A good DJ doesn’t slam the next song in. They wait for the right bar. Change lands better when it’s timed.

Timing carries as much weight as content. The identical sentence, true both times, lands as help on one bar and as an attack on another, and the difference has nothing to do with the words in it. Somebody who reads the room is not being fake. They are being audible.

Hold what you are about to say until the bar comes around. Not forever, and not as a way of dodging it. Wait for the car ride, the walk out, the hour after the crisis passes, and then say the whole thing.
