Blinders
Yesterday I was in a dental surgeon's waiting room in an unfamiliar part of town. There were about 12 people in the room. Most were yoots, probably there for braces. Two were the moms of the yoots. Two (including me) were old coots. All of the yoots and yoot-moms were locked into their cellphones, both thumbs tapping. The two old coots were phoneless. Typical.
An unexpected aspect of the yoots was the suddenly universal optical style. One year ago I showed the standard Sorosian glasses:
Those trapezoids are already passe. The ONLY permissible glasses now are Anti-Trump Squares:
All the COOOOOOL persXns, As Seen On TV, are wearing this style. It removes all evidence of gender and species from your appearance, and it blocks your view of reality, focusing solely on the rectangle of the iPhone screen. Tres chic.
