I changed the title of this thing I'm doing to "Daily Note" because it just feels better and it's less to write 😜 And yes, I'm back on Beehiiv with this one. Take two.

I just ordered a hip carrier for my CD player. I’m returning to the 90s, in certain ways, in an effort to counteract the overwhelming effect of phones and devices that can do everything at once.
I enjoy holding a CD, looking at the artwork, turning it over in my hands, reading the lyrics.

More outright murder is on the menu from the US government
"Well, I don't think we're gonna necessarily ask for a declaration of war. I think we're just gonna kill people that are bringing drugs into our country. Okay? We're gonna kill them. You know, they're gonna be, like, dead. Okay? Yeah."
