I love the fact that the only things she could remember about him is that he is a nazi and he got punched. That’s proof that punching Nazis not only physically removes them from the public space, it indelibly marks them as Nazis. That’s all the conversation was about after he got punched “Is it okay to punch Nazis?” Where as before it was “Is Richard Spencer _really_ a Nazi?”

So, when I sat down to get the haircut, I told the hair stylist, that I wanted a little long on top but real short on the sides, but then I said “But please don’t make me look like Richard Spencer”
“Who?”
“Remember right after the election in 2017, the nazi who got punched?”
“Ohhhhh! Yeah, I’m not gonna let you look like a nazi”

In the mood to spend the night lounging around with candles lit and a fancy drink, getting random music from http://radiooooo.com (I recommend it pretty often: map of the world, choose your decade and country, and it pulls up a random song.)

Mammane Sani et son Orgue - "La Musique Electronique du Niger"

Electronic Music of Niger is not something that was on my radar (what do I know about Niger? The official language is French... that's it) especially not an album from 1978, and this one is equal parts brilliant and "just some guy messing around with a church organ" (Bandcamp review). "Kobon Lerai" and "Bodo" sound like early video game dungeon themes, and "Tunan" is just smooooth but with a bounce
