Monitoring cringe has been a reliable preoccupation of online media that scour YouTube and TikTok in order to bring us the latest on what behaviors, styles, hobbies and social habits are thought to be cringe.

The biggest preoccupation in Mariupol is holding on to your home, as most of the property damaged in the Russian bombardment has been demolished, and the cost of living and unemployment has surged.

During Monday's White House announcement, Health Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr noted that prices had been a preoccupation of Democrats and a main target in socialist Senator Bernie Sanders' presidential campaigns.

This preoccupation extends beyond sleep: People are increasingly tracking their steps, heart rate and other metrics sometimes to a point of obsession.

Perhaps as a consequence, it feels rather disjointed, even if some signature preoccupations do emerge.
