There are no lessons to be drawn from 2020 other than depressing lessons.
The Failure of Bernie
We lost! We lost hard and there’s no moral victory to be derived!
The Capitalist Meat Grinder and COVID

Lockdown Instagram and the (sadly temporary) Death of FOMO

George Floyd’s Black Posting Boxes
Ah, yes, when it got bad. The liberal buys indulgences from Robin DeAngelo and learns and feels nothing.
