Unprecedented

The header image of this article is the work of Sophie Lucido Johnson and Sammi Skolmoski who are contributors to “The New Yorker” magazine. Their cartoon depicts a time in human history when the word “unprecedented” was accurate much of the time. In the 21st Century, that same word is well on its way to becoming meaningless.
