When I first got on to Instagram a few years ago, I went to the "search" page and the company already offered me lots of images to look at. Apparently some people or things are "trending" and they're presented to you even if they're not the sorts of things you post or that you'd have otherwise shown an interest in.
At the time, there were lots of pictures of a WWE female wrestler named Rhea Ripley (who has impressive shoulders) and, also, pictures of a female singer named Doja Cat. I don't know why Rhea Ripley was trending, but Doja Cat was then currently on tour.
Over the years, along with my searches for cartoonists and friends I notice brief waves of images of various celebrities coming and going. And, for the past couple of months it's been this young woman named Sabrina Carpenter who has had a big hit with the song "Espresso" which I still haven't listened to. She appears to be a tiny thing who likes to have a lot of fun and is automatically friends with lots of already established pop-culture celebrity giants. Some unasked for pop-culture headline on my browser homepage described "Espresso" as enjoyable, meaningless fun.
Good for her.
I like a good time as much as the next person. We can't spend all our time on doom and gloom. We don't all have to be saints wearing hair shirts until peace and social justice have been achieved. So, I personally have nothing against Sabrina Carpenter. It's just that watching all these pop-culture figures and events going on while Israel is perpetrating a hideous genocide of the Palestinian people, and our own political leaders are providing Israel with diplomatic cover and (especially in the case of the USA, financial and military support without which the genocide couldn't even be carried out) makes me a little nauseous.
