PSA: If you start When Harry Met Sally (DVD) at exactly 10:30.34 pm on New Year's Eve, your midnight will be cinematically synced with 1989's #BallDrop. Happy #NewYears / #NewYearsEve! 🍾🥂
I saw a quote, as I do every year, from @neilhimself and then remembered he had expanded on it. These are good thoughts in hard times to take forward into the new year.
December 28, 2023 “There will be more #COVID transmission in the U.S. on #NewYearsEve than during 96.4% of the pandemic.

Today, December 31, in 2999, Phillip J. Fry is defrosted in New New York City, having fallen into a cryonic tube at "Applied Cryogenics" one thousand years earlier (Futurama, "Space Pilot 3000", 1999)
Good morning everyone, TGIF!!! Today should be fun, the owner is retiring and I was invited to lunch, apparently 16 years gets you something. 🙄 Besides that it's just a countdown to 4pm. I was able to put a Lite Brite puppy and bone together this morning. 😁
Any big weekend plans anyone? I've reached the point that New Year's Eve is spent at home.
Happy New Year from Melbourne, Australia! We had a great view of the fireworks from our apartment. IMO 2023 was a good year - way better than its three immediate predecessors - and I'm looking forward to 2024 too. May it be a good year for you all.
Our new year’s hack is to celebrate New Year’s Eve on London time. We watch their fireworks via YouTube at 4pm local time and go to bed at a sensible hour.
Also...
If you start "Avengers: Infinity War" at 9:48:51pm on New Year's Eve, Thanos will snap at exactly midnight, leaving the world balanced for 2024.
(It's #HootinTootinTuesday again! Post some jokes or funny memes under this hashtag today, and bring lots of smiles to #Mastodon.)
The #BlackEyedPeas turned out very good!!
Made (separate) greens, cornbread and even #SousVide (Jasmine) rice too. 😁
The rice turned out great.
Not mushy, just perfect, aromatic. I think I will make rice from now on this way (bc you can’t overcook it, & I think my rice cooker died. Can’t find it.) #BlackMastodon#food#NewYears2024#NewYearsEve#cooking
