I have just read _Stella Maris_ by Cormac McCarthy: such an amazing book. Through the words of Alicia, McCarthy discusses philosophy, mathematics, physics, sadness, and madness.
I think that this is one of his masterpieces and it deserves a second reading.

Yeah JD, we remember. We will never forget your boss was best friends with the guy who ran a literal child sex trafficking ring.

And then that guy was "silenced" forever.

And now we will just not talk about anything else until they...

42 years ago today, Metallica unleashed their debut album Kill 'Em All—raw, loud, and fast enough to melt speakers. Thrash metal had arrived, and nothing would ever be the same.

OZZY RIP

It’s impossible to put into words what Ozzy Osbourne has meant to Metallica.  Hero, icon, pioneer, inspiration, mentor, and, most of all, friend are a few that come to mind. Ozzy and Sharon believed in us and transformed our lives and careers.
