A collective American identity, glimpsing The Beatles and Margaret Thatcher, clerisy heresy, the lion and the dromedary, and why can’t the broad left of America say “freedom.”

Pre-bunking, Obscurantism, cartoons, censorship, murder, Sacha Baron Cohen as Abbie Hoffman, Billie Eilish, Ice Cube.

Trump’s Covid, Biden’s Court-packing, the falconer named Parrot, the masculinities of Trump and Biden, the eyes of Texas, and fitting a third child into your sedan.

Joe and Hunter Biden, Facebook and Twitter, Chuck Todd and Rachel Maddow, George Floyd and Ice Cube, Generation Alpha, the feminist Medusa monument and the isolated anarchist.

Nyctinasty, Goldfinger as feminist critique, Trump losing to the worst candidate ever, the female Scalia, and agonizing over all those times you might have said “sexual preference.”

Amy Coney Barrett talks to the Senate, Joe Biden talks to an empty rotunda, and Donald Trump wants to kiss everybody.

A firewall of Italianness, the invention of punctuation, toppling Teddy Roosevelt and Lincoln, the propaganda of mid-level violence, chugging cran-raspberry juice, goodbye to Joe Morgan, and doing the camel walk.

Jim Carrey does Biden as Goldblum, Thunberg’s autistic perspective, dying on Mount Katahdin, taking the bar exam while in labor, and wrecking the wrecks.

Dancing the boogaloo, deaccessioning white male art, the truth and the life, the well-regulated militia, the 25th amendment, packing the Court, abstaining in the election, and the immortality of John Lennon

Kidnapping the governor, ousting the ads, honoring the poet, critiquing facelessness, loving free speech, Nicks and the doggface, a safe Peace Prize, namaste.
