The Collapse of American Politics - Ezra Klein - #1114

Ezra Klein, so hot right now. Oh no. Did you ever expect to be referred to as an unlikely thirst trap? I did not, and uh I try to ignore that it's happening. It also has this funny quality, some of this coverage of how now it's like I took off my glasses and grew a beard, and it's very she's all that.

It's like, oh, like maybe he's I always look the same to me. Well, an unlikely thirst trap feels like the most backhanded insult or compliment. I it's like a Rorschach test for whether or not you feel good about yourself. I don't know what way that's is that is that supposed to be a nice thing?

Unlikely thirst trap. I don't when you are profiled, it is not supposed to be a nice thing. Okay, so you'll take unlikely thirst trap. I think that's like also an important thing to know about just like the whole genre of profiling. It's never supposed to be a totally nice thing, usually not supposed to be a totally mean thing.
