A Year in Review
2016 has been one hell of a year.
The sheer amount of shitty things that have happened is hard to grasp. Sitting here, in December, it’s hard to remember the things that happened 12 months ago, in January of this god-forsaken year. It’s important to look back, though, and so while this podcast is about the future, part of this episode is going to be dedicated to the past. At the beginning of each month, because this year has been an actual shit fest, we’ll round up the celebrities who died in that month.
January:
* Renault-Nissan says it wants to give us autonomous cars. 10 in the next four years. Which seems like a lot, and (XX) They have a blog (XX) where they post things about it THAT SOMEONE WHO CARES ABOUT CARS SHOULD READ BEFORE WE RECORD BECAUSE I DON’T CARE ABOUT CARS.
* White House officials met with major tech companies to talk about ISIS, basically. Specifically, they talked about how terrorists are using social media to recruit people for their cells. (XX) It was a closed-door summit, so everything abou it is probably on WikiLeaks. (XX)
* The Year started of shitty. The first man-crush I remember having, Alan Rickman, passed away. So did David Bowie.
* The Powerball hit $1.6 Billion, and I bought my first lottery ticket. Oddly enough, given that I’m still a waitress, I didn’t win. (XX)
* Flint Michigan doesn’t have clean water. (Flint, Michigan still doesn’t have clean water.) (XX)
* Remember that those crazy people in Oregon? (xx) The ones who took over a wildlife refuge? They were a group called Citizens for Constitutional Freedom,

Finally sobered up from MAGFest, I and Prose Boy Tim settled in for the lengthiest Futureland episode yet.
From our hiatus, we brought new fears, a new unfittingly-political show segment called Tump, and a meager soundboard. Surely, its sheer length makes up for our skipped weeks.
