Doom Bingo 2026

There were too many doom-and-gloom options for discussion today. I decided to finally create my doom bingo card for this year. I'll still try to use Moody Monday to limit my doomcasts to just one day of the week. Additionally, I'll try to avoid any of the topics on the Doom Bingo card. Instead, I'll just quietly catalog the news headlines of the year. I said last year that I would post a scorecard, judging the accuracy of my predictions. I didn't. I still don't have the mental bandwidth for that much serious evaluation. I still need to do my taxes too.

This doom card practice, however, I judge to be very effective at reducing the proliferation of news about the many terrible things happening everywhere. I left out of the list any mention of Minneapolis/Minnesota federal actions. I fully intend to discuss these very local events as they happen, on whatever day of the week they happen.
