So sorry to do this on your timeline. But I need a full-time job. I write and edit really well and did so in the music business for 15 years until I got laid off in December. I have infant twin daughters and scarcely enough to provide. If no miracle, a steady pay would help.

You don’t have to RT him, reply to him, argue with him, or point out the lies and errors. He is irrelevant. The work to unite and move forward continues and that doesn’t include him.

Better sound, better storage capacity, easier to transport and keep in smaller living spaces, less expensive on the primary market, convertible to digital files, probably a smaller amount of plastic/fossil fuel consumption. I will argue this every day until I’m dead
