I’m calling it now.
Worst year of our lives.

Just get used to it now so you aren’t surprised and try and plan accordingly.

The 21st century was supposed to be amazing and had so much potential… I just want to go back to 1993. 🥺

Lmao TRUTH

judgyskeleton.bsky.social•64 days ago

I mean, maybe orange bro’s shitty health will end him quickly? When dictators die chaos ensues & their legacy dies with them. Let’s hope he gives up the ghost quickly so the adults can get back into leadership 🙏

judgyskeleton.bsky.social•64 days ago

Let’s share our delusions that will get us through the 4+ years. I’ll be living in Below Deck binge watching, playing through all the big open world video games I can, & reading all the fantasy smut I can get my hands on. ✨

janeinne.bsky.social•64 days ago

Second dark ages upcoming??

tinykrisgames.bsky.social•64 days ago

Yeah.

Nice argument. Just one problem. https://youtube.com/shorts/7DznMIzn_nA

enfurnoh.bsky.social•64 days ago

Only if you’re living in America. The rest of us will just watch it burn from the outside. So glad I left 22 years ago.

bikerhobo.bsky.social•63 days ago

Amazing that you don’t think we Americans will find a way to make it everyone’s problem.

enfurnoh.bsky.social•63 days ago

Oh I’m sure you all will try, but we’ve got more going on than just your dumpster fire.

meggiemoo32.bsky.social•64 days ago

UK is probably following suit in the next five years, too. I'm dreading what's to come for both!

enfurnoh.bsky.social•64 days ago

Not likely. The threat of ReformUK is a paper tiger. They have no hope of winning a majority.

meggiemoo32.bsky.social•64 days ago

I wish I had your optimism. Sadly I fear that apathy will allow the 'paper tiger' to claim victory in the end. Let's not forget, Labour's victory wasn't exactly the landslide the media are making it out to be. Starmer was just the lesser of two evils.

enfurnoh.bsky.social•64 days ago

Well, I didn’t vote for Starmer as he’s not my MP. I voted for the clear vision Labour presented after 14 years of Tory disasters. I believe they have the time to fix enough that they’ll have a clear platform to win on.

meggiemoo32.bsky.social•64 days ago

I didn't vote for Labour personally, I voted for the Green candidate, but I live in NFs constituency, so that was a foregone conclusion. I sincerely hope Labour do make the necessary progress needed to turn things around, or else we could be seeing the likes of NF in No. 10 in the next decade.

lovinglife1000.bsky.social•64 days ago

Well,
I left and am in Mexico.
But the new administration is already messing shit up down here.
My Mexican
friends are nervous.

enfurnoh.bsky.social•64 days ago

I’m in the UK and the government is trying to undo the damage from 14 years of Tory rule, while trying to fend off the rise of the Trump style ReformUK party. The fight is real.

lovinglife1000.bsky.social•63 days ago

I’d rather be in the EU or the UK,
But my husband still has business interests in the US
and MX is a short trip.
I looked into Canada,
But they don’t have retiree visas,
Even if they have $$$. 🫤

enfurnoh.bsky.social•63 days ago

Makes sense. Miss our connection to the EU since Brexit, but can still visit of course. The UK has a lot of issues but still plenty to fight for.

genericat.bsky.social•64 days ago

Probably the best case scenario here...

8bittripper.bsky.social•64 days ago

Worst year of our lives... so far

bleez88.bsky.social•64 days ago

And we're only 3 days in...

richisrichardx.bsky.social•64 days ago

*Homer Simpson voice* worst year of our lives...so far

n0nnahs.bsky.social•64 days ago

this was definitely said many times by me in 2020 and 2021… cant wait for 2025 to not disappoint

graceaware.bsky.social•64 days ago

Exactly

jbabbott.bsky.social•64 days ago

The benefit of being a pessimist is you can never be disappointed. Only vindicated, pleasantly surprised, or deeply impressed that reality managed to be worse than your most imaginative expectations.

dawsonjp.bsky.social•64 days ago

Worst year of your life...so far

toxicsmiles.bsky.social•64 days ago

Worst years. There’s really no fixing what they’re going to break, not for another couple of lifetimes, progress is slow, keeping fascism back and backing up takes determination and time.

lunarhexagon.bsky.social•64 days ago

This year?

Oh yeah. 2024 was astoundingly terrible, but I knew that 2025 was going to be even worse.

joehk67.bsky.social•63 days ago

Worst year of our lives so far... We still have at least 3 more contenders coming up after this one.

hannasazi.bsky.social•64 days ago

Maybe I'll become a prepper. seems less stupid now

thenerddown.bsky.social•64 days ago

The doomerism is crazy,

lunarhexagon.bsky.social•64 days ago

What do you mean? Are you saying that Pearlmania should post about sparkly stuff and unicorns and how everything is just so great for everyone?

Why are you following him?

