Bread and CircusesThis article is sickening to read. It perfectly encapsulates the disgusting horror of consumer capitalism at its very worst while presenting the stark difference in reality between the Global North and South.

@waldoj For a week's stay, sure. Otherwise, that's just where they keep the bibles.
@Leisureguy @GottaLaff Yeah. That was his magnum opus.
I'm too old to know what any of that means. It's just that I don't have to deal with Musk and his acolytes.
My parents would let me watch "The Twilight Zone," but not "The Outer Limits." Too scary.
If this indictment lasts more than four hours I'm going to need to call my doctor.

QuixoticgeekWhen it rains after a prolonged period of dry weather, there is a smell created. It's called Petrichor. A wonderful word, and utterly useless trivia item. The smell is caused by something call Geosmin, which is produced by bacteria in the soil. Humans can smell it at 5 parts per TRILLION. In contrast Sharks can detect blood at concentrations of 1 part per million. On this one substance, we have a better sense of smell than sharks do for blood. Humans are amazing!
