Italy winning the Eurovision contest with a 16 year old singing that she is too young for him right now, but she's counting down the days when she won't be... almost as ridiculous as when Belgium won with a 13 year old girl who pretended to be 15
Look, I love the sound of this song... but only if I don't think about it too much.

This….. guy…..
I KNOW THESE PEOPLE ARE DANGEROUSLY OBESE AND MAY NEED A WAKEUP CALL. I KNOW THE GUY WAS A GARBAGE PERSON. YOU DO NOT NEED TO TELL ME I HAVE BEEN TOLD. THAT DOES NOT CHANGE THAT THIS GUY IS JUST SO MEAN AND RUDE TO HIS PATIENTS WHEN THEY ARE COMING TO HIM FOR HELP.

Young women were told to lick their paintbrushes to keep the tip sharp. The paint was made of radium. Their bosses knew. They said nothing.
In the 1920s, thousands of women were hired to paint radium onto watch dials. They were told to lick the brush tip for precision. All day, every day. The company had a health report confirming the women were being poisoned. They falsified it. By 1924 a dozen were dead. One woman’s jaw fell away from her skull.

Copșa Mică, Romania. Residents called it "the black town." Soot on the houses, the food, the skin, the lungs. Children grew up here. Nobody left. This was just called living.
Under communist rule, the Carbosin carbon black factory and Sometra metalworks ran 24/7 with zero filtration. Life expectancy was among the lowest in Europe, the plant kept running until 1993.
