At the end of each year I make a "predictions" list for the next. I used to work in trend forecasting, but only share this on my tiny private account for fun. I love tracking patterns across pop culture, which is generally categorized as brain rot. I find pop culture to be a pure resource for tracking anthropological trends & patterns. This is a great hobby. I have favorite paparazzi pictures like when Hillary Duff was proposed to & immediately went in for what looked like a blow job. That's a great one. Jonah Hill holding his iced coffee lid as the actual cup of coffee falls to the ground, also great & relatable. Similarly to reality TV, having an appreciation for pop culture in general deserves more credit.
