Jag samlar det roligaste, intressanta, läsvärda, allmänt häftiga och galnaste som det (borde ha) snackats om den senaste tiden. Årets sista länksamling bjuder på decembers viktigaste nyheter som du missade i julstressen. Eftersom det i vanlig ordning mestadels är dåliga nyheter (förvisso tillsammans med några glada) bjuder jag på en liten bonus med extra bild och film. Snart är det 2016!
