The advance of technology is inexorable and merciless. Nothing is sacred. Looking out at the moon recently I saw that (thanks to Elon) today's witches' broom has autopilot and in-flight entertainment.
@pacman But that broom is not red. Wasn't red the color of that flying autopilot in space? 🤣
@paulfoerster At night there are no colors. What a pity !
@pacman I can't go and have a look at that darn thing.
@paulfoerster It's difficult. To get near to one you have to get your own broom (or rent one), get insurance, find an instructress, take flying lessons...😄😄😄.

@pacman I have a witch living with me. 🧙‍♀️🤣

@evelynefoerster

@pacman
I am a witch - 100%! 😂

@paulfoerster

@evelynefoerster @paulfoerster Gosh, what a hard life. Slaving away all day over the cauldron concocting brews and potions (dried toad, eye of newt, etc) and then flying around the whole night like Deliveroo or Door Dash delivering the brews and potions or taking orders for spells and curses. And regular attendances at distant witches' covens to keep up to date on the latest spells and curses. And bringing the broom in for servicing or your familiar (the cat) to the vet. It must be non-stop.

@pacman

Oh absolutely — it’s relentless! The cauldron never scrubs itself, the toads are getting picky about their working conditions, and don’t even get me started on the traffic in the air lanes these days. The broom’s in for its third tune-up this month and the cat insists on only artisanal tuna now. But hey, someone’s got to keep the hex economy going!

I bet Granny Weatherwax still has to bump-start it, and if it ever asked her to 'upgrade', it would not go well.

@bytebro The Federal Aviation Authority keeps demanding that the brooms be equipped with navigation lights, strobes and transponders but the demands fall constantly on deaf witch ears and, anyway, they ignore ATC ("Witch23Alpha, traffic at your 3 o'clock, turn left heading 230, climb to and maintain level 230, squawk 2397....").
