✅ Top 3 Must-Post Trends

1. Japan’s July 5 “Megaquake” Prophecy

This might be the first time we report the news before it breaks.

What happened:
The prophecy of Ryo Tatsuki, a little-known manga artist from the 1990s, has sent ripples of panic through Japan and beyond. In 1999, her manga The Future I Saw predicted a devastating earthquake would strike Japan on July 5, 2025, triggering a tsunami larger than the 2011 disaster that killed 20,000 people. Tatsuki gained credibility over the years after predicting Princess Diana’s death, Freddie Mercury’s passing, and the COVID-19 pandemic, among others. Airlines report sharp declines in flights to Japan today, with bookings from Hong Kong reportedly down 50% and Chinese, Thai, and Vietnamese bookings plunging up to 83%. Scientists continue to stress that no one can reliably predict earthquakes, but social media has been ablaze with hashtags like #July5Disaster, driving even those outside Japan to speculate.

🎯 Why it’s a post opportunity:
It’s rare for mysticism, disaster, and verifiable history to collide this cleanly — making it easy to craft a compelling story.

✍️ Post Idea:
"POV: you’re at Narita airport on July 5 and every manga fan just sprinted past you." (Include a clip of airport crowds or a manga panel.)

2. Texas Floods Leave Camp Girls Missing

This is just horrific.

What happened:
Record rainfall in Texas Hill Country overnight caused the Guadalupe River to surge by over 26 feet in under an hour, flooding towns and campsites with little warning. At least 24 lives have been confirmed lost and over 20 girls are still unaccounted for from Camp Mystic, a beloved summer camp that’s been operating since 1926. Helicopters, rescue swimmers, and drones have rescued over 230 people so far, including entire groups of campers airlifted off rooftops. Local officials have called this the worst flood since 1987, and families of the missing children continue to gather outside command centers awaiting word.

🎯 Why it’s a post opportunity:
Tragedy + heroism always resonate — your audience wants to express solidarity and gratitude to rescuers.

✍️ Post Idea:
"Thinking of Texas families tonight — and the rescuers working non-stop. 🙏"

📣 CTA:
Tag a first responder you know and thank them.

3. Diogo Jota Dies in Car Crash

What happened:
Liverpool striker Diogo Jota, 28, and his brother André Silva were killed early July 3 in a car crash in Spain. Jota, advised not to fly after recent lung surgery, drove overnight from Porto to catch a ferry to England. His Lamborghini blew a tire while overtaking on a wet stretch of highway near Zamora, veering into a barrier and bursting into flames. Jota married just two weeks ago, leaving behind his wife and three young children. Fans have been flooding social media with tributes to the Portuguese international, who helped Liverpool win the Premier League and played a key role in Portugal’s UEFA Nations League run.

🎯 Why it’s a post opportunity:
Celebrity deaths prompt mass remembrance and strong emotional engagement.

✍️ Post Idea:
"Gone too soon. RIP Diogo Jota. Once a Red, always a Red. ❤️" (Include video of one of his iconic goals.)
