I'm going by the SunTimes widget on my phone; I'm at 43°N latitude, I expect the rate of change goes faster the further north you are.

According to SunTimes, we should get a full minute change on 3 January 2025, maxing out at 3m1s on the Spring Equinox, 20 March 2025.

This is my favourite open source android app for this week.

"Suntimes" is an absolutely fantastic app for everything sun and moon related. I wanted to know when the fall equinox was, and there it was. The app is available on F-Droid, and the project is hosted on GitHub.

A worthy sponsorship for a few of us?

#KatiePhang, host of #MSNBC 's #KatiePhangShow, earlier today:
On his way out of court Trump is asked by #media if he will testify and he answers: “Yes.”

#MarkJacob, former editor at the #ChicagoTribune and the #SunTimes, quips:
There’s no way Trump will testify. His lawyers would tackle him before he got to the #witness stand.

Me: Fuck, I would PAY to see that, lolol

Does Fran Spielman get paid by the article? The only news here is the housekeeping of when SEIU Local 1 announces their support of Johnson. It's worth a sentence, if that. It's like making a story out of a scientist announcing that they'll be holding a press conference to declare that the sun will come up in the morning.
