I am ashamed that I actually considered a post about the kerfuffle at the Oscar's. Then I heard

my adult self saying "With all of the crucially important life-changing events taking place in this world, that's all ya got?"

I decided to post this instead.

Sitting at a computer watching a war is much more important than sitting at a computer discussing the Oscars.

Our computer and phone scrolling is a precious resource and must only be doled out on topics of substance.

Now watch me post these tweets.

Unless someone's posting from Ukraine.

In which case I'd think those posts would be more popular.

Wow, one rich dingus slapped another rich dingus at an outdated awards ceremony full of rich dinguses. But hey, apparently more important than war crimes, refugees, possibly WWIII, Central American crises and refugees, Dreamers, the pandemic, midterms, the budget, reproductive rights…
