I finished "The Virologist" over lunch today. One phrase in the article tickles me: "memes with momentum." I like the alliteration, (I really don't understand what a meme is, even though Katherine, or somebody, explained it to me once a long time ago, during some election cycle, but I'm not bothered by my lack of understanding.)
Another thing about this article is that for some reason, while reading it, I found myself reflecting on the fact that there are now adults who have no personal experience of the predigital world.
I also read David Sedaris' piece. That leaves me with the Armenian genocide article to read; that one looks very long.
