My favorite thing about this year is that everytime we thought we’d reached rock bottom 2024 was like “psych!” and open a trap door to reveal rock bottom has a basement.

Kinda wild how everyone can suddenly pronounce Luigi Mangione’s name but still can’t correctly address the sitting Vice President.
