	<p>I call the radio in my car broken. I say this because it does not let me plug
		into it and it will not read disks. I say this in contrast to it's only function
		on it that works, the function it's named after, the radio.</p>

	<!-- january 11th, 2025 -->
	<p>I was leaving work in the just-snow. The ground was coated, gently, in loose,
		soft flakes. I accelerated too hard and spun off into the thicket. I was stuck
		for three hours.</p>
	<p>When I finally got unstuck and went to drive home, I opened the music application
		I use it and it had an automatically generated playlist for me with the lead song
		being "Driving School" by Blue Foster. Rightfully, I saved this playlist with the
		name "i drove my car into a ditch and the first song on this daylist is driving school".</p>
