Like so many others, we here at Nonsense have decided to compartmentalize January, and instead, start 2025 with February! So what better way to kick off our new-new-year than with some tech and business predictions for what we believe is likely over the next twelve-minus-one months?
There’s some AI (of course!), a sprinkling of regulations to come, screen rollups, probably something about holograms & wearables, and something-something about satelites. They may not all be locks, but we can’t miss on all of them though, can we?!
But before we tell you the future, we wanted to discuss the present. This episode we’ve got website scrubbing, Tesla sales plummeting, and DOGE employees working under the cover of digital darkness. Mr. Toad would be proud of the ride.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
