Looking at martinayotte‘s suggestions, since he seems to have been through what I’m going through right now…
root@nems:/boot# grep CONFIG_FSL_ERRATUM_A008585 /boot/config-4.14.26 # CONFIG_FSL_ERRATUM_A008585 is not set
Okay, so just in case they fixed it already, let’s just try…

Hmm, it seems apt doesn’t like time travelers like me. So … [le gasp]…

Wait for it….

Like trying to play my 8-track cassettes in a Blu-Ray player, apparently some services don’t play nicely 95 years in the future. DHCP is showing locally on the TTY splash screen as 127.0.0.1, and the only way to recover will be to re-flash to a point before the NTP issue struck.
What’s next? Read Part 4:
NTP on Debian reporting 95 years in the future – Part 4: Back To The Past
