David Tennant is the type O-negative of people, what my friend Charlie calls the universal boner.

A Michigan teenager on probation for stealing a classmate’s cellphone has now been incarcerated on suspicion of the grievous crimes of sleeping in during the pandemic and falling behind on schoolwork, a move that, should it set precedent for all children, would see nearly every teenager in America incarcerated by…
