The Red Sea?

Just wrote a book review of Bleeding Sea, an excellent eco-thriller about an invasive species of algae that turns the ocean red and kills fish and humans alike.

Welcome to the KAKISTOCRACY!

KAKISTOCRACY = government by the least suitable or competent citizens of a state

 "Living in a kakistocracy is like being on a plane where the pilot insists that 'wings are overrated' and the co-pilot is busy googling 'how to fly.' Every decision feels like it was made by a committee of raccoons who stumbled upon the control room and thought, 'Let's press ALL the buttons!' It’s a special kind of government where competence is a liability, and the only job requirement is that you have no idea what you’re doing—but you’re incredibly confident about it." --Chat GPT

Feeling a bit UNKED, are you?

UNKED (adj) =  strange, weird, or uncanny

British English, pronounced: un-ked. 

"As the sun set behind the hills, the small cottage at the edge of the forest took on an unked appearance, its windows dark and uninviting. The wind whispered through the trees, creating an eerie symphony that added to the sense of unease. Alone in the gathering twilight, Sarah felt a chill run down her spine, the unked atmosphere making her quicken her pace towards home."

Would YOU want a lazaretto-themed man cave?

 LAZARETTO (n) = an institution (such as a hospital) for those with contagious diseases

"After a week of binge-watching old pirate movies, Tim's imagination sailed away with the idea of converting his basement into a lazaretto-themed man cave. Complete with fake portholes, rum barrels, and a "Quarantine Zone" sign, his friends joked that anyone entering would need more than just a shot of grog to survive the evening unscathed." --Chat GPT
