This whole thing is such a stunning work of music and code. Go check it out!
Juliet Turner is an amazing Irish singer-songwriter. I co-wrote and produced her new record, now on Bandcamp. julietturner.bandcamp.com/album/home-f....

I also made a web app as an antidote to the soulless horror of Spotify: julietturner.music - a modern day liner notes experience.

Enjoy ♥️♥️♥️

This made my day, and probably will be my internal soundtrack for a while!
I will never stop talking about the theme from level 6 of Double Dragon II for PC Engine CD that sounds like a lost RZA track and samples Leonard Nimoy from a 1987 new age album where he reads poetry over sounds of humpback whales.

a friend of mine in antifa told me that antifa's headquarters is SHEIN and if the company fell the whole network would fall

he also said that 80% of antifa's members are landlords and if you lower the cost of housing, you basically starve the network of its financing

"He shouldn't be celebrated."

No, no. I'm not saying that about Charlie Kirk. Charlie Kirk said that about George Floyd.

Just in case anyone's interested in what he thought was fair to say about someone who was killed on camera.

This week, my Somerville constituent Rümeysa Öztürk was abducted in broad daylight by DHS officials and sent to Louisiana to be locked in a detention center. She has not been charged with any crime.

After some Costco shareholders asked the company to end its DEI policies, this was their response: “Our board has considered this proposal and believes that our commitment to an enterprise rooted in respect and inclusion is appropriate and necessary."

This explains why Costco is an industry leader!
