Hey America, you just lost $165+ billion and 474+ lives due to extreme weather in 2022. How ya feeling? Can we stop buying SUVs and trucks yet? Maybe fewer plane rides and less fracking, and more bike rides and solar panels and transmission lines instead?

I did not expect my top #music track of #y2022 to be M-A. Charpentier's Nuit from In nativitatem Domini canticum, H. 416. The rest of top 10 are less of a surprise.

Ten years ago, when the numerous national incarnations of the #PirateParty where a big thing, they sometimes ran a #Twitterwall on their #convention|s, which means to use a video beamer to project on the side wall of the room the #Twitter timeline of a #Hashtag designated to the respective convention.

Honestly, it was beyond my imagination to do that in #Y2022, even before #ElonMusk rammed the thing into the ground.

#TemporaMutantur, nos et mutamur in illis.

My pick for best film of 2022: RRR
