As noted on Thursday’s rollicking year-end BradCast<\/i><\/a> and occasionally hopeful Green News Report<\/i><\/a>, we will be standing down this week and next<\/i> over the holidays, after a grueling year and before a likely more grueling one (or four) arrives. <\/p>\n

Barring any surprises, or itchy trigger fingers, I suspect The BRAD BLOG will be mostly silent during that period, though I may not be able to avoid a bit of Sunday Tooning<\/a> for the new year…we shall see. Also, the best social media (by far!) on which to find both Desi and me hanging out these days is Bluesky. I am @TheBradBlog<\/a>, Desi is @GreenNewsReport<\/a>!<\/p>\n

To all of those who have supported us over the past year — via reading, sharing, listening, writing, guesting on our show, calling in and, in particular, donating<\/b><\/a> so that we may continue all of our independent<\/i> work on both your public airwaves and Internets — thank you! To all who have not…well, you likely won’t see this message anyway. But, since its the holiday season, I’ll be uncharacteristically nice.<\/p>\n

Until we’re back, please enjoy the AI graphic above, made for me when I requested an image of “peace on Earth at night”, and ponder the many ways that it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Not unlike our actual Earth, made with actual intelligence!<\/p>\n

From all of us, to all<\/i> of you: Happy Holidays! May they be safe, warm and peaceful. We’ll be back soon! (If not before.) Like it or not. — Brad<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
