TikTok and knockoff reels on platforms like Facebook inexplicably highlight these giant subtitles of people talking. Remember when subtitles were for translations of foreign languages?

Ted, I would rate not acknowledging the war crimes of Russian in the face of your consistent and righteous condemnation of Israel’s acts to be slightly “stupider” than captions in English.
That’s not stupidity. You’re thinking of inconsistency or hypocrisy. Which I’ll argue with you about, maybe, if I feel so moved.
I thought the big subtitles were for people who were watching with their volume turned way, way down without ear pods.
