“Nuance is anathema to his thinking, which is why he can maintain such fidelity to his ideas in a-hundred-and-forty-character bursts.”
Jelani Cobb

“The singular virtue of the [Twitter] fiasco over which [Elon] Musk has presided is the possibility that the outcome will sever, at least temporarily, the American conflation of wealth with intellect. Market valuation is not proof of genius.”
Jelani Cobb

“The most important step toward domestic peace is an act of will; this country can do for its people what it chooses to do.”
Jelani Cobb, The Essential Kerner Commission Report
