My favorite quote from this piece "You’re not a contradiction in terms when you’re the one writing the terms. It’s a lesson I wish younger people — sorted into boxes not only by social pressure, but by panopticon data miners — understood through experiences beyond life as prey."

This thread has great insights into how humor and “just joking” serve to create in- and out-groups. Also, doesn’t everyone know that Trump has no sense of humor? It’s always about socializing his ideas.

1. I wrote my PhD dissertation on the social function of humor (in literature & film) and here's the thing about "just joking."
