There will be lot's of rabbit holes to dive down, but the big narrative will be geared to justify the outcomes of US elections. My predictions are this will probably be the one to break kayfabe...
Most important story will be in the realm of science and technology, it will get little public play, and will not be understood by most people. Five years later, everyone's life will be changed, and everyone will say, wow, back in 2024 no one was even paying attention to this.
Most hyped story will be some celebrity sex scandal, as usual. It's interest will reside solely in the usual torrent of photos and video clips of sexy Hollywood babes in beachwear pretending they did not go to the beach solely to be photographed, and feigning annoyance.
Big consequential story which everyone will understand will be whatever happens to Trump, and the ensuing brouhaha. Does he get convicted of a crime and go to prison? Does he get reelected as President? Both???
Trump will not only be re-elected but he will declare himself Imperator and will mobilize a pan-European crusade to retake Constantinople and Jerusalem. He will deport millions of immigrants. Joe Biden will die peacefully in his home. Hillary Clinton will commit ritual suicide and Vivek Ramaswamy will convert to Islam. The Lions will defeat the Ravens in the Super Bowl. The war in Ukraine will see minimal gains on either side but the Ukrainians will start to exhaust themselves. The U.S. economy will either boom or crash--it will not be a normal year financially. The Taylor Swift hysteria will taper off noticeably.
'The key, I learned, is that any activist campaign has three points of leverage: reputational, financial and political. For some institutions, one point of leverage is enough, but, for a powerful one such as Harvard, the “squeeze” must work across multiple angles.'
'Throughout the campaign, I adopted the unorthodox approach of narrating the strategy in real time, explaining how conservatives could shape the media narrative and apply pressure to Harvard. Critics condemned me as a propagandist and bad-faith actor. Some of my allies also questioned the wisdom of telegraphing the campaign’s next moves. But there was a method to my madness. Conservatives face enormous disadvantages in public discourse—most significant, the progressive left’s near-monopoly on prestige media. By raising these dynamics to the surface, we can begin to challenge and subvert them.'
'There is another reason I have adopted the practice of openly narrating the inner workings of these campaigns: to teach and to embolden others. Niccolò Machiavelli wrote “The Prince” not for those who already knew how power worked, but for those who needed to know but didn’t yet understand. If there is any hope of stopping America’s cultural revolution, it must begin with a clear-eyed understanding of how to wield power and reshape institutions in the real world. Fantasy is no substitute for victory.'
Easily one of the right's most effective actors in the US, even if he self-admittedly only has won minor victories thus far.
Well that explains why you didn’t post anything. I love the guy but good god I can’t watch any of his interviews, it’s like a marathon but on an unpaved road. “Um, Neo-cameralism, basically um um um asserts um um that profit is superior to um um um buecracy, as Mises shown um um um um tho Mises is um um um like Newton good theory but praxis is sometimes more important than just relying um um um on theory. And this is why the government um um um needs to um um act like a corporation.”
Also hope you’re feeling better, God Bless you and your family and happy new year’s
Western governments will commit more money to fighting climate change than any other budget item. The single biggest source of greenhouse gasses in the west will be what big business does with all that money. (Insert hot air joke here.)
-the right wing surge in Europe will get blamed for the economic stagnation that is sure to continue for the next decade
-America will be even more depraved in its efforts to suppress immigration and crime statistics, eventually leading to the FBI no longer breaking down data
-GOP takes the Senate and retains a narrow House majority, but I still see this as a 60/40 presidential election in favor of the libtard establishment. I don't see how they won't "fortify" just as hard if not harder given the state of geopolitics this time
Mass conversion to Orthodoxy
Let's get back to business.
COVID-23 or some other reason to take those fancy police powers out for another spin.
China moves on Taiwan while their friend Biden is in power.

Predictions:
Israel in the news. The loss of American support, or the imminence of it, will shake things up there.
Another Epstein whistle-blower will come forward with something unredacted.
The unstoppable far right menace on the march in Europe.
Some weird repro-tech thing will happen.
Widespread adoption of the (afaik) unnamed concept: When something isn't working properly, g'head and break it all the way.
We'll likely see it in many small and a few very large instances. Might try it myself.
The US Election of 1860 gets a reprise, only far more retarded and clownish than the original.

A couple salient excerpts:

I predict that Nothing Will Happen
Actual predictions:
-the right wing surge in Europe will get blamed for the economic stagnation that is sure to continue for the next decade
-America will be even more depraved in its efforts to suppress immigration and crime statistics, eventually leading to the FBI no longer breaking down data
-GOP takes the Senate and retains a narrow House majority, but I still see this as a 60/40 presidential election in favor of the libtard establishment. I don't see how they won't "fortify" just as hard if not harder given the state of geopolitics this time
