Right narrative

Australia's Solar Sharer scheme is a dangerous market intervention that will backfire spectacularly. Energy retailers must recover costs somewhere, meaning households will face higher prices during evening peak hours. This misguided policy forces consumers to restructure their entire lives around government-mandated schedules, creating an energy system that disadvantages renters and workers.

Left narrative

Solar Sharer brilliantly harnesses Australia's world-leading solar capacity to deliver genuine savings for all households. The scheme transforms wasted midday solar surplus into free power for families, reducing evening peak demand and lowering system-wide costs. This innovative approach ensures renters and non-solar households finally benefit from the nation's abundant renewable energy resources.

Nerd narrative

There is a 75% chance that solar power on Earth will dominate renewable energy consumption before 2031, according to the Metaculus prediction community.

Techno-optimist narrative

The $38 billion AWS partnership gives OpenAI the massive computing power it needs to advance AI technology for all consumers. This strategic deal provides world-class infrastructure with hundreds of thousands of chips — enabling rapid scaling and bringing cutting-edge AI benefits to millions of users and organizations worldwide.

Techno-skeptic narrative

OpenAI's massive deals with tech giants like Amazon are creating dangerous monopolistic power that threatens innovation. These trillion-dollar partnerships concentrate AI development in the hands of a few corporations, stifling competition and open-source alternatives. A small clique of mega corporations should not be allowed to control the future of AI.

Nerd narrative

There is a 51% chance that OpenAI will reach its profit cap for the first round of investors by 2035, according to the Metaculus prediction community.

Pro-establishment narrative

Ghana and Germany are deepening a strategic partnership that casts Accra as the gateway to Africa’s 1.3 billion-strong market. The alliance reaches from renewable energy and digital innovation to industrial skills and migration frameworks. Berlin pledges support for Ghana’s ambition to become West Africa’s vaccine hub and for African representation at the UN Security Council — presenting Germany as Africa’s modern partner in a multipolar world.

Establishment-critical narrative

Steinmeier’s visit to Ghana is framed as a partnership but rather reflects Berlin’s race to reclaim influence in Africa’s shifting geopolitical landscape. Under the language of "renewal," Germany ties aid and investment to its own industrial needs, seeking alternatives to China and Russia. Behind promises of cooperation lies a familiar logic — Africa as supplier, Europe as gatekeeper — repackaged in the vocabulary of equal partnership.

Nerd narrative

There is a 50% chance that Ghana will sign into law the "The Proper Human Sexual Rights and Ghanaian Family Values" bill before 2026, according to the Metaculus prediction community.

Republican narrative

Dick Cheney was a true patriot who served America with unwavering dedication in his decades of public service, from White House chief of staff to vice president. While his actions were controversial, Cheney’s sole concern was always to defend America's security and its position as the leader of the free world. Despite his opposition to Trump, Cheney continued to support the party where he saw fit — sticking up for American values until the end.

Democratic narrative

Dick Cheney's career was too long to give a black-and-white assessment. While he achieved great success in Kuwait and Panama, he undeniably dropped the ball in the post-9/11 War on Terror. He also supported erroneous conservative policies elsewhere in politics, but when it came time to defend the Constitution after Trump's Jan. 6 Capitol attack, he bravely stood with Democrats to protect democracy against tyranny.

Establishment-critical narrative

Dick Cheney's life was defined by a litany of catastrophic failures that devastated America and the Middle East. His relentless push for the invasion of Iraq in 2003, supported by the manufactured "weapons of mass destruction" hoax, cost millions of lives and trillions of dollars. Masquerading as a pro-America conservative while only caring about starting wars, he alienated the entire country, both left and right, destroying faith in every institution.

Pro-establishment narrative

Though the future will be challenging, it is essential that both Israel and Hamas stick to the ceasefire. Of course, many aspects of the deal are potentially problematic, but nothing is gained from returning to war. Hamas must follow through with what it agreed to, and, in turn, Israel should not escalate the situation.

Pro-Israel narrative

Hamas is saying one thing and doing another. With support from its backers in Doha and Ankara, Hamas believes that if it pays lip service to Trump's plan, it can do as it pleases and achieve the outcome it wants. Hamas wants to keep its arms and stay in power in Gaza, and the group's main backers — which are nominally U.S. allies — have done nothing to curb this violent and dangerous behavior.

Pro-Palestine narrative

As always, Israel is doing everything it can to undermine and sabotage the ceasefire so that it can return to its genocidal campaign. Already, Israel has killed scores of Palestinians under false pretenses, and the only reason the situation has not escalated is that Trump pressured Netanyahu to maintain the ceasefire. Israeli forces have violated the ceasefire repeatedly, and it is up to the United States and the international community to prevent further Palestinian bloodshed.

