My hot take on the Bryan Johnson 🍄 stream is that Grimes weird dream jazz and video game DJ set is…fine actually. The rest has been profoundly boring.

I mean, do what you want, but it is OK to have like one or two people who are selected for competence rather than loyalty. It’s OK to have someone who isn’t a friend of Sean Hannity. Honest.
