"That funny feeling that doesn't have a name is part dread, part horror, part captivation as you watch through your phone at whatever this is unfolding. It's the sensation of living through a highly dynamic time in history, being swung about by time's paw."
"It's waking up sometimes at 3am to check social media or news websites to see if nuking another country has been casually threatened on Truth Social. It's wondering, How is it only April?"
"It's having pro-Iran AI Lego propaganda songs about the US being run by paedophiles bopping around your head all day long as you go about your day making a hundred mental calculations that revolve around the price of petrol, the expected rise in interest rates and grocery prices."
A pervasive feeling of dread and uncertainty has returned, reminiscent of the early Covid pandemic. This sensation includes horror and captivation as global events unfold unpredictably. Individuals find themselves checking news and social media at odd hours, questioning the seriousness of political leaders' statements. The anxiety extends to concerns about potential global conflict and economic instability, with thoughts consumed by rising costs and geopolitical tensions. The feeling is compounded by the perception that those in power are either irrational or ineffective in addressing these crises.
