    It looks like a planetary explosion . It’s too big to be our moon or an asteroid strike. Is Stantis implying we are destroying the Earth? There’s a lot of truth in that, but it probably won’t be by explosives, unless the North Koreans or Iranians lose their minds.

    I assume the reference is to the movie “Don’t Look Up”

    Planetary disaster of some stripe, celestial in origin? The punch line is similar to Shelly Berman’s “Well then. How about a martini?” Anyone else out there old enough?

    If that’s the earth, where are they sitting?

    I think an intentional Douglas Adams reference would be a bit more obvious.

    They went into a Waffle House on Tuesday and they’re known for being open regardless of what is happening around them. I know that the status that Waffle House posts on their website for each location is a barometer about the conditions in the area so if one is closed then things must be extremely serious.

    The moon went boom

    The moon went boom

    For no reason the moon went boom

    I met a Betelgeuse girl, as I stared

    She was hotter than a solar flare

    As I watched her walk my head started to swirl

    All I could think of was kissing that girl

    I drew her close, she started to swoon.

    Then for unknown reasons the moon went boom

    The moon went boom

    The moon went boom

    For no reason the moon went boom
