I thought the Biden years were fine tbh
Never woke up in a cold sweat wondering if Trump really did that or if I just dreamed it, and then when I check facebook for the news I get called the r-word by 50 year old men with the mentality of 14 year olds.
I mean let's be honest. There was very little good about him either. The genocide did start on his watch. We switched from controlling a puppet state to being a puppet state.
His funding for US infrastructure wasn't all bad though.
He was 'back to normal' which was the best thing about him, but normal kinda sucked too.
The genocide did start on his watch.
Israel started the genocide of Palestine in 1948 if I recall
I will say he was "back to normal", but a day at the office feels like a vacation when you've finally finished crawling out of the flames of Hell.
Trump has me begging for normal
New arc raiders map looks a little bare
Bring barricades and pray 😅
I.... I don't know if I can handle another year of all this.......
Even in the worst moment, you can always find comfort in the "warmth" of some healthy social activity to do outdoor...
Friendly reminder to not stuff the rag into the bottle, but rather keep the bottle closed and tie the rag around it. That way the liquid won't leak out and the fire won't touch it until the bottle breaks (hopefully after you've thrown it).
I stuffed the rag in and it worked fine. Leaves a trail of fire but you don’t have to worry about the rag slipping off!
Been saving up styrofoam all year. For arts and crafts, of course!
I believe 2026 will be year of defeating authoritarianism. In Hungary there's a good chance Orban will finally be voted out, Democrats might win big in the midterms, I'm seeing initial signs that the UK will reverse Brexit or move towards that direction but for these kinds of things to happen it's going to take good people willing to fight and win instead of the bad people.
What I've learned is activism is the cure for doom scrolling and worrying. Just focus on something you believe in and fight for it, you'll feel so much better. For me I'm passionate about trying to get people to boycott Twitter and other companies that support Trump, I just focus on that and know I'm doing what I can to make things better. I don't spend a lot of time stuck in unproductive loops. You too can fight for a better future.
seeing initial signs that the UK will reverse Brexit
Hi. Where?
Very strong emphasis on initial. Polling is showing Brexit is slowly becoming more unpopular: https://www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/brexit-support-2025-poll-will-uk-rejoin-eu-396304/ and talk about rejoining the EU customs union: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/brexit-customs-union-vote-labour-mps-trade-eu-b2881712.html
well, that's promising news, so thanks. Still, I won't hold my breath
I'm an American and I'm worried Trump will start publicly executing transpeople as a warning to the gays to "tone it down" any day now
I was full bore into all of this but now I'm not sure it'll happen. They're so insanely absurdly stupid and incompetent and seem to care more about the racism than anything else. Trump is very obviously getting worse by the week and that ain't gonna just suddenly stop
I hope I'm right
I hope he has an anuyerism. Thing is he brought the "Forbidden R-Word" out of retirement by calling Tim Walz one. He is highly infuential. Hell I bet he could get white people to start saying the N-Word next.
Y'all. For real, it's going to get worse this year. Get ready.
Does it have to?
Yes, even in the good timeline where humans magically stop acting like they always do
We can see it from here, but we haven't hit rock bottom quite yet.
"Current year sucks" is the Madden of internet memes.
Me and The Boys ready to deal with whatever bullshit 2026 has for us:
I can take that bitch
in a fight, right..? Right..?
Just need three buddies and a portable hellbomb.
For democracy
Funny?
I reckon it's one of those jokes that the Joker likes so much...
At this point...
Considering both my CPAP masks broke in the past couple of days, yeah. It's not off to a great start
That reminds me I should probably buy my first spare next year
I get one discounted mask per year. If the machine fails, it better have been 5 years since I last bought one, because those are only one prescription every 5 years allowed, otherwise it's self-funded (even government funded is unfortunately only 90% off, but at least that's sorta affordable)
Give it time...
Pull over to the side of the road and let me out. I will wait.
Looks like fun.
Mirror should just say 2025, most of those years weren't horrible
