63% Informative
LZ Granderson : I have a hard time maintaining male friendships these days .
He says he has at least 10 group chats with different circles of friends.
LZ: My whole social life revolves around screens now. I watch a show or a baseball game and then retreat into my other, smaller screen to discuss what I just witnessed with people I almost never see in real life. Maybe this is a superior way of maintaining relationships. By only seeing my friends on very rare occasions, I can’t get sick of their personality quirks.
Unlike most of my friendships, Trump and Musk ’s partnership is highly transactional.
Some of my male friendships fall away just out of mutual lack of interest, says Dave Schilling .
Trump, Musk will always need each other in one form or another, Schilling says.
