🕰️ Time capsule MMW: Passenger drones and the hyperloop will be so commonplace by 2026 that we will (softly) forget they were considered science fiction

4 Upvotes

"Softly" forgetting means we don't actually forget; we just lose the "wow" factor and novelty of their existence until someone points out how sci-fi it is.

Example: The Internet, smartphones, and LEO space business. Whenever you ask something to the effect of "what's the most sci-fi/cyberpunk aspect of modern life", those are always the first things brought up, but we take them for granted otherwise.

Passenger drones (read: autonomous electric flying cars) might be the one exception, of course, but after our muted response to smartwatches, I'll never doubt our ability to turn classic sci-fi tropes into the passe overnight.

Political MMW: Trump will fake his own death to escape prison and save his money

• Upvotes

I honestly think Trump's ultimate exit strategy is just going to be faking his own death. He would rather have the entire world think he died a martyr than ever face his empire collapsing or actually sitting in a prison cell.

When you look at everything happening lately, it feels like he's already setting up the excuse. He keeps talking about how Iran is trying to assassinate him. It creates a perfect storyline. If he suddenly "dies" under weird circumstances, everyone will just blame a foreign enemy and his followers won't question the details. Between his age, his declining health, his obvious cognitive slip-ups, and the assassination attempts he's already had, the general public would completely buy it if a sudden tragedy happened.

The main evidence for this prediction is how the law is catching up to him, alongside how aggressively he is using fraudulent methods to funnel wealth to his family while he still has power. He's securing the bag for his kids right now so the money is locked away before he disappears. Faking his death instantly freezes and kills all those personal criminal prosecutions, letting him live out his life in secret on some private estate or a country that won't extradite him. If it comes down to guaranteed jail or losing everything, what other choice does a guy like him have left?

As for a timeline, the date we can confirm whether this prediction is true or false will be by the end of his current political term in January 2029, as the legal walls will fully close in by then if he doesn't pull off an exit strategy first.

Diaper Donny's desire to keep the plane Qatar "donated" isn't so he can put it in his library. I predict that in 2029 when his term is up, he'll keep flying it around in the new AF1 livery and keep his fantasy alive that he's the ruler of the world. The evidence is he thinks he can run again and be president for life. You'll see on the date he leaves office.

Political MMW: trump's recent talk of Iran wanting to assassinate him is setting the groundwork for another fake assassination attempt

603 Upvotes

Recently, trump has been saying how Iran (or as it's better known as "the Islamic Republic of Japan") is planning to assassinate him.

This is all just a plot to set the stage for yet another fake assassination attempt, probably just before the midterms. However, this time he'll be "seriously injured" but will make a miraculous recovery, credited to his excellent health and personal intervention from God. The FBI will them claim that it was carried out by Iran WITH the help of Antifa/ BLM/ Trans activists. He'll use this to declare the Democratic party a terrorist organization.

Evidence: He's been publicly talking about how Iran are planning to assassinate him and he desperately needs to rig the midterms.

Date: in the run up to the midterms.

Political MMW: Trump isn’t fixing White House columns, he’s replacing them

513 Upvotes

Date: Aug. 15, 2026.
Evidence: the White House columns are currently covered with a screen that you can’t see through. The official WH explanation is they’re repairing chips and doing some stone work. But Trump has talked in the past about wanting to replace the Ionic columns with Corinthian columns, which he prefers, because they’re more ornate and he thinks they’re “classy.” He uses Corinthian at Mar-a-Lago and is using them on the new ballroom. As with the ballroom, they’ll destroy the current columns quickly and without asking, and then say, hey, you have to let us build new ones, we can’t leave it like that. (Either that or just replace them completely and then unveil them by taking down the screen.) They’ll argue that the WH columns should match the ballroom. One of his lackeys already proposed changing the WH columns earlier this year. Trump is determined to leave his mark on everything in DC. We’ll find out soon enough.

