    Something I noticed on the article for The Power Broker recently:

    In 2020, the book made frequent appearances as a status symbol on the bookshelves of U.S. journalists and politicians appearing in TV interviews from their homes during the COVID-19 pandemic.

    The word escapes me - for when you feel such an eyerolling sense of cynicism for the theatrics and performative bullshit and the hoops that these circus acts jump through for the sake of 'optics'.
