On a day in which we mourn the passing of the inimitable Anthony Bourdain and learn that Washington Post columnist Charles Krauthammer has just weeks to live, we’re also reminded, via the cesspool that is Twitter, that there exist on this Earth an inordinate number of assholes—people who revel in the misfortune of anyone they disagree with politically.
If you’re tempted to go down that path, maybe take just a moment to read Ian Marcus Corbin today. “Politics,” he writes, “may be a necessary evil—but talking incessantly about politics and viewing your countrymen solely through a political lens is an evil that we’re actively choosing, day by day. We should stop.”
Okay. Last politics post for a while, folks. Pinky swear.
