So long, farewell 2019. To celebrate, we rounded up everything we Skimm’d this year – from the biggest news stories to the buzziest articles. Plus a behind-the-scenes look at the New Year’s Eve ball drop.
It's been a year. Our final newsletter of 2019 takes a walk down memory lane.
This past year wasn’t all about Lizzo and Baby Yoda. Here are the most popular topics we broke down in our Guides.
Every Monday through Thursday, we scour the internet to send you a buzzy article to read during your lunch break, when your meeting is going too long, or for your dinner convo with friends. These were the most popular 5 Min Reads of the year.
Psst…if you’re missing out on our 5 Min Read notifications, turn them on in your settings.
Want a longer read to curl up with? We rounded up some of the best books of 2019 that you may have missed.

✷ The history of the Times Square ball
✷ How the ball gets dressed up for the biggest party of the year
✷ A look at the lessons the ball can teach us
Nice knowing you, 2019. Time for 2020 and the stories we’ll Skimm next year: the presidential election, impeachment, Brexit, the Olympics, climate change, the streaming services war, AI, awards season, and many more.

Climate change news can be hard to keep up with. And there’s been a lot of it lately. So we asked our app users to text us their biggest questions this week. We put together an exclusive Skimm with the answers. Here’s a preview:
President Trump is now the only sitting US president to meet with a North Korean leader not just once, but twice.
The Supreme Court is ready to take on more cases for its 2019-2020 term. But the 2020 election has led to calls for reform on the bench.
