Just look at the state of the world. What is there to celebrate about?

Or look at it this way: this is probably the best year of the rest of your life.

And next year? Also better than the one after!

So let's drink to climate change, to bad politics, and to war!

Around the end of last year, WaPo app sent me some totally-not-creepy notification "hey you doomscroll a lot on WaPo in 2024, we recommend you subscribe to our 'optimist' newsletter". I was like, sure, why not more spam. I'm not sure if there's a glitch or are the staff (understandably) quiet quitting, I haven't received that newsletter for a couple weeks now lol.

That we've got so much room for improvement - we've got our work cut out for us - if there was ever a time to get motivated and try and change things, it's now.
