OK, this Tucker Carlson impression on Saturday Night Live last night is uncanny! Has all the verbal tics and go-to phrases down, and nails the high-pitch cackle.

"Depends on who you ask" framing is one of the most grating tics in modern political journalism. Objective reality exists and your job is to describe it.

one of my least favorite tics of online lefty discourse is that if you talk about something that affects you and people don't care they will say you are "centering" yourself instead of saying they don't care
