gyre

Even if the gyre of contemporary fandom demands mess, spite, flops and redemption arcs, Lipa glides over all of it, with morally sound politics and an immaculately tasteful book club to spare.

The “widening gyre” foretells the polarization of society, the centrifugal forces tearing the collective fabric into ideological extremes.

And it eventually became a much-needed daily dose of serenity to keep the widening gyre of anxiety at bay.

Watching the gyre of emotions on campuses from Connecticut to California, those words feel as if they could have been written this week.

They were carried to the South Pacific by the South Pacific gyre, a circular ocean current.
