They want you exhausted. They want you demoralized. They want you without hope. They want you beaten and broken—and therefore compliant.

Don't give them anything they want.

My Dolby Atmos 7.1.2 room is officially up and running. Exited for 2025 and all the incredible projects coming next!

Dear Amazon,

That yellow vest I looked at two years ago was for a Halloween costume. Please stop showing it to me. I don’t like it, I don’t want it, and I’m never going to buy it. I promise, if I ever decide to embarrass myself and wear one, I’ll let you know.

Jóhann Jóhannsson: Free the Mind
Ted Greene: Solo Guitar

Spain now has a digital nomad visa, btw.
