@ItsMissRiss Oh no....too real.... πŸ˜‚
@ItsMissRiss I call 2016 the beginning of the downfall era
@JamesTDG Nah, things were definitely bad before then. It didn’t just start in 2016.
@ItsMissRiss that took me a second but I got there
@ItsMissRiss When do we get to sing the songs that remind us of the good times?
@ItsMissRiss LOL Not a bad song to have stuck in my head but it's gonna be there all day long ty🀣

@ItsMissRiss When do we get to the point where we're singing songs which remind us of better times (which turn out to be funeral songs)?
@ItsMissRiss where's chumbawumba when you need them???????
@ItsMissRiss 2016 wasn’t so bad. We the summmer of PokΓ©mon and then everything started going to shit
@ItsMissRiss 2022 has been far worse for me than 2020 or 2021. I’m afraid of 2023!
@ItsMissRiss
2025: Sing the songs that remind you of the good times
2026: Sing the songs that remind you of the better times
@ItsMissRiss When do we get to "pissing the night away"?
@ItsMissRiss @drreznicek going by the time line, 2025? 2026 is looking like a great time to get back up again with 2027 the year of never gonna be kept down.
@Chris_MS @ItsMissRiss And then we move from the Chumbawumba phase to the Rick Astley phase?
@Chris_MS @drreznicek need to sing them songs that remind us of the good times and the better times to unlock the next achievement, I think
@ItsMissRiss At this point we all should get another whiskey, vodka, lager and cider for every week of 2023. :-D

@ItsMissRiss My wiseass hubby's version:

"I get knocked up, but I get down again...." πŸ˜‚

@ItsMissRiss I’m holding out hope for a new cycle of 🎢 happy days are here again 🎢 … any year now 🀞 one of these decades soon πŸ”œ
@ItsMissRiss okay, so mastodon IS actually better than twitter.
@ItsMissRiss @bitbear Thanks for getting that song stuck in my head for the hundredth time this year lmao
@ItsMissRiss you and I followed on Twitter but since I was nuked twice every year I just felt pathetic telling people all over again I have new handle,I know Nina was too but 20 times is just to much, probably know every single leftist worth knowing there
@ItsMissRiss I love this so much πŸ˜‚

@ItsMissRiss Ah yes, the old joke now feels out of date, doesn't it:

History class, circa 2100. Last lesson on Friday is packing up.

Teacher: OK class, we've finished 2015, next week we'll start on 2017.

Class: Please Miss, what about 2016?

Teacher (hushed voice): We don't talk about 2016.
