three unrelated things went viral simultaneously, nobody knows why
A screenshot of a trending topics dashboard so aggressively normal it loops back around to being sad. JavaScript, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, and the Spanish Prime Minister all trending at once—the algorithmic equivalent of throwing darts at a geopolitical bulletin board.

The dashboard itself is so competently designed it only highlights how meaningless the content beneath it truly is.
