If you just took the songs that are covers (I’m counting the Meat Puppets songs even though they joined) it would probably be the best covers EP of all time.

Reject. Needs more theory.

(Actually, I love it. Accept!)

Does the money really even exist? Who does this, versus say buy Trump crypto? Seems just as like that there’s a fictional donor (repurpose money in some way? Just owning the libs as they chase a made up thing? Who knows?). All options are bad & we don’t even know what bad we’re trying to discover.

Grass torn underfoot,
the ball slips through nervous feet—
passes lost, hopes fade.

The brief moment of happiness as Sisyphus watches the boulder roll down the hill.

As noted by others, I’m enjoying Marinakis struggling. MGW saga led to learning more about EM, and he seems a very shady dude. I wish struggles happening with someone else and that Ange was revitalizing a team somewhere. (I also think Forest fans deserve a better owner.)

I think there’s a Full Monty joke in here somewhere, but can’t quite uncover it.

As far as failed tech bro product launches go, the Meta AI steak sauce “wifi” fail still not in Cybertruck smashed windows territory. Though how well the product does once released feels like it might be really similar.

And I’d worry about the consistency of the sauce. Probably want something emulsified like an aioli or mayo more than a really wet sauce. Not sure what demo would have done in this score, but seemed a very liquid direction. (Some people love soggy French dips or Chicago Italian beefs.)
