This work contains essays, editorials, parodies, memoirs, lectures, memoranda and caricatures written since January 8th of 2020. There's no common thread to them, but each contains something that I thought might be of interest to readers. These odds and ends are ordered according to their dates. Although I've updated many of them, observant readers will still find many contradictions between them. Just like everyone else, I am always learning and must change or adjust my beliefs and opinions accordingly. We try, as we must, to develop a science of society; but we are each too small and the world too large for that science ever to be exact. --D.R.H.