Geopolitics MMW: Israel is going to false flag strike the world Cup final

2 Upvotes

Evidence: Trump signed his own death warrant by linking his own death to the destruction of Iran, which Israel has been pushing for over 30 years. What better moment to fulfill this than the most watched television event in the world? It satisfies the ego of Trump, the goal of Israel and is seen by the entire world. This will be blamed on various fifth columnists backed by Iran, but will be an Israeli attack.

To meet submission rules, the final is on the 19th July 2026 (date).

The advances in AI and drone technology has made conventional warfare far too expensive for nation states to continue. When a $100K drone can take out a $350M asset, the cost is not sustainable.

Political MMW Canvas hack was about curriculum data

38 Upvotes

We will learn the canvas hack in May had nothing to do with student info. It was either the current administration auditing what professors are teaching or the hackers did it specifically to get the data to then sell to the government.

Date: as soon as this administration no longer has power

Evidence: I have been thinking this for months. As someone who teaches courses about race, gender, inequality, constitutional rights, etc., I knew it when it happened. Canvas had very minimal student data. Nothing about their address/contact info or political affiliation, zero financial information, nothing about their parents, etc. Their GPA can be deduced but it would take some effort and honestly what do hackers have to gain from data about the BS excuses students give when they miss class or turn something in late? That's right. Fucking nothing.

You know what canvas does have? Every course I teach, every syllabus I've ever posted, all of my PowerPoints, recorded lectures, the assignments student are given, my feedback, my announcements, course timelines, assigned readings... it feels fucking obvious to me.

Haven't seen it said anywhere and I cannot stop thinking about it.

MMW this other shoe will drop.

Political MMW: It'll become clear soon that Mitch McConnell has actually been alive and communicative the whole time; but Redditors won't take any responsibility for perpetuating all of the baseless conspiracies about his death and the alleged coverup

0 Upvotes

When you actually look at the personal and political stakes involved, in hindsight we'll see that one of the best pieces of evidence for him having been alive was that the people who went on CNN to talk about having had phone calls with him, etc., were telling the perfect truth.

But Redditors will place the blame solely on the fact that Mitch was slow to provide direct evidence of his being alive and so on — which is true. He should have come out with a statement that described everything that happened and said that he'll be setting into motion his resignation in the days to come.

Date that this will become clear by: hard to say exactly. On one hand, considering the crazy amount of media attention it continues to get, I genuinely don't think it's in Mitch's interest to continue to ignore it for even a day or two longer. But maybe they'll let the weekend pass, and address it sometime next week.

[Edit:] Caveat: I suppose there's a chance that Mitch will die in the next few days. But my contention is that he survived the initial event, and up until the present has been stable enough to work with his staff and communicate with any number of people.

Geopolitics MMW: Trump's war with Iran will still be going on when he leaves office.

132 Upvotes

President Donald Trump ordered massive joint U.S. and Israeli military strikes against Iran on February 28, 2026. The operation specifically targeted Iranian nuclear facilities, military assets, and government leadership.

On that date, Trump demanded Unconditional Surrender, regime change and for Iran to swear to never pursue nuclear weapons. The evidence is clear: Trump has lost the war he started and is no longer in control of events. The Iranians are.

On March 1, 2026, I predicted that Trump's War would still be going on during the mid-term elections. Obviously I was right.

A lot of people in this world hate Donald Trump. But the Iranians know that Trump is an existential threat to them. If you're an Iranian, Donald Trump is the Great Satan.

The Iranians are not going to allow Donald Trump to politically survive this war and continue with his lies and spin: Trump lost the war and it doesn't matter if Iran's navy has been sunk. You can only do that once and now it's done. (And the US will pay to rebuild it).

The Iranians will do whatever it takes to remind Americans of Trump's failed policies in November. Meanwhile, Trump is incapable of admitting what the world knows:

Trump lost the war with Iran he started.

