I've contributed a few things, instigated others, and still believe in the positive potential of technology. If the internet is broken, I probably had a hand in it (mea culpa). I still believe we can fix it.

Believer in the good in people, in the power of communal action, in personal responsibility, and in reaching out to the other side to find common grounds.

Looking at reviews like this one, I'm feeling those products should be considered as campaigns instead of actual product releases:

31 Tracks for ... had 27 tracks... They're not albums, they're epic journeys.

Having now listened to in full, I can say I feel exhausted by the journey. That album is at least 1 hour too long. It's no .
But great to see new music from Florence (that bit on the Florida! Track is, in my view, the high point of an album which feels mostly flat)

The good news: this morning’s COVID test shows negative. The bad news: I feel as if molasses are coursing (ever so laboriously and sluggishly) through my veins, and b-dy node id stupped up.
