Futurewatch: 2026

It's the most magical time of year. That's right: FUTUREWATCH. Every second the year continues, the magic continues to deplete until the year dies. I don't make the rules: I just observe them. From the magic observatory. I HAVE FORGOTTEN WHAT TO PUT HERE:

Topics discussed:

• Futurewatch: every year we stray further and further from Back to the Future Part 2.
• The Bell Riots (2023) and the Irish Reunification of 2024.
• Modding a Gameboy Colour on new year's eve during a party.
• The Golden Brothers awards.
• An ostensibly fun fact about religious hats?
