I was going to do a few big posts like last year, ranking things like music and podcasts.... but I got wildly lazy and decided to just tweet a few lists sans lengthy context.
For posterity, here they all are! And as always, these are my personal top (aka not yours, hence likely differences) and when I say "top" I mean that in the realm of "favorite," rather than "best" (aka there will be some things ranked higher than others despite being Objectively Worse.)
Chill.
