What a weird planet we live on. War breaking out in various parts of the world. Global warming. Mass emigration from poor and getting poorer countries to the richer ones. Melting ice caps. Degradation of the oceans.

The rich getter richer and the poor getting steadily poorer. The rise of popularism and right-wing Neo-cons. Truth is lies and lies are truth. Fake news is real news and real news is fake news.

So which of the following topics are trending on the internet? How about none! These are just a few of many, many trending topics as of today’s date. I guess if I check tomorrow, they will have changed.

  • Black Panther has caused a rise in black cat adoptions
  • Donald Trump
  • Glow in the dark don-nuts
  • Newfound love for GIFs
  • Memes
  • New ways to be seen and heard
  • Overcharging on Social Media
  • Shoplifter calls Uber as a getaway car
  • Tim Apple
  • Hashtag — a world without Twitter
