What’s up, everybody! I’ve just added JETLAG RADIO 192 & BENKYO RADIO 192. It’s back to school in many places! Stay strong, you can do this. I really enjoy the Fast & Furious game so far. I know there are a lot of critics about the gameplay, but that’s not fair because they don’t have a big budget like Gran Turismo Sport or Forza. Plus, if you support this game, it is more likely that there will be more games, with better gameplay.

I am asking the Trump Administration to stop (I think the expression is) Dilly-Dalling around with COVID-19. We need nationwide isolation. We need to do this for 6 weeks straight, then the coronavirus will be contained. We need Medicare For All. If we can’t have that just yet, we need to pass a temporary Medicare For All. We need to reverse-engineer a vaccine by getting all the scientists together from every major country on Earth. There’s no point in every country working out for themselves. The Planet will benefit if the world is healthy. Work together, stop bickering, and listen to Bill Gates, goddamnit.

Dear Iron Man (Elon Musk), I know Mars is important and all that, but if there are no humans left to go on Mars, it might be quite problematic. Could you allocate a few hours each week or at least get a team to work on mapping the coronavirus genome? Peter Parker can even ask Spider-Man to help you.

Wear a mask! Use social-distancing! Do it for yourself, and your loved ones!

Until next time!
