This week, Donald Trump pardoned another dead person to score political points with anti-choice activists, two maniacs won Republican Congressional primaries in Florida and Georgia, and the CEO of MyPillow is touting a new-yet-unproven miracle cure for Covid-19. A Melbourne artist is self-inseminating for a lockdown livestream performance art piece. To top it off–quite literally–we’re in the throes of a global pepperoni shortage.  Finally, for our Summer Music Series we discuss another Italian adaptation, Laura Branigan’s 1984 hit, “Self Control.”
