I’ve been off Twitter for years and even before that I probably posted less than a half-dozen times per year. I mostly prefer subject-based social media (here) over identity-based, but I’m looking to surround myself with people who talk about something other than politics because the last Trump presidency I just couldn’t handle the constant tide of horrors.

I just need somewhere to escape all that and if not, I’m going to be in a really mentally unhealthy place for the next four years.

I just bought Govee lights this year and put them up. It was a couple hundred dollars vs $4800 for professional permanent lights. I don’t know how long they’ll last, but I know I’m getting too old to be climbing on my roof.

Overall I like the lights, but I have nothing to compare them with. They’ve been up since just before Halloween.

What is this, solicitation of bribes? Because these big companies are going to try to swing the vote with cash.
