Looking bad for Stills.

im predicting it will be the year of natural disasters. all the tragedies this year were celebs and politics, which is surface stuff. next year will be the real unavoidable horror of nature. the big one will hit cali, etc.

Lohan comeback

Lucan comeback

2017 hotter than 2014 but cooler than 2016.
Record September lows in Arctic sea ice extent.
Fewer celebrity deaths than 2016.
The slow economic/demographic collapse of Japan and Italy progresses.
New tariffs enacted despite corporate opposition, both in the US, and in retaliation.
A small anti-Trump opposition becomes entrenched within the GOP.
Infighting prevents a singular progressive voice from emerging in the US (and probably, many other liberal democracies).
Trump ends 2017 with approval ratings in the high-20s.

nuclear annihilation

^less of this pls

bad politics, baby

snap UK general election needs to new coalition government of really racist fuckers

the new Zelda and Mario games will rule

loads of bad celebrities who norms hate die and #thanks2017 becomes a sincere meme

the US will move the embassy to Jerusalem
there will be more religiously-motivated terrorism worldwide
right-wing movements will continue to gain political ground (my guess is one of marine or wilders wins)
russia will discontinue military operations in syria
more right-wing boomer celebrities will die

ilxors will find more things to be shocked about

The album that will eventually win the ILM '10s decade poll will be released

The US (and allied governments) will try to secretly negotiate baseband backdoors into every smartphone OS and Facebook will leak it to make Google and Apple look stupid and distract from their own deep, enthusiastic participation in the deal.

The NFL will invest in an eSports league (in order to destroy it)

Gigg Lane razed to the ground

Actor dies on the shitter

New poll puts Labour 14 points behind Tories, despite TM's controversial proposed temperance movement revival, and further plans to execute more disabled people.

Pleats and shoulder pads comeback

xxp i feel like we're more like 5-10 years away from a theoretical future where the NFL sees eSports as enough of a threat to destroy it

Fourth

La La Land wins best picture Oscar

Netanyahu wins Trump Puppeteer of the Year honors

Trump pushes to reschedule weed to Schedule 2 so that the GOP can simultaneously kill legal recreational weed and pretend to live up to supporting medical by tying it up in impossible clinical trials and eventually being a profit center for the pharmaceutical industry.

that's pretty good though I think trump is too dumb to understand stand it, I guess he doesn't have to though

Christmas gets cancelled

On Inauguration Day, Trump says "Barack Obama, you're fired!"

Happy new year, ILX. Let's all do our best to make 2017 better than the nightmare that 2016 was.

tombot's weird obsession with esports will continue unabated

ehhhh, tombot will re-create his pile of cheap crappy synths and effects units in his new basement and probably forget about esports (but still probably watch significant amounts of twitch)

Fieri on bass

i've lived on the verge of things for years (or maybe decades?) but i think i might just disappear
