I think maybe changing the Barbie clue and answer to Barbenheimer would be a cool change given how big that event was. It has a Wikipedia page for crying out loud. As a big Whovian, I'd love to see a Doctor Who clue about the 60th anniversary. Otherwise, good quiz summing up what has been a busy and chaotic year. You could argue this has been one of the least chaotic years of the decade so far.

The hamas/israel question has an overly biased wording for the events and could stand to be rephrased if included.
