It was bad before COVID but is increasingly getting worse—especially people at the movies acting like it's their living room. Also seeing even more "Is this your first time at the Post Office" stuff than before, and from grown-ass people who surely couldn't have avoided going there their whole life.
Can't remember if it was this bad before COVID but I'm seeing an alarming spreading of what I'll call Airport Behavior to other public places. Obliviousness to other people's existence, ineptitude at navigating the environment. "Is this your first time at the grocery store" type stuff

PREACH, RICK STEVES!
For God’s sake, take the politics out of funding medical research, embrace science, pay for it with taxes…and only then can you truly call yourself “pro-life.”

The humble em dash is being used as a tell that something is written by a large language model. But it’s James Shackell’s favourite piece of punctuation, and he’s not ready to lose it

Today on NHK, in addition to learning about Hiroshima and its historic streetcars, I learned there is a band called PornoGraffitti. And, yes, according to Wikipedia, they are indeed named after the 1990 album by Extreme and have been active since 1994.

Nobody is “forcing” you to check out books you don’t want to read at a library.
But people are forcing libraries to keep you from checking out books.

If you are tired
of telling your friends
that you’d rather not go out
because there’s a pandemic
and you’re trying to avoid
getting sick,
instead, just tell them
that you’d rather not go out
because a recession’s coming
as you’re trying to avoid
spending money.
