Hello there! Please wear a mask. You really need to wear a mask. This coronavirus might be airborne so pretty please with a cherry on top, wear a mask.

Right now I’m listening to the remixed Deus Ex album by Alexander Brandon & Michiel van den Bos. It’s pretty good as I wait impatiently for Eidos Montreal’s announcement of a future Deus Ex episode, hopefully completing the Adam Jensen trilogy.

I’m hearing stories of students putting school on hold because of the COVID-19. Trust me, the sooner you’re done with your college degree, the better. What are you gonna put on your resume when you apply for a job if you don’t have a degree or a certificate, and basically no job experience? You gotta think about that. Yes, doing everything online isn’t as fun as being inside the classroom, but don’t jeopardize your future over this. You need an education. There is nothing wrong with being a janitor, but if you’d like to do that for the next 40 years, be my guest. Study hard, kids. Have fun (you can always work on a side gig), but take school seriously. The world needs you to grow up and fix Climate Change, because all these goddamn adults refuse to do what was necessary, which was to elect Segolene Royal as French President. We will have a chance again in 2022, let’s not jeopardize that. In America, Biden must win in 2020, even though the Establishment fucked over Bernie (let’s not go there again before I scream louder than a super saiyan).

I have launched 2 more podcast series, one for Disco music, another with Deep House. Sometimes you just need to dance, other times you need to mellow out.

Please stop bitching about wearing a mask. Folks in the military sometimes wear a huge mask for over 12 hours sometimes. So I’m pretty sure you can wear it to the store. Thanks in advance.

Very excited about the release of F1 2020 for PS4! It’s going to be challenging, but fun, and exciting.

Until next time!
