The year 2016, as has been proven by science, was trash. Just a bottomless cesspool of humanity’s toxic waste wrought out over 12 months. But, like any pit full of radioactive sludge, there was some good stuff waiting for those willing to hold their noses and trudge through it to the bottom. So while it seemed like this year has been an unending barrage of bad news and worse people, there were actually a few good things to be found if you knew where to look. 113 by our count. And here they all are in one convenient place.
