This year has certainly been a doozy. There have been a whole lot of "WTH" moments from the Insurrection at the top of the year, the ongoing-never-ending coronavirus pandemic, historic trial convictions and acquittals, sports history, movie releases, to  and controversial pop culture events that defined the year.
