A future word describing indecipherable objects: mysterious red-white-and-blue cloth, tattered paperback copies of the Constitution, Barbie dolls, portraits of Thomas Jefferson, carved Philadelphia chairs, dog licenses, coins, photos of things called World Trade Center and Golden Gate Bridge. They will be rumored to have come from a lost civilization, but one few people can believe ever existed.
'Another piece of Amerarcana?' he wondered, as he brushed the mud off the strange, almost perfectly round object, circled by small red lines and weird black marks which were shaped like 'M-a-j-o-r -L-e-a-g-u-e' and might once have meant something, although no one could say.

A thing which is the opposite of what it is presumed to be. An action which is intended to achieve one result and yet achieves its opposite.
Jack and Babs were puzzled that their daughter, already well past forty, seemed to lack any motivation, ambition or interest. They had always done everything for her, 'helped' her with her homework, pulled strings to get her into school, given her a car for graduation. They'd even bought her a nice apartment and set up an annuity so she wouldn't have to worry, never understanding that their 'caring' was an antifact, which, instead of enabling her, was crippling her.

Named for Derek Chauvin, former Minneapolis police officer who killed George Floyd on May 25, 2020.
Named for Derek Chauvin, former Minneapolis police officer who killed George Floyd on May 25, 2020.
Derek Chauvin, in a brazen act of Chauvinism, knelt on George Floyd's neck for nearly nine and a half minutes while Floyd struggled to live, repeatedly gasping I can't breathe, until he died. Chauvin did so in public, as Darnella Frazier, a seventeen-year-old girl, recorded an unflinching video of the episode. Her video went viral, resulting in massive social unrest across America and was the pivotal piece of evidence in securing Chauvin's conviction for murder. He was sentenced to 22 years in prison.

The generation coming into their 20s in the coronaviral age. Leaving college with a stay-at-home diploma, the prospects for career and family will be different from those faced by any generation in memory.
"As one of the Quarantennials, my education promises almost nothing. There will be no work for me, or anyone, in my chosen field, no promise of income, no practical dreams of home and family. It's true for almost everyone I know."
