Doom Bingo 2025

[mellowtigger]

I mentioned recently that I intend to withdraw from posting so much doom-and-gloom. As I've said repeatedly in recent years, I remain hopeful about the long term prospects for humans. As I've reminded a few times since Occupy, I do believe the slogan, "The beginning is near."

I'll still use Moody Monday to limit my doomcasts to just one day of the week. Additionally, I'll try to avoid any of the topics on the Doom Bingo card. Instead, I'll just quietly catalog the news headlines of the year. Next December, I'll post a scorecard and references to justify if I "win" the Bingo for the year. Let's hope that I fail miserably at doomsaying. :)

I used a spreadsheet in LibreOffice, took a screenshot of the print preview, then trimmed the image in GIMP. Here's the very plain result. We'll see how it fares in the coming year. I expect 2025 to be a rough ride. I already want to swap out one of my bingo spots with "USA martial law", but I'm tired of monkeying with programs. I'm not a graphic designer. When things seem rough, then please go listen again to my theme song from 2022, "Brighter Day".
