Hey all,
Thanks for another year of reading. I hope you'll drink your cup of kindness yet, both for auld lang syne and for another spin around the sun.

"You are now the proud owner of C chord, right? And you didn't own that five minutes ago. You're rich. You own something Elvis owned. Plus, it didn't cost you anything. You own something new, and nobody can take it away from you. And this isn't just some must-have object. It's not a bag or a car or a phone. You ever seen an ad for a guitar? No, it sells itself. This is a gift you can take to your grave, and you can use it whenever you want. And in the right context, it can speak directly to your heart in ways we don't even understand. More than thoughts, more than words, more than ideas. Just a chord, hanging there in the air." - Flora and Son (streaming on Apple TV+)
