One of the things that changed how I view the world is the fact that the rich deduct payments to right wing causes from their taxes. Here's an example, donating to the group that has been systematically ruining the courts & legal system is a tax deduction: projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/o...

As they say, there are cathedrals everywhere.

Tried making some gingerbread. It turned out pretty good for our first attempt.

I wish Dems would redistrict in every state they could and hold immediate special elections.

Jag är en far.

This is a cool meeting of Mendelian and molecular genetics. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

It looks like Lonny Mush is the April Fool based on the Wisconsin election results.

Film idea: a Terminator gets sent back in time to protect and assist John Brown.

I happened upon some interesting guitar music on the Internet archive. Should I lose myself in a plethora of guitar books over the next 4 years and ten days?

Happy New Year everyone, I hope it goes better than expected.

My position on the Biden pardon is that the right only cares about power and will do anything to diminish their opponents & set the stage for future abuses of their own power. I'm not surprised that a president used his power to help his troubled adult child, regardless of the ethics of doing so.

The funniest thing Trump could do is deport Lonny.

If people really want to stop Trump, why not use the Logan act?

I had my covid booster and flu shot yesterday. Not feeling my best today, but it'll pass.

We managed to find the comet about an hour after sunset with some binoculars. It had quite a long tail!

I'm waiting for Walz to respond to Vance by saying, "That's different."

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #134,849! Not too bad.

My primary ballot is either Amy Klobuchar or weird cranks. It is the only race to vote on here. I'm staying home

Is this where it all started for JD?

Just had my biceps tendon reattached, who amongst us hasn't?

Minnehaha Falls is going strong with all the rain we've had recently.

Meeting with slimy home buyers/investors today. Wish me luck.

When you see a cyber truck.

Managed to see some things.

Same!

@templedrake.bsky.social I am enjoying this drink today at the American Swedish Institute in Minneapolis. Included is a description.

@templedrake.bsky.social what the heck happened with that plane over the weekend?

Sometimes a book is too good to not put down.

I'm traveling today and 20 flights are delayed. Mine was delayed because the pilot called out.

Apparently, one of the Roman Emperors played in the Siberian Orchestra. www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/11...

Going through Mom's things is intense. Lots of old documents and some wild family records. Grandfather's family record goes back hundreds of years in Sweden.

It's very difficult to say goodbye to someone you love.

I just got double 5 G'd. Now the tornado/air raid sirens are going off for the second time. Is this how it ends?

@jonasthewicked420.bsky.social welcome!

Tough night here. I had to send Mom to the hospital because she's getting weaker.

It's weird to see people doing the childish follow/unfollow thing here.

Good morning!

I did not receive a 14 day invite code. I'm a little disappointed.

This place has suddenly become more vibrant, with interesting discussions that are challenging looking held assumptions. Promising!

Big day here. My account is growing nicely. Welcome to all of the new people.

@jessiesinger.bsky.social welcome!

Whelp, student loan payments restarting in September has motivated me to start a master's program.

I woke up to 8 Skytifications this morning. Am I going viral?

I bought a Samsung watch today. Now I'm being tricked into restarting my exercise program.

Am I the only one that would like ElonJet to have an account here?

Good morning everyone.

It's a big day for the big blue sky. Let's goo!

Big things are happening!

Today is a great day to have options in your social media consumption.

I recently bought a new phone and had been thinking about not installing the other app. Fortunately, my invitation here arrived at the right time and I will not be installing the other app.
