One more post to round off the year, and it will cover from Christmas. I hope 2022 continue the trends against this madness we've seen at the end of 2021, and may those coming year be better than last year.

Just as an aside, this month continued the growth trends I've been seeing on this issue being tackled. This latest set to me is just gravy, or the cherry on a (rather horrific) sundae.
