Here are two new articles that tell a different story from the conventional one that is repeated ad nauseum.

The first explains how there is growing evidence that primordial black holes could constitute the dark matter. This would potentially change our cosmological story in major ways.

The second explains how General Relativity can fully explain the statistical homogeneity of the cosmos on the largest observable scales. This approximate large scale homogeneity is one of the main justifications for inflation, but the new GR analysis shows that inflation is not needed as an explanation.

Then there are also Big Bounce models that radically change the cosmological story.
