I resent it when other people try to inflict their ideas of betterness on me. I don’t think they know. And I can’t see any authority on the horizon that’s got any answers that seem worthwhile.” —Frank Zappa * * * 🔊Pᴏᴅᴄᴀꜱᴛ: https://podcast.bogosity.tv/ 💬Dɪꜱᴄᴏʀᴅ: https://discord.bogosity.tv/ ▶️YᴏᴜTᴜʙᴇ: https://www.youtube.com/shanedk ▶️Oᴅʏsᴇᴇ: https://odysee.com/%24/invite/@shanedk:4 ▶️Rᴜᴍʙʟᴇ https://rumble.com/c/shanedk 💰Dᴏɴᴀᴛᴇ ᴏʀ ꜱᴜʙꜱᴄʀɪʙᴇ: https://donate.bogosity.tv
