Worldwide, the 126 media industry people killed in 2025 by early December matched the number of deaths in all of 2024, and last year was a record-setter.

Aaaand my favorite book I read this year was Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë!
I feel a bit behind reading through a lot of classics for the first time at 35, but this one really surprised me. I thought it would feel outdated and slow but that wasn’t the case for me at all. Wish I had read it sooner!
