Notes
  1. No Ordinary Man at AllMusic
  2. Chicago Tribune review
  3. Entertainment Weekly review
gollark: I implemented Macron as a series of endofunctors.
gollark: I made 5 Macrons this morning and another 3 in the afternoon.
gollark: APIONET is already accepting brain uploads.
gollark: Yes, they can just arbitrarily bee all things, it's just quite funny in a bad way.
gollark: It's pretty something, given that the terms of service, if I remember right, do ban client modifications, but don't ban alternative clients (only the developer docs do that).
