On the Zanussi ZWF01483W washing machine: Review (2020)
Cold washes, 10kg capacity, quick and intensive cycles.

The washing machine is thrumming along in the laundry. First load. I wander out the back door. Outside, it's damp but not raining. A currawong sits on a rock awaiting the morning's largesse. I pour out a small cupful of seed onto the feeder. On my way back, I pause by the sunken bathtub (repurposed as a planter). It is overflowing with luscious mint plants made extra vibrant by the overnight rain. I pick a single leaf and inhale. Its scent is glorious. Another sunday in suburbia.

Fish-inspired filter removes 99% of microplastics from washing machine wastewater
Wastewater from washing machines is considered a major source of microplastics—tiny plastic particles that are suspected of harming human and animal health. Researchers at the University of Bonn have now developed a filter to curb this problem. Their invention was inspired by the gill arch system in fish.

Word of the day: AI-washing
"Where management wants to cut labor costs a la Amazon, shift to cheaper contract labor a la Klarna, or execute layoffs for ideological reasons, a la DOGE, “AI” is an extremely potent justification. Some business professors and analysts have taken to calling this practice “AI-washing.””
