Palpable cognitive dissonance. The number of (fellow) immigrants I have heard expressing anti-immigration sentiment is incomprehensible and disturbing.

Well deserved. This book was a hit in our household

Listener “John of Coburg” deserves credit for coining the word for someone who attracts undue praise: a SCAPEGLOAT

I broke my leg at 12 and thought being a doctor seemed helpful. Now after treating thousands of patients, I know the truth: Prevention beats treatment. Community beats isolation. Small habits beat big gestures. Parkrun teaches all three.
