2025 is here, but don’t expect any wishes from us… What would be the point of wishing to teleport all our loved ones to Candy Land and summoning My Little Pony to shower them with love, sunshine, immortality and chocolate rainbows?
It doesn’t work. What’s worse is that, year after year, we haven’t even finished putting our wishes for the new year online before something somewhere goes haywire, to put it politely.
So, while we wait for a swarm of giant anthropophagous locusts to arrive, we’re going to take matters into our own hands and tell the people we love that we love them, we’re going to choose a reasonable challenge like finally wearing our PPE*, we’re going to think a little more about others, waste a little less time on InstaTok, make the most of what the world has to offer and we’ll see – alakazam – things will get a whole lot better.
Can we still count on SoundLightUp? Absolutely, my friend. In fact, we’re in the process of renovating the site to make it even nicer to read, and this year’s programme looks to be packed with enough news, events, on-location reporting and mergers & acquisitions to keep you coming back for a long time.
Let’s just hope that our politicians forget about us for a while, that Donald and Elon realise that there’s only room for one Caliph, and that the climate gives us a chance.
Is everybody ready? Cut the house lights, 2025 is not about wishes, it’s about something much better.
