Freeze Peach brings you your weekly dose of Happy News. Here are five positive things that happened this week to make you laugh, cry, smile, and feel more hopeful. JOKE. This week we have more death, more destruction, hatred, greed, lies, fear, and pettiness. The question is, what will ultimately cause human extinction? Natural disaster or human folly? Let's dive deep into the swamp.

Sup peaches. In the news this week, Joe Biden's first month in charge - we ask - Is America Great Again Yet? Trump is acquitted, but a culture of hate remains, especially against Asian-Americans. Langley-aligned The New York Times predictably trashes WHO trip to Wuhan. SNL digs at Israeli apartheid, but how soon until Michael Che gets fired, canceled, or is forced to apologize? Senator Ted Cruz is a sociopath. Finally, legendary dance duo Daft Punk quits after not breathing adequately in helmets for 28 years.

Phew. For the first time in 2021, nothing tragic or noteworthy happened. You know, like how the UK on Tuesday surpassed 100,000 corona deaths, and like how on Wednesday, the US topped 400,000.

Freeze Peach is an irreverent weekly column dedicated to newsfeed commentary and cultural analysis. The name is a corruption of the phrase free speech. Turn on, tune in, drop out.
