We’ve been slowing down for the holiday season ourselves but we’ve also been working on a miniseries that we’ll release sometime in the next month or so. We’re not going to talk about it much. I can hint that it’s centered on the ground shift in longstanding Republican institutions as all the old timers figure out how to deal with all the youths raised by Discord and Pepe memes.

But we’re taking a break from that today to talk about something else we’ve been enjoying for the past year, the coverage of the convicted Jan 6 rioters who got pardoned by Trump and then almost immediately committed new crimes.
