Reporter's calm stiff arm is the stoic mood we need for 2019
One TV news reporter gave us all a mood to admire in 2019 when she remained calm and stiff-armed away some random tomfoolery during a live report.
Darla Miles of New York's ABC 7 was making a live, remote report when a man tried to walk in front of her. But Miles simply stiff-armed the man while continuing her report, not missing a beat and showing the kind of calm we can all hope to maintain under pressure.

We salute you, Darla, for giving us the "keep calm and extend the stiff arm" moment that we so badly needed.
