I pack my wife's lunch every day.

Dude, that's supposed to be what the portrait in your attic is doing; you might want to get it checked out.

The lib bastion over at Daily Kos still has their "Russian stuff blowing up" series going strong. Highlight from the latest edition: according to a definitely real Russian report on the internet, North Korean soldiers are dying from drinking alcohol wrung out of antiseptic wipes and drinking sanitizers. I don't think reason is kicking in yet.

Society-wide veganism via massive livestock pandemic is going on my 2025 bingo card.
