Hope you were paying attention this year, because there is a test and it’s at Captain Quack’s. Don’t worry though: It’s only bragging rights and trivia smugness on the line. 2025 was unfortunately full of dismal news headlines, discouraging quotes from despicable politicians, and plenty of dystopian cultural moments, but hey, sometimes all you can do is laugh. So let’s turn those into a fun pub game, where we compete, reminisce, and plead for better fun facts in the year ahead. – Caroline Drew
