Condolences on the immediate situation. It will get better.
I'd guess you're feeling stressed, and maybe your resilience (which is good) has you leaning on your sense of humor. And that humor can get mixed with stress and defensiveness, for some odd combinations.
The resume probably isn't the place for that resilience exercise. You have experience to be proud of, so try to focus on that, and not feel insecure. (Similarly, don't have "lost" in your email address.)
Think of your resume as a place to show competence and corporate decorum. Imagine that some of the people looking at your resume are looking for red flags more than anything else. Also, imagine people who want to hire you, but it's easier and lower risk for them, if the resume that corporate looks at and files away doesn't have red flags in it.
Also: sadly, ageism is a thing. Most techbros don't want to see "20+ years" of experience. Maybe cut the "BUZZWORDS" section entirely.
I'm not an expert on this, but you might want to just start with the "EXPERIENCE" section (with your current good bulletpoints, and keywords, for each job). Then add on a section after that for any selling points that can't be put under "EXPERIENCE", such as independent projects. Name, city, and contact info at top. And delete everything else. If it fits on one page, all the better.
Maybe think of your resume as projecting the confident image you'd like to have right now, not the resilient humor that feels necessary right now.
Good luck. There's good stuff in your resume, and you can do it.
