you think you exist
The ubiquity of social media, its amalgam of people, sobriquets and avatars, and its associated cult of celebrity, will inevitably lead to an outpouring of actual grief for a virtual persona.This will begin in an insignificant way. For instance, a forum, upon losing the contribution of a particular member, discusses that member as if they have passed rather than unsubscribed. It will progress to the failure of a popular invented person to tweet; the bereavement felt and tweeted keenly by its followers in memoriam.
Such events will become orchestrated. People using fake photos and names, nurturing multiple online personalities, will bask in the eulogising of 'fans' and 'friends' more than once, often simultaneously, over their virtual lives and demises. The creator of the first manipulated anony-pseudo-death to contrive a massive sense of loss for someone who didn't exist, will ironically gain celebrity status for inverting the zeitgeist of social media's byproduct: online immortality.
Eventually no one will know who exists and who does not. (I don't even know who I am as a person, let alone who I'm meant to be as an Anonymous Author). People will feel betrayed and become wary. Social media will ultimately deliver the opposite of what it set out to provide; disconnection and confusion. I give it one and a half generations in human years.

I never anthropomorphise collective nouns; they hate it.

Worthy recipients of The Trons prize indeed.
While these are not likely to be released, here's somewhat incongruent Ace of Bass bass cover:

After a heightened night out, freshly picked and steeped Chamomile is soporific and prolific (should your digits be more grim than green). For a difficulty of 9.1 attempt asparagus from seed. Three years to harvest, then productive for more than ten years.

Consider talking to your plants. Recite them the following:
*Des (emptier) shopping Cartes*
look at the essence of vegetables, mostly;
leer at spotty legumeswatch items;
my poxy potatoesstudy stuff;
her silly swedespore over objects;
his paltry peaseye things;
their four-eye yams.
If that fails to stimulate the greenery into growing, play them music. Kyuss’ track Phototropic from …and the Circus Leaves Town is both beautiful and relevant.As one commenter states ‘If I ever landed on Mars I’d play this in my spacesuit when I go outside.’

Concerning the approaching celebrity tsunami, they're welcome to my fifteen minutes of fame. A little piece of me died upon realisation of how many pages/hours of media will need to be actively avoided.
It comes from as good an authority as I'm likely to access that the following has been fountain-penned into the royal filofax:
Engagment party – Abbey Travel Lodge Motel, Hamilton; entertainment courtesy of The Trons.
Stag night and Hens' do tbc. (Pinnacle Club, Newton and Happy Tav, Havelock North are front runners).
