In California, on the Berkeley campus, I encountered a strange device. I’m walking and see a box on wheels rolling down the street, a small self-propelled box that looks like a portable refrigerator. She drives, occasionally slowing down to let pedestrians pass, and stops at a traffic light in front of the roadway. What is this? I walk over and stand right in front of the box.

Many events took place there at the end of 2019, but perhaps the most exotic was the one-day festival “Sex vs. Gender,” invented and implemented by Transformer commissioner Vsevolod Lisovsky.

Blesener S. Toy Soldiers, 2017 “War was—and still is—the most magnetic (and picturesque) news story, along with its invaluable substitute, international sport,” wrote Susan Sontag.
