2025 Predictions Guaranteed or Your Money Back

 

True to form, 2024 was an unpredictable year on many levels. As it comes to an end, it’s time to make some predictions about 2025. Here we go:

1. Bluesky, Mastodon, and Threads all fail to get traction, and X continues to stand alone.

2. Bucking the previous consolidation of AI efforts within large-scale and largely white-owned tech firms, the field democratizes considerably as lower barriers to entry create an innovative environment into which many diverse voices gain popularity.

3. Despite (or perhaps because of) a broad spectrum of opposition to incoming President Trump, the Democratic Party splinters, as far-left and moderate-middle are unable to reconcile themselves as being in the same group.

4. For the first time ever, a major US professional sports team names a female head coach.

5. Once left for dead and featuring noticeably homogenous casts, soap operas make a spirited comeback, updated for modern sensibilities with more multi-ethnicity in cast and content.
