And this is at least somewhat useful, since you can make custom maps with data you need! Here’s a map with goats per 100,000 people, sourced from a USDA data set and census population numbers.

Without AI you’d need to learn a GIS tool to do this, which would be out of reach of many people.

The plane lav uses outside air as a vacuum source. There’s a small secondary electric pump so it still works on the ground, but sometimes it breaks.

A government by the trolls, of the trolls, and for the trolls.
Here’s the U.S. government being officially religious in a country with no official religion.

This is Jennifer Ellis. By now you've all heard what happened last night to my poor husband thanks to the actions of reckless vigilante John McClain.

Harry was a complex man but he loved with his whole heart. He was a wonderful partner and doting father to our three boys. Goodbye, my love. Goodbye.

UPDATE: We may see the first time English is displaced as the most popular language among Bluesky posters as soon as Americans head to sleep tonight.

Japanese users were close to achieving that feat at 7 am Eastern Time, and their activity is increasing at an exponential pace. This is remarkable.

Merry Christmas! Please enjoy the opening to this Japanese Christmas concert special that I watch every year.

As far as I can tell, this has otherwise been scrubbed from the internet

I think universal health care would be great. I also think our system of government is so monumentally dysfunctional, and private actors are so sophisticated at maximizing profits, that it will never happen.

I don't know who need to hear this but if an entire holiday party is kidnapped by terrorists it is actually quite dispiriting to hear you up there yelling yippy kai yay and having the time of your life.

They have guns, they’re going to kill us, but sure yuck it up all you want John McLAME

I hope everyone has a cozy night with their loved ones this evening. I won’t, though, because I have to head up to Nakatomi Plaza thanks to my flippin’ boss scheduling the holiday office party ON CHRISTMAS EVE WTF (🧵)

Christmas is associated with a figure with a long white beard, surrounded by many elves - a clear Christianization of Gandalf.
