So I drafted an entire response to a podcast episode where I point out where I agree and disagree and ruminate. A link post. Everyone thinks link blogs are great until you realize the person annotating the links might not even have a good high school understanding of world history or global politics and then you can’t stop seeing all their faults and it constantly rankles you. One should try to be less rankled.
I’m always rankled about something.
Rankled.
Rankle.
Oxford says, “(Of a comment, event, or fact) cause annoyance or resentment that persists,” “(with object) annoy or irritate (someone),” and, “(of a wound or sore) continue to be painful; fester.” I’m a mix of all three.
But I also don’t like glib podcast commentary. Not word constrained. Maybe not public-facing either.
