Alt: A meme of Tom Hardy as the titular Max in ‘Mad Max: Fury Road’ shaking his head in resigned frustration, pointing upwards and declaring “that’s bait.” In posting this, however, have I not also taken the bait? Have I not succumbed to the same fate I’ve tried to warn others against? Is this how Cassandra felt, her prophecies going unfulfilled again and again? Truly, this is what it sounds like when doves cry.
