NITRO CHiRAL fair Purchase Bonus Postcards [2024]

Figured I’d take a minute to scan the postcards that came with the merch I had preordered from eeo! If I’m not mistaken, I should only be missing the café one… which is likely because I didn’t order any of the café designs, haha. I love how cute all the new outfits are — I’d probably buy them all if they ever released official versions someday! These scans are available in better quality (along with their backs & front/back PDF sets) here.

Like 2 people messaged me about the NME magazine I was holding so while I still don't own a scanner, I can take shitty pictures from the britpop articles.

If you don't have print photos of you and your friends in your home, how will your doppleganger be able to pick up context clues about your relationships when they step into your life?

I have some illustrations in the Globe and Mail today. Despite working on this while the kids and I dealt with a winter stomach bug, it was a very fun project.

Huge thanks to Bryan Gee for his support and expertise!

2025 Trend Predictions

Those wallets that attach to your phone become hugely popular for women, to the point where people will speculate if purses in general are going out of style (they’re not).

Hippie “stomp clap” folk music OR Imagine Dragons-type music makes a resurgence

People stop whining about how dating sucks now and start taking matters into their own hands by doing more IRL events: speed dating, matchmaking, etc. Like dating apps, it’s initially judged and seen as “cringe” before catching on

Move over, matcha: the newest mainstream drink fascination will be the delicious thai tea. They have so much in common already: an iconic color, rich flavor, originating from East Asia, where they’re already popular in their respective countries. 

A smoothie as a meal becomes super popular again - “I don’t have an ED! It's just convenient.” (or, with the way things are going, people might not even outwardly deny having an ED)

“Doomsday prepper” mentality goes mainstream, people will be very keen on learning apocalyptic survival skills and jarring things

 Old fashioned YouTube style challenge videos come back: stuff like chubby bunny, cinnamon challenge, and the ice bucket challenge

 Among conversations about “the death of the it girl” we have our first monocultural “it-boy” we’ve had in years

 An increasing interest in print media- more zines? (please let this be true)

Customized, personalized pizza becomes big. Videos like “did you guys know that you don't have to put tomato sauce on your pizza? You can use any sauce you want! I just used buffalo ranch, it's a m a z i n g, you have to try this!”

People care a lot more about having “chic” cutlery/houseware

Chewing tobacco, AKA dip or chew, becomes BIG (though Zyns have been on the Bubbling Under Trend Charts for a while)

More BS conspiracy theories, allowing for more people to parade as pseudo intellectuals

Coffee, toffee, and caramel scents carry on the gourmand trend in fragrance

The “it-bag” is from Burberry or a similar brand, as quiet luxury continues to reign

No one cares about Thanksgiving or most festivities, people come online to complain about how no one cares about Thanksgiving or most festivities anymore

Worrying about if you’re getting enough electrolytes will become a “thing”

 Everyone reads my stuff and thinks it's great :D

Ryan Grenoble at HuffPost:

After nearly 25 years as a New York Times Opinion columnist, Paul Krugman announced Friday that he plans to retire from the gig at the end of the year. The American economist and Nobel laureate has been a fixture at the paper since his first column on Jan. 2, 2000, where he predicted the beginning of the “Second Global Economy” steered by American ideals and the promise of globalization.

Times’ Opinion editor Kathleen Kingsbury hailed Krugman’s “authoritative voice” and “lively writing” in a parting memo, praising his ability to clearly lead readers through what can often be a dense thicket of economic ideas. Kingsbury also applauded Krugman for speaking “hard truths ― sometimes as a lonely voice arguing unfashionable opinions.” That includes his strong opposition to the American invasion of Iraq (and countless other George W. Bush-era policies), Barack Obama’s handling of the Great Recession, and, of course, Donald Trump’s alarming infatuation with tariffs. Kingsbury said his final column ― as yet unwritten ― will be authored soon.
