Probably Top 10 movies would have been more gooder of a title, but seeing how there's no mention of the passing decade, I thought I might as well create one, and also expand it beyond cinema. If there is one - well shit.
While at cinema though, I saw very few movies this decade, even as the youngster I am. For the obvious nominee or even winner, Joker was visually appeal"ing, but given what we know of the Joker's character, he was rather low in wit this time around. In a way that makes him more relatable for the majority, but not the glorious master troll he used to be.
For other things, I guess the obvious would be:
- Elon D. Musk, our Earthly Pirate King, ispiraton of just about everyone, (likely excluding the far left vagabonds).
- The rise of Pew D. Pie, The King of the only worthwhile big website on The Internet. Was awfully fun to watch, especially during the brilliantly marketed T-series meme. Kinda sad, that it got so much hype that even rando normie terrorists started to shout his word, because that gave enough societal pressure to kill the glorious meme.
- Nate Higgs was born and born to rule the world.
Adios.

I'm mildly concerned that a list of top 'STUFF' contains three people in it, but I guess given the names mentioned, two of them really aren't doing a good job of being, you know, people. I hope Pew D. Pie suffers a massive coronary one of these days from playing a Frictional game, and someone should issue Elon a social media gag order. Or just gag him, I don't care. He may be doing cool and interesting things, but he's also a roving douchemobile.
Also, who is this ten year old Nate Higgs that was born and why is he a person of the decade.

The Joker would be my favorite movie of the 10s. Trump's rise to Power would be the biggest world news bit.
The large rise in political correctness and cancel culture would be another.

Ah yes, the bullshit narrative largely supported by anecdotes that usually fall apart by the slightest amount of scrutiny.

To be honest, I'm not sure whether a lot of highlights actually started from the 2000s or 2010s, there's so little to distinguish the two decades.
I'm looking at the list of movies of the decade, and all of the usual suspects are in some way greatly flawed.
The ones I liked are going to be marginal indies and art pieces, so don't really qualify as "top stuff".
But anyway here's my list (in alphabetical order): Coherence, Computer Chess, Death of Stalin, Embrace of the Serpent, Ida, Kumiko the Treasure Hunter, Mustang, Norte the End of History, Spotlight, Moon, Victoria, and The Witch.
And for TV shows, let's see: Atlanta, Better Call Saul, Black Mirror, Black Sails, The Book of Negroes, Chernobyl, Cobra Kai, Enlightened, Fargo S1, Game of Thrones (Seasons 1-5), Genius, The Handmaid's Tale, Hatfields & McCoys, Halt and Catch Fire, Twin Peaks the Return, Mad Men, Man in the High Castle, Narcos, Russian Doll, Silicon Valley, Stranger Things, True Detective S1, Walking Dead S1-S6, Westworld S1.
My list of games are in (
https://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=150223&p=2434284&viewfull=1#post2434284) another thread.
And personalities & world events ... is that really something we're ranking now?

Elon Musk is a great SALESMAN, not a genius engineer. His businesses are based on selling dreams while exploiting corporate welfare.
PDP I tried watching once out of curiousity and found him extremely annoying.
TV is worth calling out as a positive because early-mid 2010's television drama had a resurgence that was great while it's lasted. Lately offerings have been week although there's some potential from Mandalorian and (less likely but possible) Witcher.
If we're talking just physical "stuff"...I don't know how to break this down into individual things but my favorite trend is that demand has driven better availability of quality food. It's no longer difficult to find organic produce or non-factory farmed meat, even if they can be pricey.
The other thing that has exploded this decade is offline gaming. Both RPGs like Pathfinder/D&D and board games like Zombicide, Gloomhaven, etc. have experienced over 20x growth and that form of entertainment is in a golden age. There's so much good shit there that "top 10" for that category alone is hard to pick.

Except that all the handwringing about the snowflake generation of authoritarian SJW leftists has been shown to be just that, a narrative without any substance to it.

My opinion of Elon Musk?
Smart guy. Makes cool stuff. Doesn't know when to shut the fuck up.

TV Shows for me - Cobra Kai, Twin Peaks, The Walking Dead (regardless of the quality drop in more recent seasons), Game of Thrones and Breaking Bad.
