We're ringing in the new year with our first ever predictions issue. Lemonade’s calling it now: Full throttle everything. Crown Vics with custom wraps. The permanent underclass. Fuzzy dice. Neo-feudalism. Bricked iPhones with hand-done engraving. Gardening in Takis bags. Luigi canonized. Bedazzled Pit Vipers. High octane subsistence farming. Camo print on caskets. The forced gig economy. Dashboard shrines. The singularity. Hot Cheetos as seasoning. Gratuitous cortisol. Maybe they'll even roll out the guillotines. More is more and the future's loud, baby!

The Medium is the Machine
IN THIS ISSUE
Fascists have always had great designers. The Nazis had a brand. So did Mussolini. Now Airbnb's cofounder runs America's first design office, slapping AI-generated Trump-with-armed-cops onto .gov sites and swearing the whole time that design is apolitical.

Memory Hole
IN THIS ISSUE
Internet Archive just passed a trillion saved web pages, a scale that’s hard to even register. The Wayback Machine turns disappearance into something retrievable, a quiet refusal of erasure. Zoom out and the same impulse repeats in different forms. Prelinger Library rescues industrial films and discarded media. Letterform Archive preserves the visual byproducts of design history. An archive is less about completeness than persistence. Never a total record, but a stubborn one. A counterweight to an increasingly ephemeral world.

Radical Software
IN THIS ISSUE
The internet has owners. These tools don't. A tour of mesh networks, community infrastructure, and open-source systems. SwampNet connects mutual aid hubs for hurricane season. NYC Mesh builds community internet nobody owns. Meshtastic lets you text without cell towers. ICE watch networks alert neighborhoods to raids. Software in the original sense. Built for people, not platforms. Maintained by communities, not corporations.

Chill Out
IN THIS ISSUE
It's hot enough to fry an egg on the sidewalk. Your car is overheating. Your slushee is just syrup. Thanks a lot global warming. Bummer that pools are for the rich. Good thing this zine is cheap. Enjoy an ice cold issue of Lemonade.

Utopia or Oblivion
IN THIS ISSUE
Fuller's original ultimatum: make the world work for everyone or get fucked. Dunne and Raby call it speculative design. Some proposals stayed on paper, some got built and failed, some succeeded in ways nobody expected. Archigram's plug-in cities that never plugged in. Drop City domes that mostly collapsed but proved collective living could work. Constant's New Babylon that somehow spawned shopping malls. The proposals were wild. Some executions sucked. But speculative design isn't about success, it's about permission to imagine different futures.

TV Party Tonight
IN THIS ISSUE
Pirate TV. Public access freaks. A quaint time when saying "fuck" on cable was genuinely transgressive. Ant Farm drove a Cadillac through flaming televisions and called it art (it was). Radical video collectives, TVTV's media vans, basement studios producing shows so bizarre they couldn't exist anywhere else. This issue is a look at the pre-internet fantasy that democratizing media would liberate us instead of just giving everyone megaphones to scream into the void simultaneously.

Just Rollin’ Through
IN THIS ISSUE
Bikes haven't changed much in a hundred years because they don't need to. The frames stayed simple, while the expression moved to the surface. Lettering, decals, paint shouting personality. Grease-stained, chain-clattering, unapologetically human. No gas, no apps, no Bluetooth. Before cars with touchscreens, before "micro-mobility" became a buzzword, bikes were already doing it better. Just move your legs and go.

Dead Earth Catalog
IN THIS ISSUE
The Whole Earth Catalog offered tools for a better world. What we got instead is something harder to classify. The collapse is ongoing. The emergency is ambient. Interesting times are the only times available and they arrive daily. Stewart Brand did not see this coming. This is the WEC reimagined for a post-prosperity generation. Less “we are as gods,” more “we are managing.”
