That feels like it happened at least three years ago.
It happened in February.
2.Ron DeSantis was still running for president in January
He dropped out at the end of the month.
3.Even stranger, Chris Christie was still running for president in 2024, too.
He also dropped out in January.

RIP to them.
They broke up in March.
5. Way back when, in January, there was the psychic who went on Fox News and predicted Trump would experience a "sense of loss" this year.

That wasn't true!
6.Remember that Alaska Airlines flight where the door flew off mid-flight? Yep, that happened this year in January.
I still can't believe this person's phone survived.
Found an iPhone on the side of the road... Still in airplane mode with half a battery and open to a baggage claim for #AlaskaAirlines ASA1282 Survived a 16,000 foot drop perfectly in tact!When I called it in, Zoe at @NTSB said it was the SECOND phone to be found.

8. Also, it's weird to think that the "I'm Just Ken" Oscars performance happened in March.
