It goes without saying 2020 was a Vegas buffet of awfulness and suffering. But damn, there were a few video snippets that brought me such joy when I saw them that I made a note to round them up at the end of the year. Herewith:
The moment these two kids discovered the drum solo in the middle of “In the Air Tonight”

This breakdown of Rudy Giuliani’s COVID-spreading ways on TikTok:

And of course, this moment at an LA gas station, the night the election was finally called for Biden.
