🍾 We kick the year off with a VERY busy New Year’s Day on Forekast. We made a list of works entering the public domain for Public Domain Day (most notably Steamboat Willie, the first iteration of Mickey Mouse). Dry January also begins today.
🏋🏻♂️ Searches for “gym membership” on Google peak tomorrow, while searches for “hot holiday destinations” peak on Wednesday in the USA. We thought that was fun.
🏟️ There are two semifinal games in the College Football Playoff (The Rose Bowl and The Sugar Bowl). Today is also the 2024 NHL Winter Classic.
🌍 Several countries are set to officially join BRICS today.
🇳🇱 The Netherlands is banning phones in schools this year, starting today.
🗞️ There will be headlines surrounding Jeffrey Epstein, whose co-conspirator’s names become public today.
💒 The Golden Bachelor has wrapped, and now it’s time for a Golden Wedding.
🎄 Lots of new TV shows, movies, and holidays on Forekast this week. But our favorite holiday might just be National Take Down the Christmas Tree Day, helping officially settle any arguments about how long to leave the tree up. Can you guess which day of the week it is?
🏆 Under new ownership, The Golden Globes have found a broadcast partner in CBS. They air live on Sunday at 5pm PST. And yes, Barbie and Oppenheimer lead the way in nominations.
