It is 2029. Luka Doncic, 375 pounds now, is eating an open faced turkey sandwich during the first TV timeout of the 4th quarter of Game 3 of the NBA Finals. Experts wonder if he’s fat enough to win a 4th straight title. President Ocasio-Cortes has invaded El Salvador.

I am hoping this this year's Kendrick Lamar Super Bowl halftime show starts a trend of Pulitzer Prize winners getting that gig, and next year's halftime show has Robert Caro debuting the first chapter of the final volume of his Lyndon Johnson biography which would then hit stores the following day.