I honestly hope that you do keep your (toxic) positivity. But I also hope you don’t get the most rude awakening of your life

lunarhexagon.bsky.social•64 days ago

About how the world is and what is going on, because it’s rough, my friend. No one wants that knowledge willingly. But I want you to really focus and think about things outside of your small circle and just look around.

If you aren’t at least a little mad about everything…

xdder.bsky.social•64 days ago

I think there is a difference between being aware of social injustice and being a doomer. I'm a communist. No one wants societal change more than me, but I'm not going to let the capitalists keep me from being at least a little bit optimistic.

lunarhexagon.bsky.social•64 days ago

I don’t think any of us wouldn’t be bitching and up in arms if we didn’t have some hope.

thenerddown.bsky.social•42 days ago

I have hope. But I do what I can. I shut up about it. There’s no point in fearing what the next headline from the facists in charge is going to be. Because there’s nothing us small people. (Points to all of us here on bluesky, the koolaid heads on truth, or whoever’s left on twitter) can do

thenerddown.bsky.social•42 days ago

I’m not I came here to get away from the rage bait, from either side. I don’t follow him. Came up in the algo. If they had a latest so my page could curated to me and those actually follow that’d be cool.

But that’s here nor there.

Posts like this are just virtue signaling for engagement.

thenerddown.bsky.social•42 days ago

Make change. Don’t just talk about it, I’m not saying Pearlmania is just all talk cause he has done more than 99% that anyone will do. But the doom and gloom helps no one besides perpetuating a nasty cycle of cynicism and complacently.

lunarhexagon.bsky.social•42 days ago

Well, if you were following him, you would know that he’s written to his politicians, and even was asked to talk to the governor of Pennsylvania after the bridge collapse. He went to the Dem Nat Convention, and even ragged on some pols there. His shit isn’t just “rage bait”.

thenerddown.bsky.social•42 days ago

I quite literally said that. I follow him on other social media, not this one.

His shit on social media. Besides when he’s informing people. Is typically rage bait, just like with any other news outlet, doesn’t matter if it’s one person or a conglomerate, everyone has agendas.

tullyundead.bsky.social•64 days ago

Could you not put this into the universe

sissyann.bsky.social•64 days ago

I’m just going to let the chaos wash over me

prisontime4elon.bsky.social•64 days ago

If I don’t watch any news and work out for the next 4 years it could be productive

walterk01.bsky.social•64 days ago

You could end up with some stand up material, but it may not be funny 😐

silver-spyder2025.bsky.social•64 days ago

Im pretty much convinced that life will always be worse and worse. The way the ripples of this administration are going to seep into the next two decades or so is going to wreck life continuously....

bassethounddaddy.bsky.social•64 days ago

I dunno man, 2020 was pretty bad in terms of my lifetime.

strawberrygirl69.bsky.social•64 days ago

I'm a Capricorn, I always expect the worst to happen 💀

sissyann.bsky.social•64 days ago

Oh, is that why we’re so depressed?

strawberrygirl69.bsky.social•64 days ago

pretty much 🤣

iambea4u.bsky.social•63 days ago

That's not an astrological thing, babes. That's a traumatic coping device. (I expect the worst too, I'm a Sag)

strawberrygirl69.bsky.social•63 days ago

trauma 🤝🏽 being a capricorn/sagittarius 💀

neroyuffie.bsky.social•64 days ago

And I'm already jobless. My butt cheeks are fully clenched rn

lauravarual.bsky.social•64 days ago

Not necessarily worst. Probably hardest year though.

ridingwitheking.bsky.social•64 days ago

The amount of violence is disturbing

pickagoodname.bsky.social•64 days ago

I've been practicing burying the bar, but if it's go time, BURY IT! (So everything is a pleasant surprise.)

jesssicahhhhhh.bsky.social•64 days ago

I'm hoping 2028 is the worst so at least I get some more time on this earth. If 2025 goes the way I'm worried about I doubt I'll be around for 2026.

I used to think 2016 was the worst year, how silly!

lunarhexagon.bsky.social•64 days ago

It’s really just been getting worse and worse from 2016 on. It just seems so much worse now because people aren’t even ignoring bad shit anymore. It’s like “yeah? Ok? So, what can you do about it? Nothing? Yeah, that tracks”

glacecakes.bsky.social•64 days ago

I’m shocked how collapse has gone from fringe internet theory to basically reality in the last 8 years

asciim0v.bsky.social•64 days ago

Worst year of your life, bud. I'm gonna show my dick on the internet and make it my best.

sissyann.bsky.social•64 days ago

I love your optimism

asciim0v.bsky.social•64 days ago

that's the response I'm hoping my dick gets

ms-majima.bsky.social•64 days ago

This kind of commentary just encourages me to unplug. It's not useful. We're in samsara and it's your choice how you want to look at it. More books, less this.
