Imagine believing, and getting mad about, Somali daycare centers having contributed $35 million to the Democrats - a nonsensical, demonstrable, obvious lie.
And yet some *billionaires* believed it and then spread the lie over on Twitter.

Ok, so can we all agree now that Trump et al. started the year off with the intention of destroying science?

If this year was about getting off US tech, 2026 is the year to reassess the digital revolution — what works, what doesn’t; what to keep, and what to reject.
I’ve only just started to consider what needs to change about how I use digital technology, but I’m excited to learn more next year.
