The year 2025 has been, to put it mildly, eventful. If you’re like me, you’ve felt as if it’s pretty much impossible to keep up with things; every day brings something new, much of it baffling or enraging.
But that’s not the case for everything — and so, as with past years, we’re using this as a chance to reminisce.
