
Happy Mother's Day to my mom. She's been gone for more than half my life, 32 years have gone without her. I still think of her daily. All my adult life, I think would she be happy/proud of how I turned out? I wish I could share my world with her. I love you mom
1st day on the range. Some work needs to be done. Short game & putting was decent, long game is a long way from where it was a few months ago. You'd think working at a golf course my game would be spot on! But then I would need to practice and play
There’s times when I think, damn we lucky, we just head over to the theme parks anytime as long as we aren’t working. Last 2 days have been busy with family. Hope they take home some good memories - they’ll be back in October. They got to see all the fun on may 4th& epic
Big day for Rocky. All his updated test results are in.
A little longer watch but shows you just how many other dogs are being helped.
Not straightforward but you'll be smiling by the end I promise ❤️

Sometimes when I'm going to sleep at night, I like to focus really hard and think about what my life used to be like as an alcoholic. I think it's really important not just to visualize what you want in the future, but also to remember where you've come from in the past.
That photo is my table that I used to work at every night. I say "work," but Id just have two bottles of wine, four Valiums, and smoke 40 cigarettes while watching YouTube videos and often crying to myself. I was utterly miserable, suffering from depression, anxiety, and just chasing the next drink. People often think being an alcoholic is glamorous and partying and living the high life, but in reality, this is a scene that many people will know very well.
The reason I like to remember those days is because I appreciate what I have now. My life is surrounded by dogs, and while the days might be really tough and long and challenging, nothing will ever be as lonely or as sad or as challenging as those days alone at the desk.
I share this post not looking for comments or praise for being sober, but rather to show people out there who are currently suffering themselves. I know there's thousands of people who are having a sneaky glass of wine or even a bottle. I know there are people with Valium and Xanax in their pocket, popping one on a constant basis for anxiety. Every home, every workplace, every friend group, every sports team is packed full of people suffering from all sorts of things that we would never even know.
You might not get better today, or tomorrow, or even this year. It took me 25 years and probably a thousand attempts to get over my own battles. To be honest, I still struggle with anxiety and depression at times today. But please don't give up. Please remember that you're not alone, and please keep fighting for your own future because better days are out there.
If you are unlucky enough to have somebody who suffers in your friend group or family, stick with them, encourage them. I know it's tough, but one day they'll get there.
Big love to you all. Happy just to be alive here ❤️
Another 10k in the books. I’ll be honest, I am having feet issues, this race was truly a struggle. My beautiful wife kept us going - encouraging me to keep running when I was ready to walk it in… she’s the MVP of the team.
Look at those eyes. It’s hard to believe this is the same dog we found shaking on the street a few months ago.
Dolly was dumped because she was old and “unwanted,” but today, she is the most wanted girl in the world. She’s officially adopted and will be heading to her home soon
@Mike_kim714@SydneeMichaels@Titleist Thank you for setting the bar for others to follow. For us less talented players, we get to see behind the curtain on what it takes to improve. I appreciate your posts