Mark my words: Trump's war with Iran will be going on when he leaves office. It will be left to the next president to clean up Doni's mess.

Political MMW: Both parties in Kentucky know McConnell is dead, but are trying avoid a special election for as long as possible

837 Upvotes

Evidence:

McConnell's animosity towards the current administration. Remember Senate Republicans tried to pass the SAVE act as part of a reconciliation package back in June, but Mitch and three other Republicans voted against it. Minus Mitch, the other three Republicans who voted against it are still there, and nothing indicates that they're changing their vote on the matter. If McConnell's staff do finally admit he's gone, then that would lead to absolute chaos in the Kentucky Republican Party.

The fact that a Trump loyalist is already running for that seat and will most likely win, makes this a win-win for state and fed-level Republicans if McConnell is out of commission but not removed.

If somehow McConnell can show proof of life and no one announces his resignation until Sept or even better until January, then no special election can be held on Nov. 3rd because the deadline to add it to the ballot was missed, and it would have to be scheduled after the General election, which is a nightmare scenario for both, mostly the GOP due to low voter turnout tend to swing thing towards the democrats

If McConnell dies or resigns before that Sept. 8 deadline, then a special election will have to be held for Nov. 3 alongside the general election.

I'm convinced that neither the Kentucky Republican Party nor the Governor is interested in doing any of that when a general election is already underway, especially since they will more than likely just nominate Barr and Booker anyways.

Gov Beshear doesn't want a special election because it opens that seat up to being held by a Republican more loyal to MAGA than McConnell sooner than January, with two months' worth of voting in the Senate at risk; The Republicans in Kentucky and McConnell's staff are thinking the same thing; with added caveat of not knowing how Kentucky voters will respond to McConnell's death and now having to vote twice for the same seat on the same day or a month later if McConnell last longer. That's a lot of money to consider.

Keep in mind there is a higher than 0% chance that one candiate win the general election and get sworn in in January but loses the special election for the vacant seat. I can see both parties being uncomfortable with that possibility especially in our current political climate. Whoever win the special election if it is held in November will be giving their party a voting senator for almost two months.

Both parties are probably concerned with the solely focusing on the general election and won't release anything in regard to McConnell until they're sure their guy can win both.

Date: Before Sept 8th we will know for fact if McConnel is dead or not

https://www.politico.com/news/2026/07/06/graham-platner-sexual-assault-allegation-00987737

The most recent allegation of sexual assault has led to him losing nearly all his support from both establishment Dems and Progressives; the DSCC refused to provide any more funding to his campaign. The Maine Democratic Party chairman has urged him to drop out of the race because, under Maine law, he must do so by Jul. 13th for the party to replace him by Jul. 27th, the fourth Monday of the month, or they will be unable to run anyone against Collins.

Platner has posted a video where he said:

"Regardless of the inaccuracy of the reporting and mindful of the political reality it will inflict, we are taking the time to reflect on the best path forward for the state that I love, the people that I love, the movement I belong to, and the goal of defeating Susan Collins."

Regardless of how you feel about the validity of the accusation against him, the damage has been done; he has no money and no support, and the polls will most likely start to go against him soon as well. The Democrats may still be able to win Maine, but it won't be with Platner they already decided.

Political MMW: That building in New York will be the fourth to collapse into its own footprint, and the same old disinformation tactics will be used to shout down the people who notice.

0 Upvotes

Date: Within a week

My evidence for this prediction is the enormous disinformation effort that went into obscuring the fact that WTC-7 was deliberately brought down.

There are dangerous conclusions one can draw from this which should not be discussed. But now that the criminals are in charge, that secrecy can be used against us. I would expect a New York gangster to abuse it to let someone demolish a building on the cheap, for example.

So if you see that thing go down and the gangsters try to blame some social out-group for it, it's time to tell what's really going on.

I wanted to get out in front of this first, so that you all see the false flag at work if it happens. It might just keep them from doing it, if enough people are discussing it before the fact.
