Today was the eclipse. Where I live, we got to experience 98% obstruction. Pretty cool.
Now - I don't have Facebook or any social media, but my wife does. She shared some pre-eclipse posts from her feed with me. They said things like...
"Am I the only one who doesn't care to watch the eclipse today?"
"It's a solar eclipse, people. Big deal. No reason to lose your minds."
"Why is everyone so desperate to get eclipse glasses? I just don't see what the big deal is."
Hello you jaded, narcissistic facebook twits!
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to see a solar eclipse from your own backyard. I'm not supposed to care? But I'm supposed to *like* the picture you put up of the dessert you were served at last night's dinner? I'm supposed to comment on your daughter's subpar performance at her lousy dance recital - something millions of little girls do every year? I'm supposed to like your low-effort meme posting that you scraped off someone else's site? I give a crap about your half-baked ideas on issues you clearly don't even remotely understand?
Ah, yes. Pay no attention to the celestial event of the century. Listen to me, Me, ME!!!
God, I'm glad I don't have social media. One thing is for certain: I'd have no friends because I'd call them all out on their BS.
Goodbye you jaded, narcissistic facebook twits!
