It's been almost a month since we in the Bachelor posted a share, but it's a good day for justice in the country with the conviction of Derek Chauvin in the death of George Floyd.  We in the Bachelor hope that as we get with measures such as banning chokeholds and revealing discipline records, it'll help the public to trust the cops more so as to also better promote the law abiding by citizens.  The Heir particularly believes that revelations of discipline records would also help statistically, because then it'll give the public a good idea of good cops vs. bad cops.  The anti-cop groups the Heir sees as contending that there's no such thing as a good cop, but now we're more likely to have actual substantive information one way or the other.  Speaking of anti-cop groups, that one measure with demilitarization the Heir hopes also takes winds out of the sails of the defunders, because he sees it as the cops' militarization that's attracted young people to the defunders.  So things like banning chokeholds, discipline records and demilitarization we heard on audio as part of the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, but the bill has stalled in the Senate.  The Heir hopes Chuck Schumer gets to grow a couple and respond to what the Heir expects as Mitch McConnell trying to paint the bill up as weakening the cops on some sort of level.  On the contrary, the Heir sees the cops in general having as their greatest strengths both the trust of the community they serve and a resulting higher sense of moral authority.  When you go brutal by contrast, it's because you are weak, and that's kind of spiritualist balance credo that's been known for centuries.  So we in the Bachelor call for the George Floyd Act to push forward and made into law accordingly.

The Heir certifies that as of 3/26/21, what he now calls Tropical Soul Player (TSP) is ready for testing as an "alpha" unit.  There's stuff he wants to fine-tune the player with, but he has to have the basic build before then, and now he does.  This is his DIY player, which we used to call our Third Pillar Player.  He's already done all the building and debugging.  So now what he needs to do is a kind of "field testing" by playing it in normal usage.  He wants to test it at home before he's ready to test it on the road in his opera lights vehicle.  So stay tuned as per what the next couple weeks or so ahead implies for the Bachelor.
