Seeing too many Modelo commercials during the World Cup forced me to break out my The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly LP. Shucks. What a way to spend a Saturday leading up to this afternoon/evening’s matches.

Only in Kansas City does someone microwave burnt ends and mac & cheese for breakfast in the break room.

Started the process to get my first professional accreditation (aside from the industry exams I have passed).

That moment when Sasha's Xpander comes up on your personal media library and you get to listen to the EP's full 11+minute rendition.

Just finished listening to Enrico Sanguiliano's NINETOZERO releases thus far. Bought them all on Bandcamp. I really dig it. Looking forward to the first drop of 2025.

Fired up Apple Music's club station and it's Ministry of Sound's Sounds of Ibiza mix. This just turned a bad day around.

All credit to ricmac on Reddit for this one: Do you know why I pulled you over? I'm sorry officer, but if you don't know I'm afraid I can't help you. Am I free to go?

Gleichschaltung. A word you thought you'd never utter (even if you could pronounce it) to explain what is happening in the United States. encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/a....

If you knew how easy it was to make fentanyl with ingredients from many different countries, you would not single out China. All of the chemicals used can be obtained easily by Americans. There are legitimate uses for all of them. Work with the addicts and implement harm reduction protocols instead.

Should I cash out 🤔

I'm baked and listening to How the West Was Won by Led Zeppelin in 96hz/24-bit PCM. What a great way to start the weekend.
