(🦋) BLUESKY NEWS: The South African Sociopath—everyone knows who I mean—has apparently just made a series of changes to Twitter that launched a new exodus. The per-second growth rate here at BlueSky is now *more than triple* what it was yesterday.
So welcome, Twitter refugees! This is *way* better.

After a long night with heavy winds (up to 80 mph gusts in Point Reyes) the skies cleared up and the elephant seals continue to jockey for position at Drakes Beach. Next storm supposed to move in tonight with more rain and heavy wind. Happy holidays. Stay safe!

Fun fact: The US pays Olympic Swimmers an annual stipend of $40k and an additional $37.5k per gold medal earned at the Olympics. Last year this fifth-place collegiate swimmer made more than Michael Phelps did at the height of his career before his endorsements, all for the low price of spewing hate.
NEW: Riley Gaines, the former collegiate swimmer turned right-wing media figure, made $474,313 last year from the conservative nonprofit org, the Leadership Institute. More striking than her total comp was the way it was structured.
