31 days left in 2020, anyone want to make bets on what other stupid things will happen this year?

Already covered:
Record shattering hurricane season in the Atlantic (one town got in 2 warning cones at the same time!)
Leads to my favorite experience of the year,
evacuating from the NC Outer Banks during a
pandemic
(I called it the “coronacaine
clusterfuck”)
Record breaking wildfires (US and Aus, at the very least)
Mentioned earlier, but bears repeating: COVID
Kobe Bryant’s helo crash (that was January!)
We came close to war with Iran, repeatedly
US started aiding Taliban vs ISIL
Deaths of Chadwick Bozeman, John Lewis, Ruth Bader Ginsburg
CAROL loving BASKIN
George Floyd (and many others :( )
Election clusterfuck (senate control is still up in the air!)

What else have I missed?

Obligatory “John Oliver blows up 2020” video for everyone’s enjoyment:

Yeah, we should really talk more about pedestrians.

To be completely fair, bicyclists really aren’t the most killed non-motorists. That dubious award goes to pedestrians by a factor of six or so. Motorists should kill fewer pedestrians.

Cigarette usage is way down though thanks to a public safety campaign. Meth pretty big problem! But there’s no “shut the gently caress up about meth deaths, no one cares” poster brigade.

“Pig” is, I think, a mere insult, not actually dehumanizing.

If someone calls me a “bitch”, is that dehumanizing? I’m not a female dog.

And if I called someone a Jewish swine?

Seriously, referring to "undesirables" as various animals is as old as time, and pigs/swine in particular. It absolutely is dehumanizing and I'm baffled that we even need to discuss it. If that's what you want to do, then at least own it.
