QUARANTINE LIFE

What we've been up to a while sheltering at home

- Damien Martin

No matter what, Tiger King had all the elements to be a hit: wild animals, intrigue, a love triangle, and mullets. Coming available to stream on the shelter at home allowed it to become a cultural touchstone of the coronavirus pandemic. Without live sports—with the exception of Florida deeming WWE an essential business and UFC to keep us entertained during respites from the toilet paper wars.

COME BACK, SPORTS!

Normally during this time of year, we’d have been watching the NCAA Tournament, the Masters, and celebrating baseball’s Opening Day. But as shelter at home orders began to take effect, the NCAA Tournament was canceled, the Masters is scheduled for November now, and it’s unclear when baseball will start if at all. We’ve tided ourselves over with the NFL Draft—albeit conducted via video conference rather than with draftees riding boats up to a stage set up in the Bellagio fountains as was originally planned.
