Here are my predictions for 2022:
Covid continues to mutate and infect until herd immunity is finally reached. Undaunted, Omicron lands a role on a new Disney sitcom as the annoying neighbor.
The Rays lose the World Series to the Phillies in the seventh game at the Trop after the lights go out just as Wander Franco's potential two-out, two-run walk-off homer in the ninth is in mid-flight. Nobody sees where it lands. The umps decide it's a do-over and after lights return Franco grounds out weakly to first.
Led by cute k-pop animatron groups, disco makes a huge comeback, landing six songs in the top ten by the year's end. President Biden hosts Nicki Manaj and Fred Durst performing a disco version of the Star-Spangled Banner at a White House gala honoring the world champion Phillies and is subsequently impeached.
Insects unionize and honey futures soar.
A Tik Tok challenge prompts middle and elementary school students to participate in marathon, all day and all night "Peanut Butter Jelly Time" raps. Led by parents and teachers, wine sales reach an all-time high.
Performance artist Andy Kaufman reveals that he faked his death and has been impersonating Donald Trump since 1985 as a goof on the nation. The GOP immediately announces Mr. Kaufman as its front runner for the 2024 presidential nomination. It's later revealed that the real Donald Trump surreptitiously moved to an undisclosed ashram in India in 1989 and has since renounced all worldly possessions.
John F. Kennedy and JFK Jr. really do show up at Dealey Plaza in Dallas, but only long enough to tell the QAnon faithful to shut the fuck up and seek therapy.
Google and Microsoft merge early in 2022, forming the mega-company, "Goosoft." Apple stock soars.
Hey, it could happen! Happy New Year, everybody!
