You know, my degrees are in computer engineering. I spent a lot of time in the tech industry. And I like to say that I don't invest in tech because I spent time in it. And I saw firsthand that the durability of technology moats is many times an oxymoron.

I got two more albums that I already have the title to it, and I know how I'ma play the theme off of it.

'Feminist comedy,' practically an oxymoron, had a couple of good years after WWII.
