Trump's attempt to rename the #GulfofMexico the #GulfOfAmerica is foolish grandstanding, but oddly appropriate. He's created a great gulf in America.

The @verizonofficial.bsky.social vtext/vzwpix service, which delivers e-mail messages to devices via SMS, has gone down; the e-mails are being rejected. I need to get some images onto my phone. What gives?

The politicization of #H5N1 has already started, and it could lead to a devastating lack of preparedness for a human-to-human transmitted variant. www.importantcontext.news/p/right-wing...

Every state should adopt laws protecting doctors who treat nonviable pregnancies, regardless of whether the electrical impulses that some might call a “heartbeat” are present. 3 doctors should be allowed to judge viability. www.propublica.org/article/abortion…

Hospitals Give Doctors Minimal Guidance Under Abortion Bans, Report Finds — ProPublica
Doctors described hospital lawyers who “refused to meet” with them for months, were hard to reach during “life or death” situations and offered little help beyond “regurgitating” the law, according to a Senate Finance Committee report.

Was going to stop by a local #Starbucks, which seemed to be one of the only things open on Christmas Eve. But then I remembered that employees in many parts of the US were striking, and felt as if I'd be crossing a picket line if I did.

Recently, #YouTube has been blocking access from my #Firefox browser, which has been augmented with plug-ins that block #Google's spying. Videos start and then hang. The message: "If we can't exploit you, we won't let you watch."

watching the shock and horror as trump’s cabinet roles are announced and thinking everyone needs to get familiar with this word
screenshot of a dictionary definition of kakistocracy: 

government by the least suitable or competent citizens of a state.
"the danger is that this will reduce us to kakistocracy"
• a state or society governed by its least suitable or competent citizens.
plural noun: kakistocracies
"the modern regime is at once a plutocracy and a kakistocracy"

As of today, I have only 100 followers here on BSky (I had more than 1500 on TwiXter). Not sure if this is because social media has fragmented, or because folks haven't found me yet, or both. Hopefully, interactions will build over time.

Getting our piano tuned today! It’s an Astin-Weight console. Short enough that you can see other musicians over the top. But it has a BIG low end, because entire back is soundboard and the bass strings go across diagonally. Furniture finish is inconsistent but sound is great.

Just checked, and in 2025 no #Medicare #PartD provider will cover #Paxlovid for #COVID19. We'll now see the virus burn through the vulnerable elderly population as never before. Humanity's handling of #SARSCoV2 has been so incompetent that #H5N1 stands to be truly devastating.

Adversaries have clearly realized that they can fly balloons OVER our existing air defenses and drones UNDER them, while we’re stuck defending only altitudes in between. thehill.com/policy/defense/5037304-…

Not a doctor, yet he believes he's entitled to deem health care prescribed by legitimate MDs "unnecessary." No wonder there is little public sympathy for his late colleague.

Today, again, I played HVAC engineer. Furnace controller blew a relay; building was without heat. Contractors in #Laramie are scarce, slow, and expensive. I diagnosed; drove 90 miles round trip to Cheyenne; picked up new board; traced wires; decoded cryptic instructions; drilled. 1/2

I've just set up @deck.blue on my Windows machine and @Openvibe.social on the iPhone. It'd be really nice if one or the other supported both Bsky and Mastodon on Windows, but right now I have Mastodon and deck.blue in two separate browser tabs.

Wow. It seems as if all of #TwiXter is fed up with the constant flow of political disinformation and coming to this platform. DOZENS of my follows and followers are now here. A true #Xodus.

Wife has a unique way of defrosting a turkey. Rather than trying to find room in a freezer or fridge, she buys it the weekend before and puts it in a cooler. This causes it to thaw very slowly; it's ready to cook but still safely cold by Thanksgiving.
