On this week's Mean Age Daydream: Hollywood is melting down over the failures of freshly woke mega franchises, while "Sound of Freedom" shocks at the box office (and threatens the classic studio system). Also: the devil of "cognitive infrastructure" is the government's latest invented phrase to attack civil rights.

Brian dives into all the new Gates going on: Oceangate, PrideGate (aka the "We're coming for your children" chant at NYC Pride), and a new PizzaGate that doesn't have to do with pedophiles. Plus, quick thoughts on the Wagner Rebellion in Russia.

Hunter Biden scores a sugar coated deal that will avoid all prison time for the gun-losing, dead-brother’s wife banging Burisma tycoon, in a clear victory for elite crackheads.
