Why we should cancel new year's eve, trying to remember my friends exist and moving back in with my parents

It’s the last visit to Lousy Digest HQ of 2025 and this season finale is packed full of questionable advice. CEO/Editor Holly tells us why people who read books are smug. Do they even read them or are they pretending?? Kingtern Rory is on his best behaviour this week after some online heat, so does a lot of agreeing with his boss. There’s all the Lousy New Year’s advice you could ever need, a demand for a dating app for friends and Rory finally says something nice about Holly when we hear what has been learned from Season 1.
