Pinning here just in case; while I still adore mastodon, I need a bluesky account for two reasons;
1 - Literally everyone I knew/followed on Xitter, especially the ones that didn't make it to the hairy elephant is getting on that boat.
2 - QUOTED BOOSTS. Seriously, mastodon, it's not hard. At this point the resistance to the feature is because of the early adopters getting butt hurt over it for some reason.

Yeah, keeping off the social feeds and the total cessation of doom scrolling cold has produced... interesting results. I had no idea how many false alarms and overall expressions of panic had been impacting me negatively.
While I keep hearing news that has lifted my spirits (5 decades of politics gives me hope) I'm wondering if there's a market for a shirt with the following slogan:

Reading an article today about, despite some small layoffs, Apple's employee count still went up... to 164,000 people.
Yeah, I'm shocked. 🤯
The following is a list of the worldwide number of employees at Apple Inc., including its predecessors, Apple Computer and the Apple Computer Company, by fiscal year.[1][2][3] The first quarter of Apple's fiscal year starts on October 1. Each fiscal quarter consists of a 35-day month, followed by two 28-day months.

I saw the original cartoon by the unstoppable Mike Luckovich a few days ago and thought "oof, nice."
Then today... I saw this.
#MAGASplaining is now a thing... and about as deftly handled as Trump fellating a microphone.
HAVE YOU VOTED YET??
I have.
As a father of a daughter (19) and the son of a woman who wasn't allowed to hold a mortgage nor credit card in her name when our NYPD dad abandoned my and my 3 younger sisters when I was 8.... in 1972, you best well believe I sure AF have.
@Posibilities_Penguin Ah, there it is; Trump's Jan 6 speech is noted at 53,000 people; MSNBC is reporting there are 73,000 people at Kamala's Ellipse speech.
