Apropro of nothing, here is some ramen I made for dinner tonight and anyone who makes a passable ramen while having kids under 5 years old should receive a prize.

Patel is a “loyalist.” A Nazi salute is a “provocative gesture.” Darkness is “good.” Vaguely-purposed govt-run camps for Black youth are “reparenting farms.” I mean, I don’t know. Up is down? Night is day? Ice cream for dinner? Screentime all day, kids. Anything goes in Trump/Musk’s America!

I wonder how many people’s first post on here is “well, i guess I’ll give this a try.” It’s like saying “is this thing on?” into a mic or “I don’t usually post selfies but here’s a selfie.”

I just keep hoping social media will return to its apex form: Xanga, c. 2004.
