The real hillbilly elegy is how I, a teen mother, earned gift cards by gambling on a digital Solitaire game at a bar, and used it to buy merchandise at Target that I returned for cash, with which I bought a stolen Wii so my kid could have video games like other kids.

NCSoft teased the replica Execution Sword in its commercial that ran during the Korean Series. In the ad for the new Lineage game, blacksmiths can be seen forging a giant new sword. Fun fact: one of the blacksmiths was Kim Taek-jin, founder of NCSoft. pic.twitter.com/OY92fA2vwb

536 A.D. as the worst year to be alive
Science (from 2018):
A mysterious fog plunged Europe, the Middle East, and parts of Asia into darkness, day and night—for 18 months. "For the sun gave forth its light without brightness, like the moon, during the whole year," wrote Byzantine historian Procopius. Temperatures in the summer of 536 fell 1.5°C to 2.5°C, initiating the coldest decade in the past 2300 years. Snow fell that summer in China; crops failed; people starved. The Irish chronicles record "a failure of bread from the years 536–539." Then, in 541, bubonic plague struck the Roman port of Pelusium, in Egypt. What came to be called the Plague of Justinian spread rapidly, wiping out one-third to one-half of the population of the eastern Roman Empire and hastening its collapse, McCormick says.
The 536 event and ensuing famine have been suggested as an explanation for the deposition of hoards of gold by Scandinavian elites at the end of the Migration Period. The gold was possibly a sacrifice to appease the gods and get the sunlight back. Mythological events such as the Fimbulwinter and Ragnarök are theorized to be based on the cultural memory of the event.
The decline of Teotihuacán, a large city in Mesoamerica, is also associated with the droughts related to the climate changes, with signs of civil unrest and famines.
