Such a good album
listening to “enter the wu-tang” and one think i like about this record — especially as i’ve gotten older — is how *charming* it is. it feels like a garage rock record and in a lot of ways that’s exactly what it is. it’s lo-fi, energetic and brimming with enthusiasm.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.
Opportunities are everywhere.
Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

This is what a FB employee said to me in 2020 after Zuckerberg addressed workers following FB-enabled violence in Kenosha, WI.
