"Make America Healthy Again" has always meant "bring back eugenics."

I think you've pretty much got it. It's a way to communicate that you're thinking hard. It helps the speaker know what effect they're having on the audience - if a lot of people looked confused or bored, the lecturer might adjust their delivery.

My LinkedIn feed is overflowing with executives unabashedly posting their navel-gazing chats with bots.

"What would you look like?" "What is it like to be you?"

They're just so excited to finally have a friend at work, I think.

If I'm paying to start working for you, you'd better sign a contract guaranteeing my long term employment at a high salary. Otherwise, what's to stop you from laying me off the second I'm done paying you?

I'm so tired of these grifters.

Politicians keep passing gas tax holidays too, to keep people happy.

People love to do activities where their efforts and rewards have a strong correlation to each other. Athletics are an activity where hard work pays off. That's rare at a job.

We elect world leaders who don't know anything about any of those things. Why shouldn't a singer or actor use their voice, too? At least they had the discipline to learn a craft.

This is a very broad question. But broadly, I think if you're an artist, you probably got where you are by sharing your point of view with your audience in an authentic way. If you're going to let fear of disapproval stop you from doing that, you might as well quit anyway.

If the tour gets canceled, Ed still has a public voice that people actually listen to. He could try to turn his fans on the owners of the venues, and what are they going to say? No one cares what some glorified landlord thinks or feels.

This was cowardly of him, and he'll have to live with the fact that he could have been a man and wasn't.

What did they think he was going to do? Palestine has been Macklemore's whole thing for a few years, now. When they booked him in the first place, did they think he'd just play Thrift Shop 5 times a night or something?

Maybe try to find people to study with. Preferably from your class, but even setting up a few hours a week with any other students to have coffee together and just read in a quiet space can help you stay on task. Make use of your library and treat it like a job.

People spend too much time doing everything in the same physical space, and having books downloaded on devices doesn't help at all. How is your boring textbook supposed to compete with the universe of more attractive activities on your computer? Create an environment for yourself that facilitates study. Structure your life around it.
