What’s up, everybody! It’s Monday, April 6, 2026. It’s Monday, therefore it’s time for Major Content Curation. There will be a “Coffee with Zack” VLOG in English tonight, hopefully. They have been delayed due to lack of privacy, doing my best here, obviously, episodes would arrive faster if you send in donations. I haven’t had a $800/month allowance since October 2024. It’s been very difficult. I have less than 2 days to buy Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 on sale for $40, and I don’t have money for a $50 PSN giftcard. PS. I wrote an important #longreads term paper on the conflict with Iran, be sure to read it, it’s very important.
