So, funny thing happened on the way to making this post. Apparently, the statistics I thought I needed are now tucked behind an app paywall. Frankly, the stats the app generated weren’t good enough to be worth what the paywall asks, so it’s time to get creative.

In past years I have done the Top Ten of All Time, Top Ten of the Year, Top Ten Research Rabbit Holes, and so on. This year, my family has inspired me to do something entirely different, and maybe a little bit mad. I’ll still do ‘Top Ten’ retrospectives, but this time I’ll focus on the Top Ten Most Random, Top Ten Most Fascinating, and Top Ten Bits that were my favorite.

A bit daft? Probably, but it should be fun, so here we go. We’ll start with the Top Ten of this Year, then move on to Best of Random Bits.

Top Ten Most Popular posts of 2025

I have to admit, I didn’t see the first one coming!
