In the past, when people disagreed with my judgement, I simply ripped the still beating heart from the chest of their leader and devoured it as their followers watched on in horror. Problem solved. I miss the simplicity of the past. These days, with social media and its ability to force people into increasingly limited silos of curated information, I can't just feast on a few entrails and expect word of mouth to do the rest. Now it's all emails, Zoom meetings, and media hits on Fox News or...sigh...Tucker Carlson's Twitter show. Yes, I said Twitter! Not X. X is a stupid name. If not for my near limitless power, the vast hoard of riches lying in the bowels of my secret fortress on Skull Island, and my Precious Moments collection, my life and its problems might seem as inconsequential as yours.
