Best Posts of 2025 (Part 2 of 10)
As I do at the end of every calendar year, I have gathered together what I consider the very best posts of the thousands that have been penned this year. There are so many, I’ve broken the list into ten parts, with one to be published each day.
Here are today’s:
- Hot New Boondoggle – the government’s massive bet on AI
- Divine Justice – the DeepSeek bomb drops
- Great Expectations and Bitcoin – Crypto bros are clinically insane
- Severed – philosophical musings from the television series
- Love Story – the most personal post ever
