assholocene:

'The earliest citation I’ve found is from a June 25, 2023, Urban Dictionary entry: “the current period of human history in which people in power tend to be assholes.”'

I found a 17th February 2014:

“Paleontologists of SFWA will one day refer to this as the Assholocene Era … ”

Quoting an unknown poster on a Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America newsgroup:
