Were Ben S Predictions Correct

As I write this, it’s Monday—a day before Apocalypse Showdown Part II.

I had a phone conversation with Robin Amer, then my editor at the Reader. Feels like five billion years ago—eh, Robin?

The conversation went a little like this . . .

Let’s just say it wasn’t my finest moment in prognostication.

That motivated Jake Malooley—another Reader editor who was in the office—to wisecrack: “I knew we lived in a bubble. I didn’t think it was on another planet.”

Again, I’m writing this on Monday. You’ll be reading this on Wednesday. And you’ll know things that have not yet occurred.
