According to the article, Musk is the ideas guy and it's her job to implement them. So when Twitter fails, he'll say the ideas were great, it was an execution problem.

She probably figures at her next job interview she'll say it was a no win situation, but at least she accomplished (something).

Also, "research has indicated that women and other minorities view risky job offers as the only chance they are likely to get" -Wikipedia

Clickbait. The writer is comparing historically-important books that are taught in literature classes to more modern books that can be read for fun.

Sure, we all read stuff for fun, that doesn't mean the books studied in literature classes are overrated.

Looks like OP just added the title.

I can't make out what's in her hand. A watch? The medals left by her dead father? The tiny suspenders of her child who died at a young age?

A fair-minded article. This sounded off though:

a big attraction of Reddit—that its main page is a kind of greatest hits of an enormous community.

No, r/all was the lowest common denominator, full of karmafarming, ragebait, and reposts. Every time I looked at r/all I regretted it, so I mostly stuck to subreddits.

Hmmm... maybe something involving "false dichotomy", "Sysyphus", "pestering", "options", "forced politeness", ...

Every time I go to the ATM to get cash it shows me an ad for a service and the options are "Yes" and "No thanks."

I am forced to choose one. I am forced to thank them for showing me an ad before they give me my own money.

the data vultures love this sort of “non-confrontational on surface, but bossy upon analysis” discourse.

We need a simple name for this, like we have for enshittification or shrinkflation.
