New Statesman: Alongside the icons we lost in 2016, we're mourning for a world that felt like it was changing for the better.

No More Heroes

This has been a spiteful fucker of a year. The terrorist atrocities, the refugee crisis and the fall of Western Democracy would have been enough by themselves, but really - Carrie Fisher? George Michael, on Christmas Day? That was a bit much. De trop. Unnecessary. And yet, somehow, it also seemed inevitable.

    "Let the people mourn, please. Let them make gifs and badly-photoshopped memes of remembrance and scatter them across the internet like earth on the grave of a kinder culture."

    This piece would probably be better suited in /reads, since it's not actually news.

    But in this moment, I don't care.

      Thanks for pointing that community out to me. I wasn't sure about sharing this here but felt that the retrospective tone made it seem enough like a news item.

    Sausage Fingers being elected the same year Ali dies was what settled it for me. The West is dead.
