House rule in effect: our Bombay Cat House Panther claims every new delivery box as his domain. 📦🐈‍⬛ ONE box at a time though! We buy fancy new toys, but the box wins every time. He’ll humor us with the toy… until he’s tired and returns to his box throne. #Caturday #BlackCats #CatLogic #CatsOfBluesky

The rule in our house: the moment I stand up, the stool belongs to the House Panther. 🐈‍⬛ One jump, one stare, and the message is clear — “Thank you for warming my seat.” #Caturday

Solar Cycle 25 is making HF propagation rough today. A CME from Jan 8 hit the ACE spacecraft at 19:42 UTC (Jan 10). A G1 geomagnetic storm is underway, with a chance of G2 in the next 24 hours. Expect noisy bands. www.solarham.com

I was watching a documentary about Hollywood movies made in the the 1970’s and how a lot of the movies mirrored real life actual events of the time. Movies like “All the Presidents Men” with Robert Redford. I know there are members on Bluesky with serious contacts in Hollywood and the online large streaming platforms. My question is why hasn’t anyone made a movie or miniseries chronicling the life and times of President Donald J. Trump and his connections and time with Jeffrey Epstein as well as Epstein’s cohorts involving their activities? I think it would really be powerful that would lead to his removal from office!

Watching docs on 1970s Hollywood—films like All the President’s Men mirrored real events. With so many Bluesky folks tied to Hollywood/streamers, why no serious film or miniseries examining Trump’s era and the Epstein case?

🟥START INTELLIGENCE REPORT FOR EYES ONLY🟥 Greetings Agent, Christmas Eve 2025 is here! If you have little ones or grandchildren then they already know who is on the way on Wednesday night… Santa!🎅. 🇺🇸So, to assist you in bringing in Christmas Eve you can track Santa LIVE by way of the Internet through a family friendly program by the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) to track Santa on December 24th around the world. NORAD volunteers also operated a phone line to help families track Santa. The number is (877) HI-NORAD or 877-446-6723. NORAD has been offering Santa tracking services in some capacity since 1958. Here is the link: https://www.noradsanta.org ▪️Google Santa Tracker! Google operates a Santa tracker at santatracker.google.com on Dec. 24 and 25. Throughout December and the rest of the year, Google's Santa tracker website is full of online holiday games and educational activities for kids of various ages. Google has tracked Santa’s worldwide journey on Christmas Eve since 2004. They have calculated that Santa's Christmas Eve journey takes 25 hours. "He makes his first stop just after 10 p.m. local time in far eastern Russia, when it’s 5 a.m. in New York and 11 a.m. in Paris," Google says. 🎅📡 Also, if you have a family member who is an Amateur Radio operator (Ham Radio), and they have a HF radio then you can have your little ones - actually TALK - to Santa at the North Pole by way of two-way radio starting at 7:00PM Central Time. Here is the Santa Net link: https://www.cqsanta.com 🛜 If you do not have access to a Ham Radio you can still tune in and listen to Santa talk LIVE to children from around the United States and sometimes the world via a live audio feed on YouTube. Here is the Santa Net Live Audio link: https://www.cqsanta.com/live-stream Have a wonderful Merry Christmas Eve! 🟥END - INTELLIGENCE FOR REPORT FOR EYES ONLY -30- 🟥

Merry Christmas Eve🎅! Locate Santa, and Talk to Santa on his Christmas Eve 2025 tour around the world! You may know someone who has little ones or grandchildren that you can share this report with who will definitely appreciate this intelligence. #LinksInPicALT #NORADTracksSanta #SantaNet #HamRadio

Elsa, our munchkin cat, has claimed her spot under the Christmas tree 🎄🐾—patiently waiting for the gifts to arrive. Clearly, she’s decided they’re all hers anyway.

Do you know anyone named Carol who watches Plur1bus on Apple TV? I was watching the scrolling Roku screensaver on my TV—that’s famous for Easter eggs referencing classic and current TV shows and movies. Look at these screenshots. “Hello, Carol” is on the theater marquee!

