675.333 is ? of 2026

We’re a third of the way done with 2026. I thought we ought to compare notes on the powerful tides of 2026 - what’s in, so far, and what’s out.

So, it’s with immense excitement that I present my lists.
You won’t find this elsewhere on the Internet provocation engine,
 - it’s a lot of vibes for one piece  - let’s go 

What’s in, in 2026?                    What’s out  

Gen Z directness,                         bets, 
slop content,                                Dutch paintings, 
excessive sugar,                          exercise, 
self judgement,                            the U.S.A,
credit card debt,                          flip phones,
candy cigarettes,                         careerism,
cowboys getting Botox,              offline sex, 
being honest,                               sexual identities,
taking stuff personally,                monogamy,
nonsexual nudity,                         being swole,
flash photography,                       sentimentality, 
using your phone at dinner,         dog friendly snacks, 
Dance Dance Revolution,            being nonchalant,  
mass hysteria,                              avoiding politics,
performative dinner parties,         coffee tea mixes,
jelly filled beignets,                       trad wives,  
expressing gratitude,                    endless screenshots,
pandering art,                               monetizing hobbies,
believing in a God.                        AI relationships
beach energy,                               the high road,
weekends with no plans,              making fake plans,                      
closet sales,                                  republican crazy,
Prada collapse sneakers,              eating for your blood type, 
Thrifting hauls                                corporate headshots,
confidence on the metro                productivity apps,

Extra - advice for the lovers out there:
    Tell your boyfriend when you’re unhappy, 
     while you can still turn the boat around.

Tea with Gran,her muffins supreme,
Bath and change and hair brylcreamed.
into town to the pub in the square, 
our gang always met there.
Checking the football scores 
in the Oxford 'green un'.

Trad jazz with Donegan,Bilk or Collier 
or maybe the ballroom bacchanalia.
Skip,hip-hop or jive or more sedately 
to the Friday Five.

A swift half of cider in the Bodega bar
sadlynone of us could afford a car.
Dropping a shilling in  the snug juke 
box,Haley and Elvis,then unorthodox.
Bought tickets for the coming live shows,
Cochrane,Cliff and Shadows.

Later, at the dance the last waltz about 
to begin,if you were fancied ,it 
showed in her coy grin.

Requesting a date took a little courage,
so glad my choice that day,led 
to marriage.

Rise of China

China, like the phoenix rising from the ashes, rises from the waters of the Eastern seas and spits unstoppable fire of the red dragon! He does not indulge in conflict but only progress. 

Sometimes, called the red dragon, He attracts interest from all corners of the world, enjoying trad intercourse with friends and foes. The Chinese actions are not from arrogance but out of service to its people. 

China development is not about speed, ideas, efficiency, or power. It is about knowing his own limitations and celebrating the gifts of others.

The century of humiliations never made China back down. His vision lifted over 800 million people out of poverty in the past 40 years, showing the world that, nothing is impossible. 

China is not distracted by the insults and lies coming from different directions. China focus is on progress!

China has created dangerous and sophisticated weapons but  has never conquered a single nation outside its borders. That's true power and leadership!

Everywhere China goes, builds and not destroy. China Vision for the World Is Not to Divide but to Unite!

China minding its own business in genuine silence is a sign of humility and respect for others. 

China not forcing others to be like them is a mark of true wisdom. You were one of the first to travel around the world, but you never colonised anyone. 

Even when they are bullying you, your focus is on progress and meaningful development. your goal is not to rule the world but to unite the world and make it better place for all.
