December 2022 ⁂ We made it

Hey all,

Thinking of these lines from Merle Haggard's "If We Make It Through December" (by way of Over the Rhine):

If we make it through December
Everything's going to be alright, I know
It's the coldest time of winter
And I shiver when I see the falling snow

We made it through.

On to the links...

The opening of Top Gun: Maverick as a perfect pop song. Power to the Ukrainian librarians. Amazing photos from NASA's Artemis I mission to the moon. A short history of the Avatar Papyrus logo and the amazing SNL sketch that mocked it. No more very.
