Review 2023: A Review of 2023: January.
That Day The joke about the annual reviews on this has usually been that they're not really annual reviews as such and often had nothing at all to do with the twelve months preceding them. But after the anniversary nonsense last year (and this year and as we've discussed next), I decided that just this once I would actually do a review of the year.
Almost every day this year I've been collecting what seem to be the most significant or at least the most talked about news stories or happenings and keeping them as a list. Sometimes I've just written something else or kept a record of something so outlandish it had to be saved for posterity. If something looks especially esoteric, I've probably forgotten for a couple of days and wanted to fill a gap.
Ferris Bueller says “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” Here's 365 examples of me doing just that. It's all the stuff you either may have forgotten or didn't see in the first place. Each piece will be accompanied by one of a favourite song containing the name of the month.
Anyway, to January which began with something which probably defined the year.

25 After a long search, I bought a new bookcase from Argos to store my Doctor Who discs.
27 Video shows police brutally beating Tyre Nichols—then laughing about it. The protest were peaceful so the media moved on within a couple of days.
28 The Age decided that rather than honouring the request of a theatre to only send people of colour to a play featuring people of colour in order to help give opportunities to people of colour, not to send anyone at all because it would be "tokenism". The arts editor is a person of colour.
30 There's a general sense that January is never going to end. Brexitcast reunion.
