Crazy Eddie's Motie News earned 278,360 page views and 19 comments on 31 posts during the 31 days of August 2025. The page view goal for August 2025 was 26,000, 26,009 if I strictly followed 839 page views per day. It passed both goals at ~10:10 P.M. EDT July 31, 2025, the earliest ever thanks to my Vietnamese readers.

( Most read, commented on, shared, and liked posts of Crazy Eddie's Motie News last month behind the cut. )

The preview image for Video tributes to George Zingali for his birthday on World AIDS Day is part of the preview image for this video.

If this image actually listed the awards, I might have included it in 'The Queen's Gambit' leads limited series at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards, but can it beat 'Mare of Easttown' and 'WandaVision' on the final night?.

I wrote 2020 tied with 2016 for warmest year on record, NASA reports in response to a tweet by Greta Thunberg.

This news is neither abstract, far into the future, irrelevant nor hard to understand - which are the usual excuses for not covering the climate emergency.
And yet it's not dominating the news. In fact it barely gets a mention. This is an active choice that sends a clear signal. https://t.co/chZvicsZYo

I then tweeted the link as a response to her tweet. Beginning the next day, this happened to the page views of Time names Greta Thunberg Person of the Year for 2019, which I linked to in the post I tweeted.

During the previous three weeks, it had a grand total of 2 page views, so something changed.

That's not all. Here's a map showing where the readers for Crazy Eddie's Motie News as a whole were from during the same week.

Damn. The blog has had 9.47K page views from Sweden in its entire 10-year history, currently ranking it 11th overall, 12th if one counts "Unknown Region." That means that it had 2.12K page views before this week, which wouldn't have earned it a place in the top 20, as the current holders of that spot, South Korea and Turkmenistan, have 3.25K page views each during the past decade. Anyway, this could be a coincidence, but I doubt it.

On Twitter last night, I responded to a tweet quoting King George III singing "They will tear each other to pieces, Jesus Christ this will be fun, Da da da dat da dat da da da dai ya da..." with "Needs the music for full effect."


After only 10 hours, it already has more than 5,000 impressions and 100 interactions. The tweet I featured yesterday has a little over 3,000 impressions and 99 interactions. Sic transit gloria mundi.

I missed blogging here yesterday. That's because, during the time I would have been posting a journal entry, I was in a couple of ops with the squad my wife leads on SWTOR. At the end of the second, I got one of my characters to level 70. I've been playing SWTOR for eight years now, but never got one of my characters that high. That's because my main goal has been to play all eight class stories to completion. Right now, I have seven completed and I'm about to land the last character on Corellia, the last planet in the sequence. I'll probably be done with the my main goal in a week.

In Link round-up for 10 February 2019, Infidel 753 shared these three links from Crazy Eddie's Motie News:

PBS Eons on Pygmy Mammoths
2018 officially the fourth warmest year on record
Colbert, Noah, Meyers, and Bee take on the State of the Union Address

Three consecutive days of share-worthy posts. I'm pleased.

I was so busy yesterday that I didn't realize until now that I had neglected to post here yesterday. If I had, I would have including the following link to Crazy Eddie's Motie News that included some bragging about my powers of prognostication: Stocks and oil crash plus a driving update for Pearl. In it, I included the following.

IThe Dow closed at 22,445.37. That's at the top of the range I predicted it would fall to in The tax bill and the U.S. economy in 2018 and beyond.

I expect the Dow Jones Industrials to get above 25,000, struggle to break 26,000, then sink down to between 20,000 and 22,500 over the next couple of years.

...
Now I can collect on the Dow falling to between 20,000 and 22,500 by the end of 2020 a year early.

As for an actual Festivus post at Crazy Eddie's Motie News, I have one of those, too: Feats of animal strength for a Blue Norther on Festivus. Happy Festivus and happy Norther — a double celebration of fake holidays, a "Blue Norther on Festivus!"

Before Thanksgiving, I found out one of my students is an actress in the Nain Rouge movie, so I showed her the blog post I wrote about it. The day before yesterday, she asked to take a screenshot of the post to show the director. Of course, I said yes, so she did and texted it to the director. He saw it and responded "OMG, LOL, cute!" That made my evening.
