Mother Was a Winemom

"Mother was a winemom.... And a girlboss. One night she turns on the news, drunker than usual. Ruth Bader Ginsburg died. She wanted to tweet my reaction as her 7 year old son, I told her I wanted to watch SpongeBob. Mommy didn't like that. Not. One. Bit."

The Joker from The Dark Knight stares intensely while a caption describes a mother who is upset that her seven-year-old son cares more about watching SpongeBob than reacting to Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s death. The joke comes from the absurdly dramatic contrast between a child’s innocent priorities and the mother’s intense political expectations, making the image useful as an exaggerated reaction to being judged for not caring about something serious.
