It’s bad enough being sick but I really don’t need to be reminded from my iPhone that there’s been a change in my steps the last week. There should be an option somewhere in health settings, I’m sick leave me alone. 😷

The Winter Solstice occurs Sunday morning, at 10:03 AM ET (9:03 AM CT| 8:03 AM MT | 7:03 AM PT).
This will be the day we get the least amount of daylight and the longest night. The Sun takes its lowest path across the sky and then after this, our daylight slowly starts coming back starting Monday! 🌤️

Justice Brandeis would weep if he saw what the Supreme Court has become now. It’s unrecognizable as a court of law.
As Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis stated in 1933; “We can have democracy in this country or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of the few, but we cannot have both.”
Today, at a time of unprecedented income & wealth inequality, his words ring truer than ever.

As we head into 2026 with midterms around the corner I hope politicians are paying attention to this. Americans don’t want more data centers that they have to pay for and increase their electric bill even more.
