"My former consort has been bitching that I'm squandering my "gift for snark" by focusing on politics and not the food world. When I'm not quite sure what the latter even is anymore. Influencers? (AKA "Instatrappers"?) So I thought I'd weigh in on the bat-guano insanity of Dash's joint running a huge spread on what people eat at the Met (opera, not museum) in the middle of a government shutdown when desperation was rampant at food banks and pantries."
"Was it because the recipe app with an agenda sold an ad for a Broadway show? Whatever. It all had the feel of a Gatsby-themed party: "Let 'em vicariously eat crab cakes." Which makes my point on my former consort's other complaint: "Regina makes everything about politics." Because everything is about politics. And if you don't believe me, consider what a bad penny turned up at Mar-a-Pedo the other night: the Butter Guzzler. Once she was shunned for being a brazen racist."
A former consort criticizes focusing on politics rather than the food world, calling the speaker's "gift for snark" squandered. Uncertainty surrounds what constitutes the food world, with influencers labeled "Instatrappers." A large feature on what people ate at the Met (opera, not museum) ran during a government shutdown while food banks and pantries faced desperation. A recipe app with an agenda may have run ads tied to Broadway, producing a Gatsby-like spectacle of vicarious indulgence. The speaker asserts that politics underlie cultural choices. A controversial figure once shunned for racism reappeared at Mar-a-Pedo, now socially accepted by the thin crowd.
