2022 calendar stressed about living up to previous years’ hype

After US-Iran almost went to war and a coup conveniently broke in the Capitol Hill in the first weeks of 2020 and 2021, respectively, the craftspersons of 2022 had to hold an emergency meeting to figure out how to beat their predecessors in their own game. A special task force has been assigned that just designs the first week. It is supposed to track all the events that happen in 2021. This team has the creme de la creme of Machine Unlearning engineers, that can predict the past — a rare talent indeed.

All calendars from the future are already making their spies go back in time to investigate how exactly did 2020 manage so many feats all at once. After all, it just started with the customary war “gotcha” moment but then threw in a pandemic, BLM, an impeachment, and a historic election. After 2021 already getting the whole vaccine thing on its itinerary, 2022 Headquarters is working overtime to come up with something that makes it the best one yet. They will have to be extremely secretive about everything. No one except someone from the future is allowed to enter the 2022 premises. A single mole in this committee would mean hundreds of lost moments of infamy. Security is top-notch — after all, it is not Capitol Hill.
