We were comparing favorite Christmas shows today and I had to admit my secret shame: the c 1991 A Wish For Wings That Work, by @berkebreathed. It only aired once, director fired, author hated it, never released on DVD, and no streaming service has it. Just a low-res Youtube copy survives

Cancelled my doctors appointment today. It was just a well visit anyways and couldn’t see riding the bus halfway across town in subzero weather for that. Besides, I’m a total klutz in the snow.

I think important to watch this (NSFW) footage and investigation into what happened on just one street in Bucha in March 2022. Now imagine that multiplied into every area the Russians occupied/occupy. Imagine this was your street. nytimes.com/2022/12/22/video/r

Christmas Day will be 51°f so I guess a white Xmas is out again this year.

Perhaps of no consequence to us CoSoNauts, but something we should all keep an eye on is this. I would not want to be a part of an instance controlled by unknown owners with an unknown agenda.

If asking questions can get you banned from Twitter, then all journalists should be aiming to get banned from Twitter.

It's a badge of honor.

You can be a Nazi or white supremacist on Twitter but you can’t ask a question that annoys Elon Musk? That's pretty telling.

If you're NOT getting banned from Twitter, you're doing it wrong!
