People tend to take the Moon for granted, but it can be a source of constant wonder.

This has always been a Bluesky-first campaign. But as of today, we will no longer be using Twitter. At all.
And I'm calling on other candidates to follow suit.

Thankfully, most of that is handled by career folks who are consummate professionals and know what they’re doing.
The embarrassments are mounting at an alarming pace, but we are still able to defend ourselves.
