Gong Xi Fa Choi! Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year celebrations. This year is the Year of the Snake. In the Chinese zodiac, the snake was the sixth animal to cross the river. The snake is said to be enigmatic, intelligent and wise, so if that's your animal, here's to a great year!

I created a Threads account after Musk bought Twitter, not that I was very active on Twitter in the first place. It was a good place for publishing news. Threads never really replaced that so I'm happy to leave Threads behind. If Bluesky can be a replacement for FB/IG, maybe I can leave those too??
