I really, really am not looking forward to 2025

But, hope springs eternal! Maybe a whole bunch of people will drop dead of strokes or get massive personality transplants or something. Or maybe an asteroid will kill us all, at which point we'll paradoxically both have bigger problems and no more problems ever.

Calvin and Hobbes was no help.

I kind of feel exactly the same way? I don't really want to venture into the new year. But I've hope.

Siiiigh. I just am dreading it so much.

I'm at the 'sitting back with popcorn' stage of cope... and I'm fairly certain they'll all get what they deserve, one way or another. Point to remember is that certain people can't help running their mouths, so, sooner or later, all their chickens are all going to come home to roost... like 747 sized Pterodactyls from Hell!

Those chickens have been waiting decades to roost.

I am realizing I need to do a lot of personal work in 2025, which isn't going to be fun, but at least is things that are under my individual control.

[conuly]

Well, that's not nothing!

I loved the link for Trespassing for a Common Good. Excellent read. Thoughtful.

Maybe new and remarkable forms of dysfunction, incompetency, and in-fighting?

[conuly]

How interesting!

[elainegrey]

Slightly better than the asteroid.

[conuly]

Well, maybe.

I wonder if we could target the asteroid somehow....
