2026 – 2025 Fork

I used to think “conspiracy theories” were about secret plots and hidden agendas. Over time, I’ve come to believe something more troubling: the real danger isn’t what’s hidden, but what we’re distracted from. When attention is constantly pulled toward outrage, personalities, and cultural flashpoints, it becomes much easier for powerful interests to operate without scrutiny.

I’m not interested in relitigating Trump or competing in the coming flood of commentary and parody. That work will be done by others. What matters now are the deeper, quieter forces shaping our future — oligarch influence, the erosion of public education, the hollowing out of healthcare, and the propaganda strategies evolving to keep us unfocused. This space exists to slow that process down, to help us recognize patterns, and to remind ourselves that understanding is the first step toward regaining control.

2025. the joke was on us, they flew at us so fast we couldn’t keep up. The only way to respond was through satire and parody, but it may may be good or it may be bad, but I believe it’s time to start planning for what is to come. There is only one way to do that, and that is to understand what is behing all three curtains.

My first instinct was to paint MAGA on the war head, but upon a saner reflection I’m afraid MAGA is the target as well. Nobody is safe.
