I’d rather have a boring benefits manager in charge of things than a slightly unhinged zealot promising to overthrow the system and I actually think that’s a pretty normal preference.

One sounds slightly unhinged but full of righteous zeal, on a historic mission to overthrow the system. One sounds like the team explaining your 401K options during the onboarding process. Which provides the more exciting, engaging identity?

It’s a little underrated that Trump’s “big lie” about the 2020 election is first and foremost an op on Republicans to avoid the normal cycle where everyone shits on the guy who blew the election and promising to nominate someone different next time.

The AirPods Max sound really good, would recommend receiving a pair as a birthday present.

You can probably tell I was annoyed with this op-ed. I'm glad they ran the banana quote. foxnews.com/media/new-york…
