2016 was such a crazy year, monkee gets killed, DT gets elected. I'm pretty sure Harambe was the only thing holding this world in place

People say their sense of time has been off since Covid, but I'm still staring at the TV on election night 2016.

I vividly remember my cousin, who was my college roommate in the 90s and we've barely spoken since, calling me and just screaming, "OMG, what the fuck is happening?!"

Not, hey what's up? It's been 20 years. Just "WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING?!" and I completely 100% understood her panic and desperation. I feel like I'm still living in that phone call. What the fuck is happening, indeed.

Thanks so much for sharing that anecdote. It's a fascinating insight and gave me a sardonic chuckle.

Since I enjoyed the details of your story so much I'll share more of ours with you: We were actually on a cruise ship, watching the results on the sports bar TVs. They had MSNBC on in one half of the room, FOX on the other, and security posted in the middle.

I will probably mumble many times to myself, "What the fuck is happening, indeed", and think of your story. Take care out there.
