There are drizzles, then there are showers and then there are downpours.

There are good writers, there are great writers and then there is Salman Rushdie.

And a marathon on the North Pole, to finish the Marathon Grand Slam Club :-)

In 2021, I first had a dream of running a marathon.

I even ran a 10K distance, before a leg operation.

It has now become evident to me that its not going to be easy. And it would be a long time before I would even start running again.

But that's the crazy part.
Now I want it even more.

Just saw some of Dhruv Rathee videos. They are so good.

I'm yet to see a good criticism of his videos - while there are plenty who criticize him.

Ad Hominem - a logical fallacy where you attack the person instead of attacking his arguments, to prove that his arguments are incorrect.

That's my fav too.

Just read that NFL asked New England Patriots to close their account on Bluesky.

That means we are doing great. Keep it up.

X, Threads, Truth Social ... All need to die.
Let's go Bluesky.

Broke my new year resolution today. But that doesn't mean I'm going to wait for the next year now.

Tomorrow I'll be back on track.

As I said before, alcohol by itself is not bad ... And a society can benefit from it to a large extent.

Similarly, gambling when done within limits can provide a lot of entertainment.

Some people go overboard is no reason to ban gambling.
I'm dying for them to legalize gambling in Texas.

I want a "Pink Sky" for Instagram.

The convicted pedophile doesn't want fact checking. #suckerberg

It's like saying Bars are bad. Yes, Alcohol is bad for some people and worse if anyone drinks a lot. But that doesn't mean, Alcohol itself should be banned.

Gambling is also a lot of fun, if done within limits.

One of my 2025 resolution -

STOP discussing politics for a year.

Wish me luck.

Harry Potter type prophecy - those who are easily offended shall be, offended.

Query: One word that most users on Twitter use to describe elon musk Grok: Based on posts found on X, the one word that most users on Twitter use to describe Elon Musk is "asshole."

lol

So Elon Musk is already our Jesus now?

My current favorite sitcom is Frasier ... specially the latest two seasons (released in 2023 and 2024) on Paramount Plus.

Most of the times, I hate it when a show or a movie is revived after decades for no good reason. But this show is funnier and more importantly - it is still Frasier.

That was expected honestly.

I believe you can do that now also ... You don't have to necessarily buy the subscription. But then you wouldn't get the updates. And you would get to download the latest templates etc.

I'm currently reading The Misery by Stephen King. Loving it so far.

Let me know what book should I read next.

Fun fact - the reward for info on the shooter is 'up to $10,000.' That's not even enough to cover the average family deductible on most plans.

The European Federation of Journalists (EFJ) which represents over 295,000 journalists in 44 countries has announced it will stop publishing content on Elon Musk’s social media platform, X (Twitter), beginning on January 20th, 2025

Just opening an account won't help. You'd have to keep skeeting on Blue Sky often to bring in the social-media revolution we need.

The more comfortable you are, the less happier you'd be.
The harder things you do, the happier you'd feel.

It is their country. We are just living in it.

Ironically, I really like Scaramucci these days. His podcast, "Rest is Politics" has some of the best political commentary. @restispolitics.bsky.social

Immigration Voice is also talking as if Trump and Kamala both are more or less the same. And this is in spite of them knowing that Trump administration tried to revoke H4EAD and made it unnecessarily difficult to get straightforward renewals on H1B.

My first "skeet".

Blue Sky is a Twitter replacement, specifically designed to not be controlled by one company. (Not sure how yet, but sounds like an honest attempt).

More power to Blue Sky.
