TL;DR version: I have lately been a less-than-lovely human. Here is why.

It’s not quite over, but close enough. Enough to stick a premature stake in 2016 and obituarize the vicious bastard as a pureblood horribilis.
Race and gender atrocities, celebrities dropping like dominoes, wars a-warring, migrations a-miserying, hatred on the ballot. In the echo-chamber of friends and networks I choose as my keyhole on the universe, 2016’s been pre-marked for history as a temporal dumpster fire drenched in the walrus blubber of bloviating political villainy, waterboarded directly into our souls by slinking hysteria-vampires with press badges. Ding dong the witch is dead and all that jazz.
Not that there weren’t moments of delight. Unforgettable adventures, joyous weddings, personal successes. Adjust the lens even slightly and the year might be remembered as a wonderland with a few tolerably malignant shadows, not – as I’m afraid see it – a dead sea dotted with islands.
