Paraphrasing conversation with an academic friend from {redacted} this AM:
"I'd wake up every morning, and the leader would say something $^#, and then that would become law that evening. That's why I left {country name here} for the U.S., but now I'm waking up everyday to the same thing."

Midlife update:

- Attended concert where lead singer (David Yow) looked more Gandalf than rockstar

- Some friends wore earplugs, thats a new thing

- My brother bought said lead signer a beer at a concert so long ago -> that beer itself would now be legally eligible to buy beer

- Had great time
