Anyway, here's the cute picture of Gizmo that I tried to post on his Instagram account when Meta broke... #cats #CatsOfMastodon #Snoopy
Russia’s invasion of #Ukraine has devastated schools and kindergartens throughout the country.
Since February 2022 alone, over 3,790 educational facilities have been damaged or destroyed.

“The SARS-CoV-2 virus is evolving 2 to 2.5-fold faster than influenza A and 7 to 10-fold faster than other seasonal common cold coronaviruses. This rapid evolution allows SARS-CoV-2 to bypass our collective population immunity wall made from prior vaccinations and #COVID infections, causing wavelets of infection year-round that are not seasonal like the flu and other viruses.” | @catchthebaby
#StarTrek Statistics for this week:
SNW "Hegemony" is the 890th official episode of Star Trek. It is the first to air on an Aug. 10 and brings the total franchise runtime up to 681 hours, 22 minutes.
It is the 20th episode of Trek to air this year. With another 10 episodes of Lower Decks to be released, 2023 would rank 9th for most episodes out of the 32 years in which an episode has aired. A far cry from last year, but still not bad. If we get some Prodigy, it might climb even higher.

I guess I'll end with my usual plea: don't buy Starlink internet. Or if you do, please tell them that you, a paying customer, care about the night sky. They need to make it a priority to make their satellites fainter and use fewer of them - this is a very doable engineering problem that they don't care about right now. There are many other ways to provide internet around the world that don't ruin the night sky and destroy low-Earth orbit.
@WestCoastChelle Bashir gets better but it's not instantaneous.

Don’t be taken in by this handsome devil’s charms.
He’s going to annoy me all day, endlessly insisting on going out, despite knowing that it’s windy & raining, & then coming back in again 30 seconds later 🙄😼

@velshi is, indeed, the hardest working person on TV. He's on MSNBC live, saving us from Christmas reruns. Thank you, sir.
On this day I’m thinking about Ukrainians struggling without electricity, trying to stay warm, fearful of Russian violence and hoping to stay alive amid a war that is so unnecessary. May the coming year bring an end to the madness.
He talked about electric cars. I don't know anything about cars, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.
Then he talked about rockets. I don't know anything about rockets, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.
Now he talks about software. I happen to know a lot about software & Elon Musk is saying the stupidest shit I've ever heard anyone say, so when people say he's a genius I figure I should stay the hell away from his cars and rockets.
Happy Sunday and Merry Christmas for those who celebrate! 🎄
Today, my Daughter and her boyfriend will be coming to my parents' house for Christmas dinner. My Daughter will cook. My Mom is exceedingly happy about this. I'm happy my Mom is well enough to enjoy the day.
Last night at hockey game, friend told me her sibling, an #ER doc at area major medical center, is being made to work while sick w #COVID. Whole family down w it. And surgeon had to come in & operate w COVID.
#Healthcare workers make a lot of #sacrifices. #Burnout #Vermont
My night last night was filled with people coming in for other complaints and leaving with diagnoses of influenza, covid or some other respiratory infection. Oxygen sats in the 80's and coughing nonstop, but they're in because their back has been hurting for a few months. Amazing. They're really taking the "covid is over" to heart. #covid #flu
