I hope everyone is having a good Hangover Day, and since this IS the beginning of 2023, I should probably put forth the effort of doing something in the way of a comprehensive look ahead. You’ll get this instead.
Something to remember is that barring comets, most of the astrological year is cyclical annually — four of the astrological planets will pass through all the signs of the zodiac, some many times. However, three of them will not, and it’s those that can influence the overall color of the year. And naturally it’s the bad ones, so some of you will get to experience what it’s like having the skies against you more than others.
Mars (war, conflict, strife, rage) will pass through most of the sky, but not all: Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces and Aries will all be spared. There will be no major naval battles in 2023.
Jupiter (happiness, rulership) starts off in Pisces, and that’s where it will have its most beneficent effects, while it will progress through to Gemini, that’s where it’s going to go retrograde so Gemini, Taurus and Aries are all going to experience both the upsides and downsides of authority. At the end of the year, Jupiter will have only advanced one house past where it started.
Saturn (endings, time, harvest, slaughter, abortion, other generally bad things) makes even less progress than Jupiter. It starts off in Aquarius, only making it as far as Aries by midyear, at which point it goes into retrograde motion allllll the way back past where it started in Aquarius. December 31 shows it in the same sign it started in, leaving nothing but a lot of very unhappy people to show for it. 2023 is going to be a very bad year as far as famines and related shortages/deprivations go. And while it may seem obvious that the poor will be hit hardest by this, there is a class difference implied by this year’s hunger signs pointing right at those on the bottom of the consumption ladder (water, fish, sheep).
So in summary:
2023 will be a lesser year — Government worse than usual, but not as bad as it could be. No major naval battles, but all sorts of other wars will happen, with a non-zero change of chemical weapons. World economy increases but not by much, famine and deprivation over most of the world. Nothing major in the arts.
The cards also aren’t thinking too highly of the incoming year.

That’s for all year, not just this week, right? Right?? 😃
I’m Aquarius. The best sign, right?
Also.

I’ll settle for: Will he be gone once and for all?
Like Americans, the best to hope for right now is ignoring the dictates of the central government. Concentrate on local control. Keep the feds out and dare them to do anything about it.

Fricking love Smith. She’s De Santis x2.
She’s driving the lunatics mad.
Considering that most of the lunatics still believe in the failed and irrelevant Laurentian Consensus, that’s not hard to do.
“The BNA Act? That old thing? Peter Hogg doesn’t think it’s important, so why should we?”
Laurentian what?
“To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the Laurentian of the women…”
Dammit. The other Laurentian Consensus!
The Laurentian Consensus reminds me of the postwar consensus south of the border. With similar lamenting by those who were either the beneficiaries or who thought surface appearances are all that matters.
Sound and wise advice.
I’m rooting for your first choice.
So I go that goin’ for me…
Sounds boring, but I could use some of that stuff.

I’d rather see him gored and tossed into the air like Raggedy Andy by a buffalo, but that’s just me.
For friends, those dogs sure do fight a lot.
I’ve never paid much attention to the Zodiac stuff, except when he was killin’ folks in CA. I don’t know my sign nor do I care but I do hope everyone’s New Year will be healthy and happy. We need a little rain in our lives, to make us grow stronger. Sun always shines afterwards, though it may take a little time.

The Constitution when it’s convenient.
Every word Ben Cardin says is hate speech, including “and” and “the”.
Cardin has spent his entire career being a trend-chasing piece of shit. This is nothing new.
Joe Biden waves hello.

Huh.
Happy New Year everyone!
Happy 2023, DEG!
Happy New Year! I just woke up.
Now that’s how you make 2023 your bitch!
I woke up around 5:00 AM.
It was probably still 2022 in Hawaii then.
I did wake at 6:00 AM, made a grocery shopping list, then decided it was better to continue slumbering.

Wishful thinking. Those Euroweenies are much more sophisticated and wise than we are.

Huzah! Reading the morning links it’s pretty easy to get discouraged on the trajectory our fellow countrymen and fearless leaders seems to be insisting we take. Despite all that, 2022 was the best year of my life. In the last year I switched to an infinitely better position at work and rarely take stress from the office home anymore, I got engaged and then married to the best woman I’ve ever known. I moved to a rural property that turned out to be a wonderful lifestyle change with barely any additional expense and now am headed out on a new life adventure with my wife in June that will take us out of the country for a while.
Despite all the bullshit, life is good, God is good. I’m so thankful for what I have.
I moved to a rural property that turned out to be a wonderful lifestyle change.
Congrats. This is my goal as well.
It’s temporary but it’s been an awesome change and hopefully a preview of what our lives will look like in 4-5 years…… providing working class people can still afford even a few acres by then.
About to make an offer on a semi-rural* property. Just waiting for the local cable company to do an inspection to confirm that high-speed internet is available so can work there.
*My wife considers it to be the middle-of-nowhere, I think it’s barely far enough from the crowds.
Semi-rural? How far is the nearest refreshment stand? Gravel road?
Congratulations to both of you! I can see my neighbor so not really rural, but finally got fiber a year ago. Still not used to having it at home.
So you’re say High School Never Ends.
Russ Tamblin replaces Chance the President as the national spirit animal.
Your 2022 is a fine thing.
Don’t take the black pill. Just take it out of your pocket and look at it every once and a while.
I’m glad you had a great year Bob. Here’s hoping it rubs off on all of us.
At what point are the cuntes in charge committing acts of war?

When we end up with a smoking crater in this country – preferably inside the Beltway of DC.
Long ago. The western media can’t begin to understand that all likely Putin successors / replacements would be far more hostile and less patient towards the west.
I’m sort of surprised there haven’t been unexplained explosions at the NATO training camps in Poland or Germany.
When we carryout the attacks. In the meantime, Putin can sit on a broken bottle.
Despite all that, 2022 was the best year of my life.
Awesome!
Okay, the dog videos don’t work for me. They don’t preview as they normally do; just a big white space with a “play” control. Anyone else, Bueller, anyone?
Upon further testing this only happens in Windows/Firefox. Windows/Edge the videos preview and play properly.

It makes my Firsting dick hard. GOOD FUCKING WORK

Happy New Year, you wonderful nuts.
