LA Metro A Line in transit in the middle of a large Los Angeles freeway.
Screenshot of a throot from the verified Hoda and Jenna Threads account. In the throot, they say "Real 😂" and ask "What's your favorite party dish?👇", with an attached three-panel screen montage from their live show of the hosts talking about their favorite party dishes. For some inexplicable reason, Hoda is laughing hysterically as she responds "Chips and onion dip". Also, for reasons that are not immediately transparent, Jenna is laughing at the fact that Hoda's favorite party dish is "Chips and onion dip". The lighting, laughter, and entire vibe of the image is extremely off-putting and cursed. Several earnest replies from fans of the show are also in the screenshot ("artichoke dip!", "truffle popcorn!"). Reading perhaps too far between the lines, we might notice that the inexplicable laughter, glossy and abundant lighting, perfectly coiffed hairstyles, and earnestness present in this image belie a poignant manifestation of the subtle, subversive influence of corporate propaganda
