So, (not wishing to derail a thread on my first day) about these here Karens --
I've heard of the "thing" before, whether as a poster-child for entitled meanness or a mere gag, but I never actually thought about it.
That article on the possible origins was interesting in that, it seems, other people have thought about it, even been fascinated by, but don't really know what it's about.
I find that troubling: Do we demonize an ever-larger segment of the population, without knowing why we're impelled to do it?
More troubling is the electronic culture that can turn a merely annoying cultural blip into a wide-spread viral meme.
This well and truly is The Age of Pandemics.
