Dark day

This's an actual dark day, not any of the journalistic bullsh*t

Members of the U.S. national newsmedia oligopoly often use the phrase
"dark day" to mean "bad day".

An actual dark day is a highly overcast day,
such that the eye-burning, skin-burning, vulgar bright light of the uncovered sun
has been largely blocked, resulting in non-vulgar, relatively beautiful lighting.

Thus, to use the word "dark" to mean "bad" is to say
"vulgarity is good; beauty is bad".
