true! mainstream media seizes upon highly atypical, microscopic samples of an issue that affects virtually no one, amplifies it maniacally, continues to focus upon it as if it were some sort of threat to the commonweal, & not an amplified paranoid-figment of media imagination.

In the future, if anyone ever asks me what the 2020s were like I will tell them, “Well, there was this one day when ‘Armageddon’ was trending on Twitter, but it was trending under ‘politics,’ and everyone was so burnt out that it was only the 29th most trending thing.”

My 9yo Turkish ESL student's favorite movie is Good Bye Lenin, and I wish I could take credit for that, but it's all him.
