If you want to know why Yang gets so much support from random cohorts with nothing in common, it’s not UBI. It’s his refusal to play the cheap media game. People are exhausted by it. They want to stop being told to hate their neighbors and that every news development is doom.

HELP WANTED: What is the best term to coin for the phenomenon wherein exes use coronavirus as an excuse to hit you up and rekindle things? The majority of unmarried women in their 30s/40s I know have been experiencing this and we need a word for it. Bad puns a plus.

One of the unexpectedly cool things about @AndrewYang running for President is that he seems to actually have a lot of fun doing it.

One of the major things that drew me to @andrewyang ’s candidacy was his backstory. He WASN’T just an achievement-obsessed brown-noser with cloyingly transparent political ambitions. He was a goth in high school! And he quit his fancy job because it sucked. It’s so freaking human.
