Happy Hogswatch and Winter or Summer Solstice, depending on your hemisphere
As for me, the Smoking Bishop (a port punch) is on the stove in preparation for this evening's gathering.

Blessed #Yule, my northern hemisphere friends! Help us keep the fires burning this longest night. Remember that the sun will always return, even after the darkest nights.
Photo of a page of a book. Printed is:
O hasten, hasten through the dark
Under the dim reminding stars 
To ding again what is small, tender, beloved,
The hope and mercy of this world 
At the mercy of this world
In the darkest dark, the longest night.
Photo of a snowy path through tall snow-drenched trees with the sun breaking through the branches. Overlaid is the text: Blessed Yule. May the solstice and turning of the wheel bring you love, peace and good fortune in the coming year.

Inside: Proud to be a blockhead; and more!

A writer, bundled in furs, sitting on a block of ice and writing with a quill pen. His head has been replaced with that of a skeleton. His inkpot is suspended over a camp stove. He has written, 'No man but a blockhead ever wrote except for money.' Surrounding him in a semicircle are nine angry, wealthy men in old fashioned suits, shouting and gesticulating. The background is a faded US$100 bill.

"Being read and being part of a community and a conversation matters a lot to me. But the very act of writing is so important to me that even if no one read me, I would still write."

Amen to that.

I totally identify with everything you say in this piece. I never saw metrics for Disintermedia until I reestablished my lemonade stand on SubStack. I only see metrics from there because it shoves them in my face, and I haven't figured out how to turn them off.

"Artists who are recruited to make new pink slime are given reference links to existing pink slime and ordered to replicate it as closely as possible. The tracks produced this way that do the best are then fed to the next group of musicians to replicate, and so on."

I hear keep repeating
in reference to #Trump's 'presidency'
as
'incoming administration'
...
Trump's presidency is NOT an 'Administration'

It's a criminal association.

What I'm listening to: "Withering", punipunidenki

Hyper cool, laid-back jazz lounge, with just enough production sparkle on it to make it feel like it's in the "electronica" rack at the record store. The hop trips. I found this artist through a wildly different collaboration they did with Moe Shop (see upthread and/or search "from:mcc listening"); most of their solo discography is in this sorta chill jazz register. Here, I promise only three minutes of immaculate vibes.

@admitsWrongIfProven it seems like the people who wanna fight are gravitating to bluesky, so maybe it's serving as like a honeypot to keep that stuff away from mastodon, i don't know. but the thing is the knife that gets you is the one you don't see coming
Oh, i'm not against a good fight, just bored of the people that come with the same standard insults. But if they just bluesky away, that's fine for me.

I always heard "Happy Festivus!" as a joke... but anybody planning on saying/doing something with it this year?

Other than watching the Seinfeld episode, that is? I don't have TV anymore, so doubt I'd be watching anything. I'd probably get a striped pole I can put on my desk. Too bad I couldn't find a mini-Santa hat anywhere... would've been perfect to have my plushy Cthulhu sitting with the pole with a santa hat on it.

I hope an election is called soon because we need to get rid of Justin Trudeau, and fast!

Because this is just embarrassing.

Canada is facing the biggest crisis in decades and Trudeau is content with stupid gimmicks.

What does it matter if there’s a GST holiday when we’re facing 25% increase in tariffs?

But there's nothing anyone in Canada can do about Trump being a madman who loves being able to threaten everyone with regressive taxes.

I suppose Canada could start digging smuggling tunnels and we could all pretend Canadian goods were made in some warehouse in Detroit.

@alienghic Trudeau isn’t going away because of Trump. He’s going away because he’s Trudeau.

It just so happens Trump is one more reason the Liberal Party will be decimated next election.
