“The idea behind [Swedish Death Cleaning] is simple: At a certain point in your life, you should stop accumulating more stuff and start dealing with the stuff you’ve already accumulated so your loved ones won’t have to do it after you’re gone.” – Lifehacker

Life is temporary, but Swedish Death Metal is forever. We, the members of the band Bloodstained Odin, will help you destroy all the shit in your house so you can die on a pile of broken litter. You will be remembered not as a part-time math teacher at Nieblas Middle School, but as a demigod who stayed true to their mission of destroying shit instead of subscribing to society’s fucked-up rules about getting organized.

Good for her: Former congresswoman Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), who has vowed to do everything she can to keep Donald Trump from returning to the White House, launched a television ad Tuesday warning viewers that the former president “is a risk America can never take again.” The ad is running on CNN before and during a high-profile town hall scheduled Wednesday night on CNN featuring Trump — now a 2024 candidate — taking questions from voters in New Hampshire. The 60-second spot, which Cheney narrates but in which she does not appear, is funded by her political action committee. It recounts Trump losing the 2020 election to Democrat Joe Biden and lying to his followers about the results.
