The girlfriend went to a conference. There were stickers. Now to find a spot for them on the laptop
five stickers. From upper right, clockwise: 
- "Risk Accepted" (red slightly worn lettering on white background), 
- "Ignore all previous instructions" (black typewriter font on shiny rainbow background), 
- "Not dead yet" (white on a black virus silhouette on a red round sticker), 
- "Safety third" (a red cross surrounded by the words, a burning bottle, and what appears to be a small explostion), 
- "rage against the machine learning" (the HAL 9000 eye, the words on the bottom in a ratty typewriter font)

The winter solstice has passed and today is 5 seconds longer than yesterday, and sunset is at 4:31pm and will not get any earlier. Yeah 👏.

[Dark humour twist:] Get ready for the feast of "we ain't going to die of starvation this year, and we can eat a little extra, as long as it is likely to go off soon anyway". Don't forget to give toys to the children who seem like they might not make it, but no kites or spring time toys, that's just cruel.

I should have taken pics. Kite-flying on a frozen lake is a beautiful thing.

Here in MN, there's no such thing as too cold, only the wrong clothes.
Urban Hermit mastodon (AP)
we don't get snow often in Oregon, but in 2003 during a snow-pocalypse that had Salem shut down, I flew a two line flexifoil stunt kite (known for high speed figure 8s) in the downtown park on the east side of the Willamette River in the only treeless space big enough. It was rare to get good wind there, and parking nearby was almost rarer.

I was unemployed most of that winter, a time in my life when I was doing a lot of seasonal work for Fish & Wildlife. Lots of winter kite flying.

Not to mention the whole conundrum of people who have been infected and may now have literal brain uh-ohs are routinely accusing people who haven't been infected of having brain boo-boos.

It all feels incredibly untenable to be in a situation where nobody can rely on anyone else's judgment while we're all tottling around in sacks of expiring meat products being piloted by a giant squishy walnut that can be damaged by toxic snot expulsions.

Deep blue-purple shadows are cast on the snowdrifts in the foreground, which are textured and uneven. A dark, partially snow-covered log or rock formation is in the bottom center, with a small pool of reflected light visible within it.  The background shows more trees and snow-covered ground."

I find it… odd… that the American Conservatives I know who choose not to have an opinion on the South African guy who uses Twitter to issue instructions to their legislators also using Twitter to endorse a German Nazi-curious party also choose to berate those of us who do have an opinion on the matter on the grounds of his right to freedom of speech.

I wonder how long it would take Elon Musk to paint an entire apartment (two coats).

Most Nazareth Arabs are Christian, as are those in Bethlehem.

I attended a Catholic wedding in Nazareth, proceedings were in Arabic, of course.

Many are Melchite, some are Maronite.

I really don't know what your point is.

So the Democratic Party and it's most recent President have failed to measure up to our dreams of what should be possible and needed by most working families.

Does that in any way change what we need to do to stop losing to batshit crazy MAGA Republicans doing the bidding of the wealthiest among us?

Is there anything I should do differently in working to ensure voters hear & believe things that are true, not things that are false?

I don't know who you've been conversing with, because it doesn't seem to be me.

From where I stand, not rehashing every Democratic failure as precursor to every political conversation isn't fetishizing, it's focusing on the goal.

..."It’s chaos time. It’s Jupiter in Gemini square Saturn in Pisces. It’s Mars retrograde. Next week, it will be Venus square Uranus. As expected, this holiday season is not likely to be boring. So, let’s try to be merry and embrace the excitement of … the unexpected and the chaos and entertainment that comes with it.
...
It was four years ago, on the winter solstice of December 20-21, 2020, that the “New Aira” began with the conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn at 0° Aquarius. For the next nine of ten occurrences, this 20-year synodic cycle will occur in air signs, which hasn’t happened since the last air epoch began some 800+ years ago. That was around the time of the creation of the Magna Carta, which basically proclaimed that rulers were not above the law. Everyone, even kings and queens, must be held accountable to the law, as is everyone else. The Magna Carta was the inspiration behind the creation of the United States Constitution. Jupiter and Saturn specifically refer to rules and laws in mundane astrology.

The element sign of the Jupiter/Saturn conjunction changes approximately every 200 years, and there are four elements. We have left the earth element (central government controls, status based on material wealth) as of December 2020, after approximately 200 years. We are now in the air element for the next 200 years, highlighting values and status based on intellect and creativity.
...
the winter solstice of 2020 was historic because it started the “New Aira,” a term coined by MMTA graduate and analyst Kat Powell. And now, four years later, it meets its first quarter cycle challenge, a time when the visions conceived during the conjunction symbolically go through a painful “birthing” process. Laws of the land and policies of large governmental entities are likely to be tested and challenged. Jupiter has a tendency to desire to do “too much” to be too grand and too large. Saturn has a tendency to do too little and to be too worried that it won’t have or do enough. The solution is the middle path, the path of moderation and compromise, although the square can be reluctant to compromise (which is why you have courts to settle these matters). To not be moderate and measured in one’s actions during this square (August 2024-June 2025) is a recipe for difficulties (trying to do too much too fast, or too little and too slowly).
...
Jupiter is still in the volatile sign of Gemini into June 2025. The first half of 2025 is likely to be volatile. In many ways, I suspect markets may reflect the personality of the newly returned U.S. President Donald Trump, who is a Gemini with his Sun conjunct Uranus and both in opposition to his Sagittarius Moon. He is the Jupiter part of the Jupiter/Saturn square. This can be a positive thing, or it can turn out to be difficult, but probably a combination of each,
...
We then find all the outer planets changing signs between November 19, 2024 (Pluto) and May through to September 2025 (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune). This hasn’t happened in 300 years and before that time, it was another 300 years. This also portends a period of great chaos and a changing of directions. Think of the next few months like a huge tide coming in—and then the riptide starts as the waves go back out. :...

Chuck mastodon (AP)
But you can approach them with compassion, and that is a good thing. I have an acquaintance whom I felt was a complete asshole but after getting to know them I realized it was them dealing with shit that their family of origin, and especially the father figure in that family, had laid down.

Once I understood the foundation I could work with the person and not trigger their undealt with childhood trauma.
Pete Prodoehl 🍕 mastodon (AP)
Oh, totally... approach with compassion. I think the idea is that even if you yourself are doing better, it's good to realize others might not be that far along the journey.

An explosion kills the head of Russia's nuclear defense forces in Moscow


https://text.npr.org/g-s1-38555
KYIV — A top Russian military leader accused of using banned chemical weapons against Ukrainian troops was assassinated in Moscow on Tuesday. A source from Ukraine's security service confirmed to NPR that the security service was behind the killing.\
\
Lt. Col. Igor Kirillov had been in charge of the Russian military's nuclear, biological and chemical protection forces since 2017. Kirillov and one of his aides were killed after an explosive device planted in a scooter detonated.\
\
The killing took place near the entrance of a residential building in southeastern Moscow, where Russian state media said Kirillov lived. Video shared on Russian social media, which NPR could not independently verify, shows blasted windows and burned buildings at the site.

As of August 2022, 193 states have become parties to the CWC and accept its obligations. Israel has signed but not ratified the agreement, while three other UN member states (Egypt, North Korea and South Sudan) have neither signed nor acceded to the treaty. Most recently, the State of Palestine deposited its instrument of accession to the CWC on 17 May 2018. In September 2013, Syria acceded to the convention as part of an agreement for the destruction of Syria's chemical weapons.
