since a few years ago, the same joke comes back every year.
Every year, I relate more and more to it.

It seems to me that when we relate to this meme we posit ourselves as mere bystanders of our own fate, devoid of agency.
Prisoners of our own faulty concepts of human nature.

@oldrawgabbit except it feels like we're all doing it alone
Gus Posey @oldrawgabbit I can't believe they're opening it, frankly.

@oldrawgabbit Remember: Don't open the door to 2025 without wearing a mask protecting you against the contagious stench of corruption & criminality.

Stay safe!

All the best for 2025 for anyone reading it. Whether it’s going to be the worst or not is partially what we make out of it or not.

@oldrawgabbit unfortunately, it is the same cartoon at least since 2017 and it becomes grimmer every year.
