I have to spend most of the day staring at the wire to make sure the most insane stories come your way.
But sometimes, I don't have to work that hard.
That right there is just the peak of clown world.
Really take a moment to savor it, my friends. If this metaphor of civilizational decay was a cigar, you could smoke it all day long.
A woman who allegedly married herself has instigated divorce proceedings after spending just one day in her own company.
Sofi Maure first announced the move back in February, alongside photos of herself in a long white veil and gold tiara.
The 25-year-old, who has over 500,000 followers on Twitter and Instagram, revealed that she had bought a wedding dress and baked a cake to celebrate the big day.
"Today, in the most spurious moments of my life, I bought a wedding dress and cooked a wedding cake to marry myself," she said.
Social media users had strong thoughts about her decision with some supporting Sofi, while others said the whole thing was for "attention".
Well duh.
Of course it was for attention.
We're having a conversation about it right now, aren't we?
Despite the support from some followers, it seems the loved-up solo bride was soon left questioning her commitment - as just a day later, on 20 February, she declared that divorce was imminent.
"Update: one day I'm married to myself and I can't take it anymore, I'm seeing how the divorce issue is just in case," she said.
In years past, you could easily chalk this up as a joke.
And it still is!
But nowadays, it's not the funny kind of joke.
