Happy #SlackerdaySaturday! I slept in this morning, so it's another slow start.

We're sliding into the deep freeze so I'll spend most of the day inside. Even the birds didn't come to the feeders until the sun shone directly on the food. Now they're making up for lost time.

There's not much I have to do today, so I may take some time out to watch one of my favorite Christmas movies, "Love Actually". It's regarded as comedy/romance but it always makes me a little sad as well.

#Today
Uncle Harvey mastodon (AP)
Watching another Christmas movie is way down on my Honey-doin schedule anymore. I've seen so many already. But that's not really up to me. The wife sorta owns the remote for our movie viewing pickings. So, yeah.. probably another holiday movie will be making it into #myday #today anyway. 😏

At least I hope it is a good one. Like a re re-run of "Die Hard" or something. 🤞

@simonrjones I expect something *will* change, but since it seems unlikely it will include excising him I doubt it will be a very effective change.

I’m wearing my Christmas jumper today. Tom hates it but I love it. What do you think?
Me in the hallway taking a mirror selfie. You can’t see my face but you get a good view of my jumper which is white with a design of a plump black cat wearing a red Christmas jumper decorated with white snowflakes. She’s also wearing red reindeer antlers. The outfit goes well with her little red nose and white whiskers
Sharonbw mastodon (AP)
It’s perfect for #Caturday as well as Christmas. You should have gotten Tom a matching one. 😂

@Sharonbw So many times I have wanted to buy Tom a Christmas jumper but he is a massive grinch about the whole concept!

Creo que esta tarde me voy a meter toda la última temporada de Lo que hacemos en las sombras entre pecho y espalda

I woke up with a pinched nerve. To avoid a trip to urgent care or the ER, I'm trading my MIL a dozen bakery donuts for a few muscle relaxers. If I can get it to relax for a day or two, I'll be fine. Currently, I'm not my best, and I almost had to ask my wife for help using the bathroom. 🤦🏼‍♂️ Luckily, I managed to keep my dignity a little longer. I blame my work for this. The last week was stressful beyond the usual.

@Sharonbw
Me too. It's hard to do the simplest tasks with pain. It's in my neck.
Sharonbw mastodon (AP)
Ugh! At least you have a long vacation to relax, though I know you don't want to spend it in pain.

Good morning, Mastodon friends! Winter Solstice will be a chilly one here, but the sunshine makes the outdoors look happy and bright. Even though Jan. and Feb. usually are the coldest and snowiest parts of the winter, my mood always improves once the days start getting longer instead of shorter!
My fun holiday project for the day is dehydrating mini marshmallows. I've never done it before, but supposedly they're great to eat by the handful or add to cereal or hot chocolate.
Have a good day!

Apparently citydwellers in the US are walking 15% faster than they did in 1980

that's the result of some cool research ...

... by academics who acquired video from four major pedestrian areas in big cities, taken in 1979-80 ...

... then compared it to video from the same precise spots in 2008-2010

Other findings:
- people *linger* less
- they're more likely to be alone

there is this older study which shows the connection between higher car frequency/speed and lower human connections. Could be a similar effect.

A cover of the Nature Astronomy journal, dated December 2024, Volume 8, issue number 12, featuring a three-dimensional visualization of the cosmic velocity field inferred from the Cosmicflows-4 catalog of galaxies' distances and velocities. This map spans two billion lightyears from top to bottom. The velocity field is mapped by means of tens of thousands of very thin streamlines, seeded at the positions of the catalog's galaxies. Streamlines are shown white and semi-transparent, against a black background. They exhibit a very complex pattern with multiple attractors, seen as points of convergence of the lines. A text reads Galaxies from wherever flock together.

Happy Solstice! I'm sharing once again my favourite scene from Blight, which takes place at the Kensington Festival of Lights in Toronto.

"But this was what people always did, in the darkest season—huddle together for warmth and convince themselves that the dawn would come again."

Dear friends, may you kick at the darkness until it bleeds daylight.

Art by Masivart on IG.
A chaotic scene of the Festival of Lights in Kensington Market. Surrounded by various performers in costumes and animal masks and illuminated by both lanterns and magic, the three main characters, Maya (mid-20s, female, Tamil, wearing thick black glasses), Ian (late-40s male, white, very thin and in black-and-white), and Jonah (mid-40s, Métis, at the lead of the group urging the rest of them on) are moving through the crowd.
