This genre of anecdote won Ta-Nehisi Coates a $625,000 MacArthur Genius Grant for his tale of an Upper West Side white lady who was mean to his son on an escalator.

Did Tinder Play a Role in the Liberal Female Psychological Meltdown That Began Around 2013?
• October 13, 2018
• 100 Words • 154 Comments • Reply
Tinder is a popular smartphone dating app for heterosexuals modeled upon the earlier gay male app Grindr. The notion that imposing a male homosexual approach upon how heterosexuals meet the opposite sex could be bad for the happiness of heterosexuals is of course inconceivable! (But it also sounds pretty plausible.)
