@SubwayTakes@JLo Most Subway Takes are a perfect example of political horseshoe theory. You really can get so performatively woke that you end up circling right back to conservatism.
blogged about the nba finals--specifically, about coming to peace with the knicks' success despite my being from The Global New Jersey, a place that you may be from, too, whether you realize it or not https://t.co/mp7caqekcK
โI understand that I am preaching modesty and connection at a time when this is not in style. We are living through a period of extreme narcissism. Our current leadership in Washington believes that empathy is a weakness and that our nation stands supreme and alone. Add to that, everyone here today has a phone in their pocket that is algorithmically programmed to celebrate you and you alone by making you the protein-maxing hero of your own special journey.
Much has been written about how isolated and siloed weโve become, but for me, the antidote is quite simple. By de-emphasizing what makes us special โ in your case, a prized degree โ we can really find one another, not as an exercise in virtue, but as a path towards greater laughter, love, and real growth.โ