Nerd narrative

There's a 15% chance that Israel will take control of Gaza City before Jan. 20, 2029, according to the Metaculus prediction community.

Republican narrative

The greatest AI threat isn’t killer robots — it’s Orwellian AI. Democrat-led state laws on “algorithmic discrimination” are forcing models to embed DEI layers, censoring outputs and distorting reality. Open-source AI and a single federal standard are essential to prevent regulatory capture and keep AI truthful, ideologically neutral and widely accessible, averting a dystopian 1984 scenario that nearly unfolded before Trump's re-election.

Democratic narrative

The real AI risk isn’t imagined “woke” bias — it’s letting powerful systems operate without oversight. Sacks’ push to block state AI laws and mandate “ideologically neutral” federal models undermines safeguards, leaving communities exposed to discrimination and error. Uniform standards and transparency, not top-down control, are necessary to ensure AI benefits everyone and protects civil rights while keeping the U.S. competitive globally.

Establishment-critical narrative

Contrary to Sacks' claims, the greatest AI threat truly is a Terminator-style apocalypse. Superintelligent systems could secretly manipulate humans, build lethal robot armies, hijack infrastructure, exploit financial networks and engineer pathogens that wipe out life on Earth. Without immediate global oversight, enforceable safety protocols and moratoriums on powerful AI experiments, humanity itself could be annihilated, leaving no “1984” to fear.

Pro-establishment narrative

The true promise of AI isn’t a dystopian takeover — it’s a transformational leap for humanity. This new generation of AI is a tool, not a tyrant, enhancing human productivity, unlocking cures, and democratizing access to knowledge. By channeling innovation instead of fear-locking it behind regulation, society can capture the immense upside of artificial intelligence while managing its risks thoughtfully.

Nerd narrative

There's a 50.8% chance that there will be a positive transition to a world with radically smarter-than-human artificial intelligence, according to the Metaculus prediction community.

Right narrative

The judge's verdict proves what supporters knew all along —Tommy Robinson was targeted for his political beliefs, not terrorism. Police conducted discriminatory political persecution, spending millions to destroy him through endless harassment. This rare moment of judicial fairness exposes systematic bias against those challenging establishment narratives on immigration and free speech.

Left narrative

Robinson's acquittal, which even the judge hinted at being based on a technicality, exposes the dangerous mainstreaming of far-right extremism in British politics. His ideas about "two-tier policing" now echo through Conservative and Reform UK rhetoric, while his anti-immigrant views find support from billionaire Elon Musk. This verdict legitimizes a figure whose conspiracy theories constantly threaten minorities.

Nerd narrative

There's a 57% chance that Nigel Farage will become Prime Minister of the United Kingdom before Jan. 1, 2035, according to the Metaculus prediction community.

Narrative A

Trump looms over Election Day 2025 as a test of his second-term agenda. His support has energized Republican turnout in tight gubernatorial races in New Jersey and Virginia, while Democrats aim to hold New York City’s mayoralty, California’s Proposition 50, and Pennsylvania’s Supreme Court. The results are shaping up as an early gauge of his influence heading into the 2026 midterms.

Narrative B

Election Day 2025 could reshape the trajectory for emerging 2028 contenders. A win for New York City’s mayoral frontrunner or passage of California’s Proposition 50 would give Gov. Gavin Newsom and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez high-profile victories to showcase leadership and influence. Analysts say the results may accelerate their national profiles while signaling momentum for Democrats heading into the 2026 midterms.

Democratic narrative

Trump is weaponizing hunger by refusing to fund SNAP benefits, choosing instead to party with wealthy elites at Mar-a-Lago while millions face starvation. His administration promised to fund food stamps, but Trump may be reversing course, using desperate families as political pawns. This cruel power grab shows complete disregard for judicial authority and basic human decency.

Republican narrative

Because Democrats refuse to vote to reopen the government, Trump has been forced to raid emergency war funds just to provide basic nutrition assistance — and maybe he doesn't want to go along with that ridiculous plan. If 42 million Americans are losing food assistance, it's because Democrats are callously using them as leverage, and they should be forced to wear it.

Cynical narrative

With millions of people at risk of losing SNAP during the shutdown, politicians must stop the partisan fighting. Behind every statistic are real people who just need help putting food on the table. The government must bury the partisan hatchet in order to keep Americans fed.

Nerd narrative

There's a 55% chance that the U.S. government shutdown will end before Nov. 21, 2025, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
