Korean presidents:
1. ⁠Lee Seungman (1948-1960) - deposed.
2. ⁠Yoon Bosong (1960-1962) - overthrown.
3. ⁠Park Chonhee (1962-1979) - assassinated.
4. ⁠Choi Gyu Ha (1979-1980) - ousted by military coup.
5. ⁠Jeong Doo-hwan (1981-1988) - sentenced to death after completing his presidential term.

Despite almost every Korean president turning out to be a criminal, every election is taken seriously. My friends go into elections with optimism every time, and 6 months in, they hate the person. It’s a tiny miracle they haven’t lost interest (like Americans).

South Korea’s president (윤석열) just declared martial law. He must be looking for a way to carry on the rich Korean tradition of sending virtually every president to jail.

For many, snow triggers the nostalgia of being a child, having a day off, and playing with your friends. For me, it just reminds me of the time a snowman came to life and murdered my entire family on Christmas Eve in a series of increasingly impractical ways.
