Shut Up, Dude: This Week’s Best Comments

Picking a favorite single off Violator is like picking a favorite child. But if I had to pick, I'd probably go with "Policy of Truth," in large part because of the lyrics. I wonder if other listeners like me who heard it as gay teens felt a special sympathy with lines like "hide what you have to hide and tell what you have to tell." Anyway, a clear 10/10 from me.

I hate that I unwillingly have to hear so much about Musk in this social media-enabled age of terminally online robber barons (and their legions of bootlicking lackeys), but if I do have to hear about him, at least it's about him taking a big L like this.
