    No. My criteria for for things happening is if everyone knows about it regardless of news reporting. A chatgpt generated headline summarizing a supreme court decision is not.

    Isn't that the sentiment behind 'weeks where decades happen?' The momentous weeks that come out of nowhere, changing everything, and their seemingly innocuous build-up over the decades prior?

      We're still in the build up phase for sure, but I don't think it's necessarily an on/off switch. There has to be a ramping up of the seemingly innocuous things in the weeks before the weeks where things happen.

      This kind of shit does have a striking resemblance to those weeks that happen before weeks where things happen, so they could be the immediate precursor of things happening. But it's also entirely possible that these past few weeks are not the weeks building up to weeks of happening things and things will ramp back down to a simmer for another who knows how many more before things actually happen. Regardless, I feel like it is clear that we no longer have entire decades where nothing happens. Shit goin be happening one way or another before another decade is out.
