Image credit Brad Johnson  (found via Mastodon ) Image credit Marius Michusch  (found via Mastodon ) Termite The word Termite is a portmanteau and contraction of the phrase 'terminator mite'. A mighty mite that might terminate your place of dwelling from the outside in with you in it. Work My increasing cynicism about the nature of capitalism is promoting confirmation bias in my media consumption.
