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. Over the next two weeks, we’ll be publishing stories from our reporters who cover the most important or weird trends in politics, tech, and culture. We’ll also have roundups to help you navigate 2025’s many, many releases across gaming platforms and streaming services. Perfect for those in-between-holidays days.
So before we all head into 2026, take a moment to look back on the things you’ve forgotten — or catch up on those you missed altogether.
