Musicians! To celebrate my 13th year(!) as a full-time mastering engineer I threw together this playlist of some of the stuff I've mastered. Here's to the next 13 years - I'm way cheaper than Abbey Road but better at mastering. Hit me up

‘Niceness’ without significant redistribution of wealth
Actually it turns out my computer wasn't switched on
So is *that* why I’ve not been able to log in to anything?
I feel like this election I have no stake in has been going on for about three years
You know when they *finally* elect the mayor of New York City? Will he get to do any governing or does the next race begin immediately?

The hole in a guitar is traditionally used to store soft cheeses and dried meats which are fed to the drummer when he does a good job
People also massively overstate the amount of 'story' in the typical online recipe. It's like when people who've never read Dickens make jokes about how he was paid by the word
The amount of handwaving from the 50+ cohort astounds me; so many people who act like it’s all baffling, impossible-to-understand science fiction when the basics of how it all works can be understood with an hour or so’s reading
I wonder which tech company is going to be the first to put the undo function behind a paywall
Is there any other good stuff you can only get in autumn/winter? Might have to lean into it to assuage my SAD

(No-one say anything to do with Xmas or (especially) Halloween/pumpkins)
The only good thing about this time of year
They’ve started selling cox apples in Sainsbury’s again. We are so back.
Wars can reduce populations, increase hardship and render entire cities to rubble and ash - but what are they?
Sandwiches can reduce hunger, increase happiness and provide nutrition - but what are they?
Soundscapes can reduce pain, promote wellness and reduce stress - but what are they
That’s a cool age to start buying it
Apologies for the extremely low-hanging fruit

I mean not that I've done anything to earn it for almost 20 years
My entire payment today was £16.50, lol
How much do you get for that?
I clearly don't think this is unhinged as otherwise I wouldn't say it, but the idea of reading any novel with the aid of a 'companion guide', especially for the first reading, is baffling to me
Tell me your most unhinged literary opinion, as a little treat
