I can think of at least one good thing that's... Well, I'll just let Charlie Kirk himself explain it:
AHAHAHAHAHAHAAAHAHAAAAAAAAAAA 
How about you all? Anything good to note? Can really be anything, either personal or in the news. Let's hear it!
Silksong
The world installed more than 700 gigawatts of solar capacity in 2025.
On the flip side. Utility companies charged more, even with these renewable energy sources.
I adopted a kitty
His name is Alfredo
Love your cat!
I kidnapped two strays, they are bonded and absolutely love each other. Its the closest I've ever seen animals be with each other. The short hair one is deaf, the long hair is polydactyl

MTG resigned
Gonna be looking real silly to celebrate this when she becomes empress.
I'm judging my good things list on excitement that I felt in the moment.
MTG resigned because Trump revoked his endorsements of her, probably because of Epstein stuff. I don't think MTG will make a come back unless there's a right wing anti-Trump movement. She basically has as much motion as the Never Trump Republicans of the 2015 era. I bet she becomes a podcaster.
I want to believe that she learned that Trump is pedophile through speaking with the Epstein victims.
Iran bombed tel aviv. The rate of genocide has finally decreased. Flotillas have gotten closer than ever to reaching Gaza and israel will never be rehabilitated. Their endless drive for slaughter will eventually lead to collapse
Bolsonaro in the lulag
Peace in Ukraine is maybe close
China continues to make impressive developments that put it toe-to-toe with anything the west is doing
AES continues to integrate. It has survived long enough that an ECOWAS invasion is unlikely
idk I've made a good number of friends
Iran bombed tel aviv.
True Promise III was the closest thing to divine punishment I've ever seen

Chat can I get a LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOO

My baby learned to walk :3
I walk every day and no one congratulates me, and I'm probably doing it better!
Yay congrats!! Here’s to baby proofing your house. And mine soon probably lol.
Henry Kissinger was dead the entire year, not one instant was he alive at all
I went to China!
Did you have a wonderful time?
I'm still there (studying), and it is indeed pretty great here!
That was my experience as well. Saw Shanghai, Qingdao and Shenzhen this year.
The US got absolutely bodied in the tariff war it started against China
While there was some Dick Cheney for much of the year it cleared up in time for Christmas.
I got a dog and he's my bestest buddy and I love him so much
I went to the third dimension.
Eeek! No it's scary, take me back to 2D world 
This has been one of the hardest years of my life and yet somehow I've managed to get a lot of soul searching and self crit done.
Well I was going to ask "counting or not counting gang violence?" But you beat me to it
A game store opened like 15 minutes away from where I live and I've started making some friends there.
Zohran Mamdani won.
I know I know, he’s a succdem and my guard is still up he’ll say “SIKE!” just like Obama, but maybe I’ll get pleasantly surprised and see a success story in a part of the country that doesn’t want people like me dead. That is the bar now. Don’t legalize discrimination against minorities and also baseline competence.
Cuomo eating shit was a good thing regardless of what anyone thinks of Zohran
My take is that if nothing else, Mamdani's victory showed that there's a demand for left-wing politics and not everyone in the US has had their brains turned to goo by propaganda. We often act like the mayonese-burgerlandic brainpan is fundamentally incompatible with socialist ideas and it's just nice to see that a lot of people in the US do actually want the same things we want.
It was worth it for the sole reason of forcing everybody from the shittiest Democrats to Donald Trump himself to endorse Cuomo. I feel like we didn't stop and enjoy just how fucking washed Trump was going up there asking people to vote for Cuomo. Fucking pathetic. 
I got a tattoo that says
Do you know how many mass shooters there have been in America over the last 10 years? Counting or not counting gang violence?
With a little bang beside it. 
There was a questionnaire on The Guardian asking readers what the best news of 2025 was. Really the only positive thing I could think of at that moment was Kirk, so I wrote them a nice paragraph about it, how it wasn't exactly "happy" news but it showed that fascism can and needs to be confronted and the popular response showed people are beginning to accept that. I doubt they will mention it in their recap of positive 2025 news but I hope a lot of people responded with that. Media like The Guardian are eternally civility-lib and there are many racists in the west but I really believe the average westerner actually wants nazis to be shot at this point.
Started to read theory & finally found the cause of my illness which I've been dealing with for the better part of a decade. Haven't really cured myself yet, but all in all 2025 may actually be the turning point in my life.
I'm getting closer to running an 8 minute mile. Not a very ambitious goal but it feels nice to do something outside.
China continues to knock it out of the park and help the global south out tremendously, so that's good. I too can't think of anything good from the west, lol, lmao.
I made a nice stew today
i got a lot better at cooking a lot of things

I went to Louyang and Kaifeng, which were neat. Henan food portions are very large, the Cantos could never compete.
