For over 50 years, the British comedy sketch 'Dinner for One' has been an integral part of New Year's Eve in Germany.
The sketch (that is largely unknown in the UK) remains so popular that it will be shown at least twenty times on TV today in the run-up to midnight.
Happy New Year & Guten Rutsch!

M81 (Bode's Galaxy) is a grand design spiral galaxy about 12 million light-years distant. The galactic nucleus contains a supermassive black hole of roughly 70 million solar masses. Image was taken over two nights (12/29 and 12/30) and represents about 16 hours total exposure. #Astrophotography

Club MTV - Don’t Stop the Music (Rihanna)
MTV 90s - Goodbye (Spice Girls)
MTV 80s - Together in Electric Dreams (Oakey and Moroder)

Not sure people are getting the real importance of the Russians fooling Trump about the Ukrainians attacking Putin's house. It was to demonstrate just how much they control his thinking--how much he is in their pocket. And it worked.
