Predictions! What will the glorious year of 2025 hold for us? Nico and Jessa try to sort it all out. Will Harvard graduates stop referring to themselves as radicals and revolutionaries now that actual assassinations are happening? Will the manfluencers raise an army to invade Canada and install Jordan Peterson as Trump's colonial minister? Will an American ever write a good novel again? Will the rebirth of a Temperance movement start burning down casinos and smoke shops to save the youths from sports betting and kratom? Who knows! We don't, but we will pretend to.

As the stars align for another French Revolution (Pluto in Aquarius, baby), the billionaires and CEOs are quaking. They're upgrading their security teams, they are building compounds. Also, as things escalate with Russia, Jessa and Nico wonder if we're going to get Rocky IV-level propaganda soon. Booker Prize winner Samantha Harvey is getting review-bombed for even having a Russian character in her novel, the people demand a new Drago onto which they can project their hate and anxiety! The last Cold War gave us Mikhail Baryshnikov, who knows what wonders await us this time?
