Stellar article. A lot of the common refrains around the death of journalism, but then you sprinkle in so many unique observations and expansions on ideas I hadn’t considered before. Also your writing is stunning, but my wife would like me to tell you that anorexia and bulimia are not typically considered metabolic diseases lol

Touché! Please tell your wife she’s officially caught me committing metaphorical malpractice. I’ll accept the charge of using “metabolic disorder” the way lazy journalists use “existential crisis.” 😁

As for the rest, I suppose this essay is just me rearranging the clichés before setting them on fire. Glad some of the smoke signals made sense.
