I have over 20,000 songs on my iPhone. I’ve created an auto playlist of only those tracks I’ve only played the once. My daily commutes are now random songs I’ve mostly forgotten about. These are some of the highlights (in chronological order).

Antistar from 100th Window by Massive Attack

It’s dinner time for the police. Appears to be pizza from a Salvation Army van.

Seeing lots of posts from Americans complaining that authoritarianism has never been this bad by the government.
