Um... I think they are probably doing it wrong. 😆 #NME

This one would be fun to see with a crowd. Almost makes me wish I wasn't an off the chat introvert.

I'm noticing a trend: everything’s shrinking. My grocery store dropped full-size paper bags for half-size ones. Carbonated water went from 12-packs to 8. TV seasons from 22 episodes to 10. Presidents used to have adult size hands—now, child size.

As a self-described centrist in the old days I would read up on all the candidates and all the issues and make my decisions and vote. But now I can rule out anyone endorsed by the party that is courting Nick Fuentes as an easy no.

Now it's no secret that I'm stupid, but am I supposed to know what an ABB is? It's at a common term that just missed me? No, it's not even clickbait because there's no article. 😕 I am refusing to look it up out of principal.

I think the shutdown just proves that our two-party system is completely and utterly broken and run by absolutely incompetent people at the top. I hope and pray that a sensible third-party will make a foothold that has to be bargained with and bring some sanity to this situation.

I am only a casual fan but I was a little surprised by how introspective and well spoken his response regarding politics was. For the most part I agree and could not have stated it nearly as eloquently.
Nick Cave says he is "neither on the left nor on the right" and "finding both sides indefensible and unrecognisable"
Nick Cave has shared insight on his political outlook, and said that he is "neither on the left nor on the right” as he finds both sides “unrecognisable”.

Age verification feels like the last straw for me. I’d already left social media before Bluesky. It’s friendlier, but recent hostility toward centrists makes me think I’ll check out again soon. Just not worth the hassle.

There are two major design flaws in our species: the worst people achieve the most power and humans tend to be pack animals. Nothing an empathy pill wouldn’t cure. 😄

Maybe an old man gen xer shouldn't be enjoying Dan Da Dan anime but it is so much fun and unpredictable. Of course there is is a few uncomfortable elements because it's Japanese manga/anime. That just comes with the territory. I will take this over. Dredge reality TV any day of the week! #DANDADAN

I really don't care about the promise of jetpacks anymore. I would settle for sanity and temperance in government instead of this Republican - Democrat tug of war we are in I can only hope they pull each other's arms off #Disappointing #Pathetic
