Our strategy should be not only to confront empire, but to lay siege to it. To deprive it of oxygen. To shame it. To mock it.

Stories that are different from the ones we’re being brainwashed to believe.

I like cool vocal inflections; I like cool sounds. I pretty much listen to anything I think is good.
