This article from January 2019 is the most read article on the Washington Post site today. I wonder why?

I guess WaPo correctly anticipated that the time was right to invite people, once again, to consider cutting off contact with relatives. It's kind of coronavirus-y:

Ten years ago, after decades of bitter fights and lukewarm reconciliations, I finally got the courage to cut off my mother completely. Our relationship brought me nothing but nuclear-level angst.

Your relationship brought you your entire life, but why fuss over technicalities?

After even the smallest interaction — an email or text message — I’d have panic attacks that lasted weeks. I’d stop sleeping, eat too much, fall through a wormhole into utter self-loathing.

Is this what we're identifying with today?

The cultural narrative around estrangement is that it’s a problem that needs to be solved.... I’ve interviewed more than 50 people who have estranged themselves from family members, and I have yet to meet a single one who regrets it. They regret whatever situation made it necessary. They regret not having a parent/sibling/family member they could come to terms with. They regret that their problems were severe enough to make estrangement look good. But they don’t regret doing it.

So every single one correctly judged the situation to be beyond finding a way to come together? Correct enough that they couldn't question their own judgment.

I have mixed feelings about Dr. Fauci.

I have mixed feelings about Dr. Fauci.

I assume those mixed feelings are:

1. Admiration
and
2. Sympathy

Anyone, no matter how obliquely, who helps to further expose Trump's stupidity deserves a round of applause. Unquestionably.

But, Dr. Fauci comes with baggage. As most of us do, I daresay.
