Boxing! Grokking! Things that make us mad! We give a LOT of lyrical real estate to the Picasso raffle lady. We revisit the question "WHAT IS NEWS?" and we also tease a new format for next week... 
Highlights: "Marciano," "British Politician Sex," Gilgamesh tablet returned from the Hobby Lobby Museum, Doja Cat saying "gang sunk that dunker"
