Yesterday was my sobriety anniversary, won’t say for how long because when I was first in the program people who had two whole weeks gave me hope, but I figured people with a year or more couldn’t be as alcoholic as I was. If you’re new, though, trust me: have hope.

Probably not what you want to hear, but I have always had better success with cutting other frequencies in other tracks rather than boosting one like that. It turns into an arms race of everything louder.
Multiband compression can help some too.

Trump said I was dumb and questioned my leadership today. I've spent 25 years in the military, commanded the space shuttle, and now I'm serving Arizona in the U.S. Senate. Happy to discuss leadership anytime, Mr. President. You know where to find me.

Cascade of A.I. Fakes About War With Iran Causes Chaos Online (Gift Article) The technology has been used to create misleading fakes before. But never at this scale.

I won't indulge in the usual hand-wringing about a post-truth world, because I think that people will adapt and learn how to triangulate information (though consolidation of ownership and White House attacks on the US press aren't helping).

In any case, what a damn unnecessary mess.