This is Burr, our 13-year-old Maine Coon, chilling under the Christmas tree tonight 🎄🐾. It’s her favorite spot in the house, and she absolutely loves Christmas—watching and inspecting everything while waiting for the presents to appear under the tree! #MaineCoon #SeniorCat #CatLife #Caturday #CatsofBluesky #ChristmasCat

House Panther reporting for duty! Our Bombay beauty 🐈‍⬛. He insists every new delivery must be inspected… especially Christmas gift boxes. Taking a break on top of new boxes. Nothing gets past the Chief Feline Inspector! 🐾📦🎄 #BombayCat #CatInspector #FelineLife #ChristmasBoxes #CatsofBluesky

We’ve been caring for four feral cats shared with a neighbor. All are fixed, Kitten Boots has really taken to people. Today, with no treats, she let me pick her up twice and even tried to come inside. She clearly wants to be domesticated, so we’re taking it slow. #FriendlyFeral #CatsofBluesky

🚨 Something big is happening online — major internet services are currently down or are going down across the web. Outages spreading fast with no clear cause yet. Stay alert, stay connected (if you can). 🌐⚠️ Are you experiencing this too? #InternetOutage #CyberAlert #TechNews #Breaking #WebDown

The truth is finally surfacing! First, a Trump birthday card—now a Prince Andrew photo and email in the U.K. Someone’s clearly dropping evidence to trusted journalists. Time to swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva, End the Shutdown, and release the Epstein files. #TruthMatters #EpsteinFiles

I wish. She’s just a giant cat, who’s getting older. Calico cat with a hairdresser.

Burr, our 13-year-old Maine Coon, is chilling on my lap this morning — enjoying some quiet time and showing off her adorable lion cut 🦁 Her long fur was getting a bit too much for her to manage, but she’s looking regal as ever! #MaineCoon #SeniorCat #LionCut #CatLife #Caturday #CatsofBluesky #LapCat

Crazy! My YL knows I haven’t been on radio much. I told her what’s happening with Solar Cycle 25 🤔. I just took a few screenshots of my area forecast around 6:05PM today, Wednesday, 01 Oct 2025. Solar sites are saying we will have periods of Moderate (G2) storming persist on Wednesday. 73, AB4GH

Thank you 😊

Solar Cycle 25 has been crazy this year—solar storms, flares, and brutal HF propagation. Again today I turned on my gear (old shack photo) to find a noise floor from S2-S6. Hope things calm down! 73!🌞 📡 #HamRadio #HFConditions #SolarCycle25 #SpaceWeather #AmateurRadio #RadioNoise #GeomagneticStorm

I have a question—or maybe I should ask: has anyone else had this experience? My question wouldn’t fit in 300 characters, so I attached my thoughts as an image 🙂. #Streaming #ClassicMovies #TVShows #Netflix #AmazonPrimeVideo #AppleTV #Subscriptions #PayMore #NotIncluded #RotatingContent #WhatGives

Photo of Burr, our 13-year-old Maine Coon, joined me on the patio to enjoy some sunshine! She’s an indoor cat but loves tagging along when I sit outside. Rocking her new lion cut—it keeps her comfy and stylish to help her keep up with her long coat,

Listening on ham radio: Learned ex-pats living in Albania had a minute end of war celebration! Trump told journalists he stopped a war between Azerbaijan and “Albania”. Later he inserted a different country into Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict, saying he prevented a war between Armenia and Cambodia.

Walmart 18 months NY Strip Steak: $30.23 (3/24/23) → $42.15 (9/18/25) Families are hurting 😢. Walter Cronkite said “Democracy isn’t a spectator sport”. Plato offered a cautionary note, “One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors”.

This is House Panther, our Bombay cat 🐾 He loves napping on the couch behind my head in the afternoon, though he wasn’t thrilled when I snapped this picture. That look says, “Okay, picture time is over!” #CatsOfBluesky #BombayCat #CatNap

With all the Sun’s activity in Solar Cycle 25, I sure hope we don’t see anything like another Carrington Event in September 1859 🌞

That’s sooo true at my home too🐾🐈‍⬛

Good morning 🌞 🐈‍⬛

Just found out about the Museum of Radio & Technology in Huntington, WV—never knew it was there! 📻 They’ve got restored vintage ham gear & more. Definitely on my list to visit. #HamRadio #RadioHistory #WV #AmateurRadio www.mrtwv.org

House Panther met his plush doppelgänger—and he’s not amused. Our sleek Bombay black cat, guardian of his domain, can’t figure out why the “intruder” won’t respond. Watching him circle and inspect his silent rival was pure comedy.

Happy Caturday! 🐾😂

Solar Cycle 25’s been a wild ride—flares, storms, and punishing HF conditions. Fired up the rig tonight (old shack pic) and the noise floor was sky-high. Here’s hoping the bands calm down soon! 🌞📡 #HamRadio #HFConditions #SolarCycle25 #SpaceWeather #AmateurRadio #RadioNoise #GeomagneticStorm
