Happy solstice! *Right now* (0121 PST) the Earth's north pole is as tilted away from the Sun as it gets. Here in the US, that makes today the shortest day of the year (THANK GODS) and the first day of winter. Here's to more sunshine to come 🍻

Donald Trump’s 2024 Christmas Day Message to America ended by referring in all caps to his critics, foreign and domestic, and writing:
“MAY THEY ROT IN
HELL. AGAIN, MERRY CHRISTMAS!”
The man who wrote those words will take (and thus defile) the Oath of Office as President on January 20, 2025.

Um, interesting... when I block a follower account, it removes them from my follower list, but it DOESN'T remove them from my total follower count. Why is that?

Bluesky is winning because both twitter and threads have gone out of their way to make their platforms inhospitable to reputable journalists and news. @kattenbarge.bsky.social reports:

Journalists flock to Bluesky as X becomes increasingly 'toxic'
Journalists are finding more readers and less hate on Bluesky than on the platform they used to know as Twitter.

I really have zero interest in what MAGA thinks or have to say.
There is no middle ground with people who only want to win because it allows them to attack people of minorities.

We were in a minority. 🖖

Today, after just a week in Scorpio, the Sun crosses Ophiuchus, where it will visit for three weeks.
Sooo, if you thought you were Sagittarius (Nov 22 - Dec 21) you’re actually a Scorpio, or more likely an Ophiuchan.
