Today’s reminder that the reason all of the awful & illegal things keep happening in American politics- dating back at least to Iran-Contra, but actually Watergate, but actually 1865 - is because there are never any actual legal or political consequences for all of the awful and illegal things happening in American politics.

Barry Croft, Jr. plotted to kidnap Michigan’s governor, Gretchen Whitmer. Barry Croft , Jr. is a domestic terrorist and was just sentenced to nearly 20 years in jail.

This is how you help preserve our democracy: ACCOUNTABILITY.

The DeSantis administration was sued for failing to release official records relating to its infamous migrant flight to Martha’s Vineyard. Then it dumped the documents right before Christmas, hoping no one would notice. But we noticed. I’m doing my part to amplify this story.

Can you name the tower behind me? Hint: I’m in London.

While I’m here, be sure to grab tickets to see me live on stage in Allegiance from Jan-Apr. Yes, I’m 85 and still going strong and breaking new ground!

Light that left its star on the first day of 2022, is today 5.88 trillion miles (9.46 trillion km) away. Imagine how far you can go in 2023. https://go.nasa.gov/3Z4hKwP

Rebecca Solnit on the Tate vs. Thunberg Twitter spat:

‘Beyond the entertainment value of what transpired over the past few days is a serious reminder of the intersection between machismo, misogyny, hostility to climate action and climate science, and the dank underworld of rightwing characters like Tate recruiting white boys and young men to their views.’

@futurebird It was the first instance I joined in November (it was one of the few with registrations still open), and I'm glad I switched to a smaller instance on a whim after a few weeks. I just realized someone I followed early on disappeared from my follows because they blocked the instance a while back, and I couldn't see them in my list when manually migrating my follows (I messed up the automated migration, idk if that'd have worked). I'm of two minds about that: (1/2)

My 21 year old autistic son has paid more in taxes over the past 3 years of working a retail job than has the “billionaire” ex-POTUS.

This has been a strange whirlwind of a year. I don't entirely feel like I have my feet under me, but I also feel like I've been regaining a spark from childhood that I thought was lost forever.

The social media chaos has given me a chance to adjust to a more healthy balance of news. The environment here has helped me work at better expressing my thoughts without losing myself.

This coming year I will reach more personal milestones and find whole new surprises. Scary, but exciting.

Molly’s favourite cushion today.
Best wishes for 2023 to everyone.

For many years, I have been hoping to be able to digitise weather and climate information from several centuries of logbooks on board of Danish ships, stored in the National Archive of Denmark.

Thanks to generous funding by the #A.P. Møller-Maersk Fund, my colleague Adam Jon Kronegh and I can conduct this exciting work, starting from tomorrow, 1/1 2023.

The painting shows the Danish flag ship Christianus Qvintus in the Battle of Køge Bay 1677. Its logbooks can also be found in the archive.

9 years since Fred came to live with us 🥰

I love closing out the year with this. 😊

On December 31, 1995, exactly 27 years ago today, legendary cartoonist Bill Watterson published his final 'Calvin and Hobbes' comic strip.

How beautiful and appropriate it was, and a timeless reminder of what we have before us in 2023. ❤️

Happy New Year, ya'll!
