I hate fireworks. It's so stressful for pets and people with PTSD over loud bangs. We can achieve the same 'awe' with drones and without the noise. It's so dumb.

Sad isn’t it that they paid in minutes when the rest of us take all year. The limits of their payments into social security is a travesty.

Well 2025 is almost done (4 more hours left here on East Coast). In my more than 70 years this is absolutely the worst year of my life (there were some pretty terrible years when I was kid and some deaths of loved ones). I mean each and every day the Lying King would do or say something awful.

Apparently Americans need to be reminded yet again that we have never suspended elections during a war. Lincoln was reelected during the Civil War (a large part of why we have absentee voting), FDR during WW2. It's never been true, and scaring folks with untrue things makes you not a good person.

Happy New Year!
This is "Eclipsing Ben Ohau"

I can't think of a better way to end the 2025 recap than this one -
Moonset and another night ends, appropriate for the Dec 31st post.

Trump posted a photo claiming it shows a bald eagle in the United States killed by a windmill.

In reality, the image is of a dead falcon in Israel from 2017.

The J6 Pipe Bomber stated that the reason he placed the pipe bombs at the DNC & RNC because he believed that the 2020 election was stolen, & no one in Congress was taking it seriously.
Now who was the one that kept on saying that the election was stolen??

Watching my daughter grow up without evangelical religious trauma is breathtaking.

She’s not scared of a hell, or a god who would condemn her to everlasting torture, and she’s never heard of a rapture. Growing up without that fear really does something good to a young person.

Why did the United States spend trillions to win the Cold War, so that we could end up with a President that takes orders from a Russian dictator?

And yeah ya gotta wonder about the first people to use these resources. I know oil was used by indigenous peoples all over as medicine, and folks later used it as a lubricant, but the first person to light it on fire must have had regrets.

Haha yes exactly! I believe the current world powers are powerful primarily because of their access to geologic resources. A head start from colonialism was useful for some of them, but the Industrial Revolution was powered by coal and the past century has been powered by coal and oil.
