I genuinely thought this was hyperbolic satire.

The world isn't real. This is simply too ridiculous to have happened. I have been in a coma for the last six years and this is all just a weird fantasy playing out in my mind.

Headline was inaccurate - they didn't bomb a place for a gender reveal. Instead they bombed a place that produced blue smoke for some other reason and joked about how it resembling a gender reveal. That's...not better but it's an important distinction - one is blowing shit up to announce it's a boy and the other is blowing shit up to blow shit up and then joking about the color of the smoke.

I had a concussion in 2008 and I’m wondering if I didn’t wake up from it and any day now I’ll wake up in spring 2008.
