Ever caught yourself rolling your eyes so hard at someone's social media post that you feared they might get stuck? That's exactly the feeling that inspired "I'm Judging You." In our hyper-connected world-where babies have Instagram accounts before they can walk and world leaders conduct diplomacy via tweet-many people seem to have missed the memo on basic decency. With razor-sharp wit and unflinching honesty, this cultural critique delivers the shade we all secretly wish we could give to the logic-deficient people around us. Whether you're cringing at friends oversharing on Facebook or questioning society's deep-seated prejudices, this commentary feels like that brutally honest conversation you've been dying to have with your smartest, funniest friend. Because sometimes, judgment isn't just necessary-it's an art form.
