They poke fun at the ridiculousness of electric scooters disturbing a peaceful walk home. They explore the devastating toll of gun violence on families. They wonder how a dog must feel now that its owner has returned to the office after a pandemic.

And with a roster hailing from D.C. to Paris to Tokyo and back again, the point of view comes from everywhere. Below, commentary on all things cultural, seasonal and political.
