Netflix sums it all up with mockumentary Death to 2021: Think Enterprise’s Year in Reviews, only with celebrities, dirty jokes, and a ton of weird interview questions, and you get Death to 2021. The mockumentary looks at the events, trends, and experiences of the past year and explores them through hilarious skits and interviews, delving into topics such as modern-day dating, influencers and cancel culture as well as more political events such as the raid on Capitol Hill and the scuffles within the British royal family. If you’re a fan of dark and audacious humor, you’ll appreciate the mockumentary’s brand of comedy, according to First Post. The one-hour recap of the year is a therapeutic way to laugh at all the chaos 2021 threw at us… and finally say good riddance, they write.

Main dishes include a variety of steaks, a flavorful mushroom risotto, lamb sausages, and seafood flambé which comes with flames rising from the plate. For a sweet treat, try out their creamy tiramisu.

???? UNDER THE LAMPLIGHT-

J. Storrs Hall wonders where the Jetsons era is in his book, Where Is My Flying Car? Flying cars have been expected to arrive any minute now since the 1962 release of the famous animated sitcom The Jetsons, but we’ve remained relegated to a life without the luxuries of George Jetson. Hall — who is a research fellow at the Institute for Molecular Manufacturing and an associate editor of the International Journal of Nanotechnology and Molecular Computation — poses a few explanations for why the world’s cars are still grounded. The first is what he calls the “Machiavelli effect”: Innovators have no room to explore new ideas and technologies as institutions and funding systems continue to reward cadres or those who are politically skilled, writes the WSJ. Otherwise, scientists often suffer from “failures of nerve” or “failures of the imagination” which limits their creativity by making them assume that they already know everything that can be known and results that oppose these “facts” are wrong.
