Putin's military intensified its systematic long-range attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure, a campaign that has plunged millions of Ukrainians into darkness and cold winter for the fourth year of the invasion. These deliberate strikes target power generation facilities, transmission systems, and substations across the country, aiming to destroy the power grid and terrorize the civilian population.
Following one of the most massive Russian attacks on Odesa on December 13, social media users captured a beautiful sunrise over the Black Sea.

"And there’s #SteveBannon and #Epstein taking a selfie in a mirror, and sitting in Epstein’s townhouse. So weird how his relationship with Epstein overlapped with his time as Trump’s #WhiteHouse adviser, and continued all the way until Epstein’s arrest, with Epstein pressing Bannon on ways to rehabilitate his image. Remember when author Michael Wolff said that Epstein told him Bannon was the only person the #Trump campaign was afraid of?"

They get all sad and mournful about “where is everybody else in the universe?” and it’s hilarious because it’s impossible for me to imagine any of us ever been that way: but that’s just how isolated they are: they have no idea they aren’t alone and they have no idea what a blessing that is.

I do find the Fermi Paradox or, more generally, the lack of evidence of biology outside this solar system depressing.
Yes, statistically there *should* be other life out there, but we don't *know* that yet and I find the prospect that perhaps we (as in life of all forms on this rock) *might* be "it" sad.
Short length of time left for this solar system compared to the stretch of time to the heat death of the universe.... it just feels terrible to think of no one experiencing it.
