Gotta get that roughage.

Beautiful

I’ve thought about you more than once in this regard, given what I know of your family history.

National Socialist voting?

Anything by Kali Malone. I’m particularly fond of Living Torch and The Sacrificial Code. The first is electronic, partially drone-based, the second is for old pipe organs in a few European locations.

CDs are, ironically (?) already the least environmentally-unfriendly, though that’s not saying much. Vinyl is somewhat worse, environmentally, and streaming is worst of all. My source is an article Alex Ross wrote about this issue n the New Yorker a few years back.

Lewis Black has said that he’d rather listen to Schumer chew granola than listen to the tepid impotence of his words.

Interesting. There are great-nieces and nephews currently in my family ranging from 1.5 - 5 years and I’ve been thinking of clapping exercises I want to show them.

And their (i.e., unfortunately, *our*) so-called reasoning never extends beyond "because I said so."

This applies to every mass shooting as well. The "motivation"? A country utterly awash in guns.
