On Thursday, tens of millions of Americans will partake in a national ritual many of us say we don’t especially enjoy or find meaning in.

Not to brag, but I’m pretty good in the kitchen; I love a complex pastry project, ferment things with relish (sorry), and am probably above-average at emulsifying a sauce.

Americans have never been more polarized, and we dislike each other on partisan grounds now more than ever.

Measles, mumps, and polio are supposed to be diseases of the past.
