Nope I don't want to watch it... this has not only been a horrible year for me personally, but the UK as a whole, has suffered badly too.... so no, I don't need reminding...

One thing that is beautiful about the internet, and now ai, is that I get to pick what to review for the year, not a news corporation. And I can skip commercials.

The news? The big news (and my thoughts about it)?? How I tend to feel...

I'm with you (and others), @seadoug: That is a hard NO for me.

Not me. Had enough tragic events and people's complaints for now.

I started looking at a photo retrospective of 2025 and made it about 1/4 of the way through before I wanted to puke.

No interest in the year in review, celebrity deaths, etc…

Nope. I'm so sick of how no matter who'd be compiling the retrospective, it would have their own slant. There's so much garbage/lies/AI created ridiculousness posing as news that I just block it out of my head and research on my own when I need to find something out. The most annoying part is that "the creators" of these things think people are so stupid that they'll just buy it all as truth.

I hope all New Year's Eve events across the globe are safe. I see a number of cities have called off their celebrations: List of cities canceling New Year's Eve celebrations

No, because I lost two people that I love very much so personally it’s been a very bad year. Unfortunately, our country has suffered greatly this year and I don’t see things getting any better so I certainly don’t want to be reminded of this year.

Oh please don't say that..
Watch gloom and doom all over again ….nah thanks ….it bad enough about the sad event of the recent Bondi massacre that's still several times a day …no it should not be forgotten …nor any other tragic world events
I may watch one tiny bit about a Sydney doctor who has a brain tumour , He was given a very short time to live after being told he had the tumour … ( about 2 years ago )
he’s been a volunteer Guinea pig having all sorts of treatment done in the hope it will save another life in the future
long after he’s left us …he’s such a nice man with a wife and teen age children
if he’s still alive in Jan ( Australia Day ) he should be awarded Australian of the year for his contribution of testing future cancer treatments ,
copied this bit
The 57-year-old was first diagnosed with the aggressive tumour in 2023, a cruel twist after spending his career dedicated to helping others survive their own cancer battles.
He developed the brain tumour after having melanoma
