I go to bed for 10 hours and WHAT THE FUCK, WORLD NEWS?!?

BRB, adding "suicide bombers attack Mar-a-Lago" and "Trump starts nuclear war in Middle East" to my bingo card squares for 2025/26.

I'm almost afraid to ask what's happened and definitely too anxious to turn the news on to find out. Do you have a pared down, optimistic version you can share?

@calum A couple of months ago, Jared Kushner cut some kind of deal to build hotels in the Gaza Strip (for a lot of money). Trump just announced the USA is going to take over Gaza and relocate everyone who lives there with extreme prejudice. (Betcha the palestinians won't be getting US passports …) He's announced ethnic cleansing, basically. In public, with Netanyahu at his side.

@manna @calum Just remember later all of this happened in *the first month*.

I now expect Elon to end up in front of a firing squad or hanging from a lamppost. (Unless Moscow Rules apply and he splats himself by falling out of a basement window. In a building with no basement.)

@calum I am starting to think we need a therapy form where we collectively write or design either fictious futures for todays evil overlords. Where bad luck and dull scissors and cat puke in their shoes gives us a feeling of revenge. And their ultimate demise too.

And creating worlds, utopias and communities that love and take care, where acceptance and kindness is the form of rebellion, not war making.

We are bombarded with fear. Kitten pics are not enough.

@calum Also yeah, windows are very dangerous. How are they allowed! We should have safety rules for windows.

@manna I'm going back to bed. Wake me 10mins before the apocalypse so I have time to pee.

@calum I bet all those folks who voted for trump (or abstained) because of Biden's handling of Gaza are happy now.

So many of us tried to warn them. We knew something like this crap would happen.

I am... so tired.

Well, Israel spent over a year trying to clear out Gaza, so he may well go straight for the nuclear option

Meanwhile, all the American Muslims who refused to vote for Harris because of Gaza are shocked the leopards are eating their faces.
This is who Trump has always been, anyone who’s surprised hasn’t been paying attention…for decades.

Yeah, I think these guys are feeling the same: youtu.be/tZoHb2ZdlVw?si=xvmfLk… (some things are now so plausible that even spoofs feel real)

You might want to add
"Your pet is part of a cyberattack" to the bingo card.
