So the UHC CEO killer doesn’t appear to be a wounded crypto bro like I hypothesized. Instead, he shares some uncomfortable similarities with myself at that age. A bright computer science grad with some anti-capitalist ideology. But unlike myself, he had something different inside that propelled him to take bold action on those ideals. Its hard not to sympathize, especially knowing the misery that UHCs fuckery causes.

My music reclamation project is done, at least the first phase. I went through 361 albums, picking out 589 songs to build my “liked” list. Normalized the volume across all of them and put them on my phone. Feels good. It’s my music. Fuck you Spotify. Fuck your ads and subscriptions. I can play these on my phone or computer, skip as much as I want, no unwanted track insertions. I’m so happy with this. And as I was doing it, I was writing down long forgotten albums, bands and artists that I’m going to also add in the future. This project was so restorative. Music is important, personal and joyful. Make sure to keep it in your life.
