I didn't think Ice Cube's could be nearly as bad as the reviews claimed. I was wrong.
The only positive take away, it even6 ends.

The contributions Brian Wilson made to The Beach Boys pale in comparison to the contributions he made to modern music at large. The world lost a legend without peers today.

It is annoying that Microsoft doesn't publish release notes for most of their npm and nuget packages. It is particularly galling since I know they exist internally. Such a minor detail, but it would save me a bunch of digging through commits in a giant mono-repo.

Someone submitted a PR to fix a typo I made, an extra 'R' in multiple places.
I would like to take this time to apologize to my fellow Bostonians for the abusive use of the letter 'R'. I will be using this as an opportunity to reflect on my actions and work to improve myself.
