Humping Through 2020

By -

I find the diagram below to be fascinating. It shows the various news stories as they progressed through the year. I remember like it was yesterday – – although it feels like twenty years ago – – being on an airport bus after dropping off my rental car, hearing about the killing of General Qasem Soleimani. Boy, did that news get old fast! What I find especially interesting is to take note as to how some stories persist (“absentee ballot”) whereas others burst on the scene and disappear just as quickly (“murder hornet”).
