Welcome to 2023, but before we move forward, let’s all take one final glance back at 2022. Yes, there was much to celebrate last year, but there are several things we would like to leave permanently stowed in 2022’s overhead compartment. So at the risk of becoming pillars of salt, here’s a final look at 2022 through the rearview mirror with our…
Top 10 Things We Would Like to Leave in 2022
10. Being offended — If you’re already offended by this, we’re talking about you. If you’re not offended yet, but numbers 9 through 1 below offend you, we’re still talking about you.
9. Kanye West — No explanation needed. (How can 30 million people be following this guy?)
8. Conspiracy theories — We get it, you read. But have you ever considered WHAT you read? Take the tinfoil off your head and walk with us into 2023. Three words: Consider the source.
7. TikTok dances — Point, point, dip, dip, look the other way … and turn around and dip. We get it. We’re over it. Enough.
6. Sam Bankman-Fried — We all loved “Wolf of Wall Street,” which seemed fairly transparent as a cautionary tale — for most us.
5. Social media doctors, lawyers, economists or scientists — If you don’t have a degree in medicine, law, economics or science, don’t pretend to be a doctor, lawyer, economist or scientist online. (See No. 8: Again, consider the source.)
4. Vladimir Putin — History will not be kind.
3. Yellowstone — OK, start typing your hate mail now. And we love Tyler Sheridan, but it should not have taken you more than two seasons to figure out the show is basically “Sons of Anarchy,” but instead of motorcycles they have horses.
2. Mass shootings — It doesn’t have to be political to want shootings to stop across America. A common-sense, bipartisan effort is long overdue.
1. The McRib — It’s time to finally let go. Goodbye, McRib, you sweet, succulent mystery slab of meat dipped in tangy bbq sauce and topped with shame.
