It’s been one hella year. I mean, it still is. Even though we are close to leaving the cursed number 2020 behind, from what we’ve seen so far, the chances that it won’t go according to plan are, let’s put it this way, quite high.
With so many mixed emotions and unheard-of feelings surfing around this planet right now, Twitter has decided it’s about time to put a name on it. “2020 in one word,” the channel tweeted yesterday.

While there are 65,359,887 global coronavirus cases and 1,508,906 global fatalities, many potential COVID-19 vaccines are now being studied internationally. Check for the vaccine updates on the WHO website.

Press F (X) to Pay Respects is an action prompt featured in a quick time event from the 2014 first-person shooter Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare.

Not looking for explanations; just grousing. (And no, !&%#$@*!&, I'm not a Boomer. It's not OK.)
