And yet, here you are complaining about it to the media. Seems like you might actually care a little. Methinks the "intellectual dark web" doth protest too much.



Well, he is saying that he cares about it.

Accidentally, by mangling an idiom, but still.

I think David Mitchell has a thing about this?

I love David Mitchell's rants. My favorite is his rant on tax avoidance. [1]

Off topic:

"I could care less.”

I was under the impression only Americans use that phase, and others like Brits and Canadians would use I couldn't care less.


Just like "irregardless" and "all intensive purposes", I've heard/read it so many times it doesn't even register anymore.
