You can see that on full display in the "Anti Gravity" humor column this month. The columnist is writing about how modern medicine and technology would have changed the story line of the opera La Bohème; he mentions that one of the characters coughs in the show and explains the significance of that by saying it is equivalent to "wearing a red shirt in a Star Trek landing party."
(OK, maybe it's not that funny.)

If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.
