2025 was mostly garbage, but there were some good moments.
One of my favorites was when a family of beavers built a dam in just a few days, saving the Czech Republic 30 million Czech koruna (US$1.2 million) for a wetland restoration project the government had been planning for 7 years. 🦫 🌿

These eager beavers saved the Czech government $1.2 million
After plans stalled for a new dam in the Czech Republic, eight beavers saved the day seemingly overnight. “At this point, nothing that beavers do surprises me.”

HISTORY LESSON 1/5
Vladimir Putin rose to power on terror inflicted on his own people. The evidence strongly suggests the 1999 apartment bombings—used to justify the Second Chechen War and launch his presidency—were an FSB operation.

The Epstein & Maxwell proceedings aren't just a legal failure; they’re a moral collapse. By shielding sick depravity, the elite have traded their authority for silence, proving the law is no longer a shield for the innocent but a veil for the powerful. Liars continue to lie and accomplices hide.
