the last time i got to laundry zero, with everything not on my body clean & neatly put away, kissinger died within 4 hours

i will be back to L0 in about 3 hours, so, although the zero/death were clearly unrelated, let’s all put some energy into the universe in 3 hours
just in case

hey you. teenage girl writing in her diary. quit talking about the boy you have a crush on and start writing about the current political situation, the valuation of currencies, and the level of technology your people hold. your diary might be the only piece of evidence our society existed after nuclear war fries all of our data backups. future historians don't need to know about damian, they need at least a secondhand accounts of the great water wars and whether or not your leaders truly did worship a deity called "the free hand of the market"

alright, alright. you can talk about the clothes that damian was wearing. but only if you promise to define what each article of clothing actually is, ideally describing the materials they're typically made from also

People don't grasp how effective the Dixiefication of rural America has been. Rural whites have culturally homogenized to an incredible degree, coalescing behind bigoted grievance politics instead of actually helpful policies.

You can see it in Michigan comparing 2000 (Gore +5) to 2020 (Biden +3)

Turns out, the Haber Bosch process working best with piles of cheap natural gas means that all the fertilizer is now made in like three places

It would be fun if Smash Into Pieces won #Melodifestivalen, just for the amount of β€œI'm sorry, that's *Sweden**??? WTF????” from everyone who bothers with ESC this year. Probably won't happen. Still.

Of course the firemen band has to have a bit where they β€œput out” the stage pyro with extinguishers, but then it's still on fire after that…. #Melodifestivalen

Okay, it's '00s rockslop (feat. the Borg Collective), but it's my emotional support '00s rockslop. Or something. #Melodifestivalen

formsmashing is a popular trend in virtuemaxxing in which you hit yourself in the head with a hammer of reason until your soul remembers its innate knowledge
