In 79 AD, a man’s brain turned to glass. No, seriously. When Mount Vesuvius exploded, it unleashed a surge of volcanic ash so hot it flash-fried everything in its path. A young man, likely caught mid-scroll on whatever the Roman equivalent of TikTok, had his brain vitrified—literally turned into glass.

And we’re only in the early days of the hellscape that is Trump’s second reign. System shock after system shock—every move seems less like governance and more like demolition. From the whiplash of idiotic tariff games to bans on diversity and humanitarian programs, the administration’s actions aren’t just reckless; they’re calculated. The chaos is the point.
