It is a shame I was somewhat of a so-and-so. (It is a disposition.)

You'll never today again.

The hilarious thing is being so aware of the reality that nobody listens.

They're playing the fucking Spice Girls. (Not the Jim O'Rourke reworking, to be clear).

I cannot confirm or deny *my* use of Sci-Hub or any other pirate archives, but I can say that I have not used institutional access to anything for my current research.
