This is my cat Otto. He can’t read, but he likes to keep me company while I do.

This liminal week between Christmas and New Year’s is my favorite of the year. It is slow, quiet, and delightfully easy to lose track of which day it is. It’s also when everyone shares their favorite pieces of media from the year that’s just passed, which I have done below. I admittedly feel somewhat self-conscious about sending this out—does anyone really care that much about my stray observations and random but strongly held opinions?—but I truly love reading other people’s year-end round-ups. And, as my dear friend Dan told me, people generally read a blog (or subscribe to a Substack) because they want to hear what the writer has to say! So, here are my personal favorites from 2024.
