The planet is having another one of those days. A volcano in Ethiopia that’s been asleep longer than human civilization suddenly wakes up and blasts ash high enough to be photographed from space. Australia’s north is getting hammered by Cyclone Fina with winds strong enough to rearrange entire neighborhoods. Bangladesh shakes under a shallow quake that leaves hundreds injured.
And if that wasn’t enough, a grandmother in Thailand woke up inside her coffin just moments before cremation. Yes — she knocked on the lid. From the inside.
Meanwhile, Elon Musk quietly kills DOGE, foreign “MAGA” influencers turn out to be broadcasting from Eastern Europe, Valve earns more per employee than basically every tech giant, and a Czech father and son dig straight into a WWII bomb pile like they’re in a Looney Tunes episode.
Chemical plants are poisoning water, comets are splitting into gold-lit fragments, and North Korea demolished the world’s first floating hotel because it didn’t match the “national character.” Sure.
In other words: just another day on planet Earth.
If you want the full breakdown — all the chaos, all the oddities, all the cosmic weirdness — I’ve put everything into today’s Strange Sounds Daily newsletter.
