On August 23, to be exact? For those who experienced Monday’s solar eclipse, especially for those who may have experienced their first eclipse, the prospects of the next one in 2044 has got many thinking where they will be when the next one comes around. For Gen Zs, they’ll be approaching age 50, and many Alpha’s will likely be sharing the experience with their kids, just the way in which they shared this eclipse with their Millennial parents.

Gen Zs weren’t even alive for the “Trial of the Century," but OJ Simpson’s passing on Wednesday of cancer at age 76 brought the athlete and television star’s complicated legacy back into the cultural dialogue this week. And now we all know that the infamous White Bronco is on display at the Alcatraz East Crime Museum in Tennessee.

This week, the Arizona Supreme Court upheld an 1864 law that would ban abortion and put doctors at risk of going to prison for two to five years for providing abortions. State Senator Eva Burch’s highly personal and passionate statements around this have since gone viral. Now many are reflecting on the irony of a law which not only predates Arizona statehood, but the end of the Civil War and the ratification of the 19th Amendment, giving women the right to vote! November is shaping up to be an interesting mix of ballot measures, not only in Arizona, that are sure to draw Gen Zs of voting age to the polls.
