A week ago it was just another day with tinsel. Now just another day with fireworks.

Mainly a response to making days special. Since every second the sun starts an orbit around the sun, it makes little sense to celebrate the day the (Eurocentric) calendar runs out. We celebrate things we cannot control. And fail to control things we could be celebrating: A day of peace for example; A day when everybody has a proper meal; a day when we’re all “those of goodwill.”

Happy Chinese New Year everyone! This is the Year Of The Rabbit - run rabbit run. Giraffes are strictly vegetarian, so this chase is just for fun!

We don’t, and here’s why (but #HappyNew Year, anyway!)

How common is the 'Common Era?' How A.D. and C.E. took over counting years

Today most societies take the A.D. time system for granted. That wasn’t always the case.

Oh, alas! Our Great Friends and NYE dinner guests just called to say they’ve tested positive for COVID. Good news—it’s mild. Bad news—no Doctor Who Mad Libs or chocolate mint Bundt cake tonight. Hoping this is 2022’s last salvo. #HappyNew Year!
