More than a post-truth era, we’re in a post-language era. “Truth” remains as terminally compromised as it has always been. Only the forces undermining it have shifted What is new though is a culture of ugly, joyless abuse of language, subverting and devaluing all fun uses of it

I think I’ve lost about 60% of whatever ear for language I had in the last couple of years due to atmosphere of epidemic language abuse. While many have figured out blunt instrument type usage, only a few like dril have figured out how to play “language” artistically well.
