<p>Here is an essay by John <span class="h-card"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@gruber" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>gruber</span></a></span> discussing political language while taking down a memo about Minneapolis by Tim Cook of <a href="/tags/apple/" rel="tag">#Apple</a>—however, I am citing it as noteworthy for <a href="/tags/writers/" rel="tag">#writers</a> and <a href="/tags/authors/" rel="tag">#authors</a>. Specific colorful evocative language that leads to readers (or the audience for a speech) to seeing, feeling, even smelling smoke or sweat in a situation, possibly even the fear, is essential and critical to telling a story, or to making an argument. This article is worth your time to read.</p><p><a href="https://daringfireball.net/2026/01/politics_and_the_english_language_january_2026_edition" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="daringfireball.net/2026/01/politics_and_the_english_language_january_2026_edition"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">daringfireball.net/2026/01/pol</span><span class="invisible">itics_and_the_english_language_january_2026_edition</span></a></p><p><a href="/tags/boostingissharing/" rel="tag">#BoostingIsSharing</a> </p><p><a href="/tags/writer/" rel="tag">#writer</a> <a href="/tags/writersofmastodon/" rel="tag">#writersOfMastodon</a> <a href="/tags/writingcommunity/" rel="tag">#writingCommunity</a> <a href="/tags/timcook/" rel="tag">#TimCook</a></p>
