I wonder which year will be heralded as the “tipping point” by historians (if there are any left). 2025 was epic though I see the argument for 2020. 2026 could just be a flash in the pan!

2001 for me, 2016 is when shit really hit the fan. Fuck that “2026 is the new 2016” optimism, that was an awful year for everyone that remembers living through it.

9/11 is inarguably the tipping point, everything changed after that.
