still so wild to me that one of the major features of the night sky has a name that sounds like it was coined by an excitable marketing director. it feels like I'm being sold something. "the milky way"—come on guys, what is this? every other part of the sky has a one syllable name. sun. moon. star. fuckin... milky way? I can tell a sponsor read when I hear one. no, I'm not gonna let this one happen. we *shouldn't* let this happen the same way we didn't let "milkstache" happen. let's grow a fucking backbone agains the dairy industry already, we've been in its thrall since the goddamn ancient greeks apparently. shaking my damn smh.

microwave popcorn is such a cute detail of our world. it's a shelf-stable snack that is sold in a form factor that more resembles a small booklet than anything else you'd find in a pantry. to prepare, you place it inside a special "reheater" box in your home whose historical lineage comes directly from the telecommunication technology of a "world war" that killed tens of millions. the *second* world war, to be clear. the small paper envelope of kernels expands in the span of two minutes into a bag full of white, fluffy, buttery popcorn. then you eat it. it is also associated with movies.
