What's the Cap-Hydra stuff? I could google but i know you guys can give a much better explanation of why people are upset (I don't read the comics).
Xander: I do have Spaghetti-os. Set 'em on top of the dryer and you're a fluff cycle away from lukewarm goodness. Riley: I, uh, had dryer-food for lunch.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Harvey is either having cognitive decline issues, or so much pain that he is showing confusion. I'm writing down everything I can think of that is not as per usual, to bring with us for his yearly check-up next week. As a coincidence, we just gave him the last dose out of his vial of opioid liquid medication last night. Considering we got it in September, I'm planning to have a long talk with the vet about interpreting signs of pain. As in, I suspect I could have been more generous with the meds. And there isn't much to do about age related cognitive decline other than make sure the environment is optimal for the cat, and keep 'em comfortable.

What's the Cap-Hydra stuff?
There's been a big reboot of Captain America, where Steve Rogers has taken back the title (he wasn't, for awhile). Through the course of the first issue, there's an extended flashback of his early days as a member of Hydra, which is really an organization dedicated to helping the downtrodden, no really. And Steve has really been working for Hydra all along, working for their true goals. The issue ends with him throwing a guy out of a plane to protect his secret and saying "Hail Hydra."
People are annoyed.

I just found a performance by JoCo and Leslie Odom Jr. I can die happy now.

Is Hydra actually a bad org?

Thrive to spite them
Yeah Hydra is pretty much Nazis. The movies directly tie them to the Nazis the comics not so much.
Also Captain America was created before the US entered WWII and it was a big deal. The men who created Captain America were Jewish (although I don't think that was public knowledge at the time) so having a new comic book character debut punching Hitler when not all Americans were on board with "Hitler is bad" was a big deal.

Dinner of champions!
Yesterday was the last day of school for Matilda. We made it to Japantown today and now she's at a friend's for an afternoon playdate.
Emmett's done with his Soph year of college and we're barely going to see him next week before he's off to be a camp counselor again (best gig ever he tells me).
