I'm not going to avoid politics when I have something to say, but I recognize others might need to step away for their mental health. I respect that and have an alternative.

Whelp, the first month of 2025 has already come and gone. The big thing that happened this month is my wife an I adopted a dog. It's certainly helped distract me from the rest of what's going on in the world.

Most of the TV I watched this year was with my wife, though I managed to watch a few of the ones on my list as well.
