Jul 15 Word of the Day
The safeguarding of Earth and other worlds from biological cross-contamination (i.e. billionaires with too much time on their hands).
Also known as “planetary protection.” Planetary protection / quarantine “reflects both the unknown nature of the space environment and the desire of the scientific community to preserve the pristine nature of celestial bodies until they can be studied in detail.”
There are two types of interplanetary contamination. Forward contamination is the transfer of viable organisms from Earth to another celestial body. Back contamination is the transfer of extraterrestrial organisms, if such exist, back to the Earth's biosphere.

Billionaires are having a dick swinging space race while the earth experiences record breaking heatwaves that cause sea creatures to literally cook inside their shells. We need planetary quarantine.

One of the single most boring places to live. This town is the hometown of the Dow Chemical Company and Dow Corning. Consequently inhabitants tend to mutate. Located in Michigan.

A dry, desert place in Texas that is big on oil. Has one mall and some things to do scattered around the city. Big on sports. But it is by far not a rural place. It is a nice city to be raised in for little ones, but not one you want to stay in forever.
Crih: Hey, you want to hang out at my place or the mall today?
Hsu: Yeah, what else is there to do?
Crih: Idk...
Hsu: Yep, thats Midland

Midland, Texas. The single most amazing town in the entire world. There is legitimately no other place to live other than Midland. When people talk about how awful it is, it is very obviously a very funny joke because no one would EVER say anything bad about Midland, Texas. Because honestly, there is absolutely nothing bad to say about this wonderful place. Everyone is so classy and friendly and smart and there is never a dull moment. One will never run out of things to do in Midland. Why? Because it is the best town in the entire fucking world. Everyone wishes they could live there, but they're scared they'll never want to leave. Midland forever.
