THE WASHING MACHINE: THE SILENT REVOLUTION THAT CHANGED THE WORLD

The washing machine isn’t just one of the most useful home appliances—it played a massive role in something much bigger: freeing up women’s time. Before it came along, doing the laundry was an hours-long (or even days-long) job, done by hand, in cold water, with a ton of physical effort. It was such a grind that entire days were set aside just for washing clothes.

The first electric washing machine was invented in the early 20th century, but it didn’t become common until after World War II. As it made its way into households, it freed up countless hours each week and helped open the door for women to join the workforce. It’s no exaggeration to say that the washing machine gave a massive boost to feminism—quietly but powerfully.

🌀 Fun fact: In 2009, The Economist published a list of the most important inventions of the modern era… and the washing machine ranked higher than the internet and mobile phones. They literally said it “did more for women’s liberation than the right to vote.”

FIGHTING A FASCISM THAT ONLY EXISTS IN THEIR HEADS

Some people are obsessed with seeing fascism everywhere. They call it out in governments, laws, and pretty much any opinion they don’t like. “Fascist alert!” they cry. But real fascism, the textbook kind, is crystal clear: it’s all about force. About using the State as a weapon—extreme nationalism, a cult of personality, militarism, systematic suppression of freedoms, a single-party rule. And let’s be honest: that’s just not happening in Europe or the US today.

The irony? The only real violence I’m seeing comes from the very people claiming to fight fascism. They’re the ones yelling, pointing fingers, getting aggressive, and trying to shut you down if you don’t agree with them. And no matter how they dress it up, that reeks of authoritarianism too.

So when I see images like these from FEMEN, I can’t help but wonder: are they protesting something real, or just fighting a monster they made up in their heads?

AI IS FINDING YOU A GIRLFRIEND

Matchmakers were women who specialized in arranging marriages, acting as intermediaries between families to find suitable partners. Their role was crucial in many cultures throughout history, especially in societies where arranged marriages prioritized social, economic, and familial compatibility over romantic love.

Across different eras and regions, these women had specific names:

• In medieval and Renaissance Europe, they were known as matchmakers or celestinas, like the character in La Celestina by Fernando de Rojas.
• In China, the "Mei Po" (媒婆) played a key role in arranged marriage traditions.
• In Russia and Eastern Europe, "svakha" were women specialized in finding partners for young people.
• In the Jewish tradition, "shadchanim" were professional matchmakers responsible for arranging marriages within the community.

Their work wasn’t just about pairing couples; they also negotiated dowries, ensured compatibility, and made sure the marriage was beneficial for both families. While their role has faded in many societies, matchmakers still exist today, especially in religious communities or cultures where arranged marriages remain a common practice.

Now, let’s ask AI to find you a girlfriend—let’s see what it comes up with and if you like any of the options.
