prattle

Influencers and phonies and maybe even the occasional real journalist prattle on in the backgrounds of scenes telling people what to think and do, often making things worse.

A rabbit in full formal attire, prattling on about his tardiness?

Even for people who have years of practice declaring Trump a “genius” while he prattles on about bleach injections or pet-eating immigrants, it's getting harder to feign ignorance about basic realities.

The characters chatter and prattle about vampire lore and Anne Rice, “True Blood,” “Twilight” and “Nosferatu.”

I find a similar kind of nonsensical prattle in various corners of our Blue Seattle.
