I Believe... [Being Seen]

...that Bo Burnham: Inside is less a comedy special than a histrionic horror fable about one person’s inability to be alone for an extended period of time. Like Room except there are no locks on the door. The bit about FaceTiming his Mom is funny, though.

...that the cost of being seen is that you might actually be seen.

...that the bait and switch of Frontier Airlines when it comes to luggage is so pernicious that I’ll be flying to Kansas wearing nothing but a g-string to avoid all the add-on fees.

...that K-12 education should teach children how to do things and how to think critically, not what things to do or what things to think.

...that corporate diversity training, already consistently proven to be completely ineffective in combatting workplace sexism and racism, is the the billion dollar grift of the quasi-religious extorting companies who refuse to do anything else to address their own internal personnel issues.
