Hello there, valued Gist reader. Did you know there will be a meeting of good hearted souls tomorrow, Friday 1st December in the Market Bar in Fade Street, Dublin 2?

If you did not, know it now and please consider coming along and saying hello to your fellow readers, along with people from Mastodon and Bluesky. All are putting their personal deep animosities aside for the official start of the season of good cheer. You could do the same!

I'll be there, handing out badges to members of those two groups. But if you're just a Gist reader, and you let me know, I'll show you the secret reader handshake. Better than a badge any day.

I hope to see you there.
