Hey everyone. Just a reminder that you don't have to put up with bullying, shaming or guilt-tripping, just because it is Christmas.

If you don't want to see those relatives, you don't have to.

If you don't want to cook a huge dinner you don't have to.

If you don't feel like celebrating, you don't have to.

And don't let Christmas adverts bully you into being anxious. They just want your money, they don't care about your wellbeing.

Christmas is just one day. Be true to yourselves and put your mental and physical health first.

Another amazing Jew!
Prominent physicist Leon Cooper won the Nobel Prize in Physics 1972, along with two colleagues, for developing the BCS theory of superconductivity. Cooper’s central contribution to the theory was the discovery of “Cooper pairs,” electrons that are attracted to each other in superconductors

@GottaLaff Musk is reinstating poll tax, lol.

Love this #cartoon about today's #jan6 hearing from Marc Murphy. (Click the image to see the whole thing!)

New tea tag dropped (new to me 😉 )
I think it's a good fit for mastodon

I understand that lots of people are new here from #Twitter and trying to grok how #Mastodon works.

Welcome!

Maybe don't start off by walking into our cozy house and start by saying, "I'm just here to look around. If I don't like what I see - and I'm already not fond of your furniture - I may not stay for dinner."

Perhaps try, "Thanks for inviting me. I hope I'll fit in and really come to like it here! Here's a bottle of decent wine."

Ron Ben-Israel is the Israeli-born son of a Holocaust Survivor. After finishing his military service he moved to NY to be a dancer. Arthritis ended that pursuit & he discovered baking. His cakes bring joy to all.

It's a little after midnight, and I'm done. Going to bed.

Nighty night!

Ruby Freeman is just one of many victims of Color from Trump’s lies of a stolen election. The victims should launch civil lawsuits for defamation, harassment, damage to their mental health, & uprooting their lives. #findhimguilty #nojusticenopeace #violenceagainstPOC #evil #CriminalProbe #civillawsuits #defamation #harrassment #reckless #Trump #guilty #thebiglie #blackmastodon #electionlies

The link between Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg?

Peter Thiel.

Both Peter Thiel and Elon Musk are Co-Founders of PayPal.

Peter Thiel then became one of Facebook's first and primary funders, and until recently sat on their Board of Directors.

Also: Peter Thiel was one of Donald Trump's biggest donators.

And he runs a super sketchy company called Palantir that empowers ICE.

Mastodon is so active! The supply of up-to-date news from trusted sources is off the charts. Reminds me of a site I used to know.

The January 6th Committee has done America a great service — giving the nation what it needed most: an accounting of what occurred on January 6, why it occurred, and Trump’s role in it. Given the evidence presented by the committee, the DOJ should have no choice but to prosecute.

Elon Musk's poll vow to "step down" as CEO of Twitter is BS and we know it. It' a charade to help Tesla stock price which has been cratering and bc he realized there's a personal downside to being CEO in name--such as EU penalties. BUT we 100% know Musk will still run Twitter!

BREAKING: Tesla gets downgraded on Wall Street over Elon Musk’s Twitter antics, banning of journalists - https://edition.cnn.com/2022/12/19/business/tesla-stock-downgrade/index.html

Congress has never, in all of U.S. presidential history, referred an American president to the Department of Justice for criminal investigation and prosecution - until now.
