The winter solstice approaches, Christmas is right around the corner, and yet there is still a huge stain on what would otherwise be a joyous season. Today, I'm told, marks day 300 of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. While Ukraine has managed to stall, and even push back a bit on, the Russian advance, thanks in part to the weaponry that the U.S. and Europe have poured in, the conflict still goes on. The stories of outright war crimes committed by Russian forces are staggeringly routine at this point, and they've even made not-so-veiled threats to start using nuclear weapons if we keep giving the Ukrainians better tools to defend themselves with. I won't say that I would welcome that outcome, but at least it would likely end the farce of "we're not fighting you, we're just providing all the weapons the guys fighting you are using" that has allowed this state of affairs to continue for as long as it has.
Well, enough of that for now, I guess. Here at home, not much has changed. Destiny 2 is still the game of choice for now, although I have doubts that will continue past the current season, what with the increased level of shameless monetization that's crept in. Cats and work are still all doing as hoped and expected. That electric car... well, months on, no progress, but I kind of expected that, from all I've heard of backlogs for those things.
And that... is pretty much everything of note at the moment. Happy Holidays to you and yours, and here's to better years to come, with any luck.
