BLOGPOST UPDATE IN PROGRESS

What’s up, everybody! I am in the process of listing blogposts in the future by date and not by podcasts. I am actually not at PODCAST 1200, but at PODCAST 1800 and above. That’s how far into the future I am. Anyway, lots of work to do. Here’s a video to explain stuff to younger generations, since unfortunately, with TikTok, and their 8sec attention span, their ADHD, none of them understands the importance of: “Don’t Boo, Vote.” Thank God that I do, and I will remind them.

Until Next Time!

BLOGPOST UPDATE IN PROGRESS

What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 1096 & BENKYO RADIO 1096. There are so many countless stories and testimonies from Gaza Colleagues at Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) also known as Doctors Without Borders. They’ve been ignored by multiple news organizations, and if their voices continue to be ignored, you are all complicit in the massacre of the Palestinian people, a genocide right before our very eyes, and Netanyahu is essentially Higgs (inside Amelie’s body, spoilers, with Joker makeup, a complete psychopath) from Death Stranding 2 (metaphor).
