Just in case I miss you guys tomorrow …

I wanted to wish a Merry Christmas to each of you.

Throwback Thursday: 1982 Christmas greetings from CBS in New York!

I am linking again here to the Youtube channel for Hugo Faces, for a nifty Christmas greeting from CBS in 1982.

Hey, look!  It’s Ed Koch!



Re: Mastodon.

I’ve heard good things about this social media network. But I question the marketing strategy of naming it after an extinct animal.

“Someday when I have money to spare, I’m going to buy EVERY Batman comic by Arthur Miller.”

I’ll be honest with you …

I always get a little nervous when I see myself trending on Twitter.

A  friend of mine told me a little while ago it was only because so many people were leaving the platform: “In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.”

Why can’t we all just get Elon?

Yeah, the verdict is in for me.  (And, granted, I’m late keeping up with all the news … it’s been a difficult holiday season here.)  Elon Musk seems to be a pretty dubious champion of free speech.

I’m simply reading too many damning things about him banning journalists from Twitter for no apparent credible reason.  And then there’s the bizarre, pathological sentiment in the tweet below.  (Seriously, wtf?)

The man seems like a man-child fumbling both with the reins of his company and with a basic understanding of civil liberties.  He seems to be demonstrating that he champions free speech just so long as it’s free speech that he happens to like.  And peppering his tweets with oblique phrases like “the people have spoken” doesn’t change that.
