Meet the fur babies. Our Bombay cat “House Panther” 🐈‍⬛—the kitchen stool has always been his throne. Today, “Elsa” our Munchkin cat claimed it instead 🐈. Full-on seat swap! No clue why… but we’re watching 👀. #Caturday #CatsOfBluesky #BombayCat #MunchkinCat #CatLife #PetAntics

Our Black Bombay “House Panther” has claimed a fresh napping spot on the laundry table this Saturday afternoon 🐾😴 He’s drifting off, but that left eye is still on watch… barely. #HousePanther #BlackCat #CatNap #Caturday #BombayCat

This is Elsa. Woke up at 4:05 AM last night with shoulder pain. After applying heat, and ice. I watched some TV. Elsa sensed I hurt and jumped up on the recliner’s arm to keep me company. Snapped this—she hates photos, but stayed anyway. 🐾❤️ #Pets #CatsOfBluesky #Caturday #Comfort #FurryFriends

Elsa has an afternoon and nightly routine… and I’m just part of it 😄 She hops on the couch, then onto my chest. Headbutt = “you’re mine,” then she settles in to watch TV with me. Doesn’t matter what’s on… it’s better with Elsa 🐾📺 #CatsOfBluesky #CatLife #Cats

House rule in effect: our Bombay Cat House Panther claims every new delivery box as his domain. 📦🐈‍⬛ ONE box at a time though! We buy fancy new toys, but the box wins every time. He’ll humor us with the toy… until he’s tired and returns to his box throne. #Caturday #BlackCats #CatLogic #CatsOfBluesky

Gary Hogsten @hogsten.us · 07/03/2026

The rule in our house: the moment I stand up, the stool belongs to the House Panther. 🐈‍⬛ One jump, one stare, and the message is clear — “Thank you for warming my seat.” #Caturday #HousePanther #BombayCat #BlackCats

Solar Cycle 25 is making HF propagation rough today. A CME from Jan 8 hit the ACE spacecraft at 19:42 UTC (Jan 10). A G1 geomagnetic storm is underway, with a chance of G2 in the next 24 hours. Expect noisy bands. www.solarham.com #HamRadio #SolarCycle25 #CME #SpaceWeather #Propagation

Watching docs on 1970s Hollywood—films like All the President’s Men mirrored real events. With so many Bluesky folks tied to Hollywood/streamers, why no serious film or miniseries examining Trump’s era and the Epstein case? Read more in image ALT. #Film #Hollywood #Help #Documentary #Trump #Epstein

I was watching a documentary about Hollywood movies made in the the 1970’s and how a lot of the movies mirrored real life actual events of the time. Movies like “All the Presidents Men” with Robert Redford.

I know there are members on Bluesky with serious contacts in Hollywood and the online large streaming platforms.

My question is why hasn’t anyone made a movie or miniseries chronicling the life and times of President Donald J. Trump and his connections and time with Jeffrey Epstein as well as Epstein’s cohorts involving their activities?

I think it would really be powerful that would lead to his removal from office!

Merry Christmas Eve🎅! Locate Santa, and Talk to Santa on his Christmas Eve 2025 tour around the world! You may know someone who has little ones or grandchildren that you can share this report with who will definitely appreciate this intelligence. #LinksInPicALT #NORADTracksSanta #SantaNet #HamRadio

🟥START INTELLIGENCE REPORT FOR EYES ONLY🟥

Greetings Agent,

Christmas Eve 2025 is here! If you have little ones or grandchildren then they already know who is on the way on Wednesday night… Santa!🎅.

🇺🇸So, to assist you in bringing in Christmas Eve you can track Santa LIVE by way of the Internet through a family friendly program by the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) to track Santa on December 24th around the world.

NORAD volunteers also operated a phone line to help families track Santa. The number is (877) HI-NORAD or 877-446-6723.

NORAD has been offering Santa tracking services in some capacity since 1958.

Here is the link: https://www.noradsanta.org

▪️Google Santa Tracker!

Google operates a Santa tracker at santatracker.google.com on Dec. 24 and 25.

Throughout December and the rest of the year, Google's Santa tracker website is full of online holiday games and educational activities for kids of various ages.

Google has tracked Santa’s worldwide journey on Christmas Eve since 2004. They have calculated that Santa's Christmas Eve journey takes 25 hours. "He makes his first stop just after 10 p.m. local time in far eastern Russia, when it’s 5 a.m. in New York and 11 a.m. in Paris," Google says.

🎅📡 Also, if you have a family member who is an Amateur Radio operator (Ham Radio), and they have a HF radio then you can have your little ones - actually TALK - to Santa at the North Pole by way of two-way radio starting at 7:00PM Central Time.

Here is the Santa Net link: https://www.cqsanta.com

🛜 If you do not have access to a Ham Radio you can still tune in and listen to Santa talk LIVE to children from around the United States and sometimes the world via a live audio feed on YouTube.

Here is the Santa Net Live Audio link: https://www.cqsanta.com/live-stream

Have a wonderful Merry Christmas Eve!

We’ve been caring for four feral cats shared with a neighbor. All are fixed, Kitten Boots has really taken to people. Today, with no treats, she let me pick her up twice and even tried to come inside. She clearly wants to be domesticated, so we’re taking it slow. #FriendlyFeral #CatsofBluesky

Crazy! My YL knows I haven’t been on radio much. I told her what’s happening with Solar Cycle 25 🤔. I just took a few screenshots of my area forecast around 6:05PM today, Wednesday, 01 Oct 2025. Solar sites are saying we will have periods of Moderate (G2) storming persist on Wednesday. 73, AB4GH

House Panther met his plush doppelgänger—and he’s not amused. Our sleek Bombay black cat, guardian of his domain, can’t figure out why the “intruder” won’t respond. Watching him circle and inspect his silent rival was pure comedy. Happy Caturday! 🐾😂 #cats #catpics #catsky #catsofbluesky #caturday

This is Rusty, our beloved dachshund who passed at 18½ years. Taken July 18, 2005—with his first ham bone. He loved it so much he turned into a little gremlin guarding it! No-one could take it away! Stubborn, possessive, and yes, an occasional a**hole—but we adored him. Forever part of the family 🐾❤️

I may be retired, but my oath to serve & protect still stands. I don’t wear the uniform, but I’m still on watch—because freedom isn’t a moment, it’s a lifelong duty. It still needs defenders—at home, in our streets, and at the polls. Now more than ever! #StillServing #Freedom #Democracy #America #US
