The person of the day is going to be a two for one, the Wachowski sisters. Best known for The Maxtrix films, Lilly and Lana are famous for their off the wall style in their projects.

In the news, another gay bar, Flaming Saddles, will be shutting down as a result of the coronavirus. https://www.towleroad.com/2020/08/flaming-saddles-is-the-latest-gay-bar-to-permanently-close-due-to-coronavirus/

The project of the day is Ratchet by Shamir. While he has since shifted towards lo fi rock, his electronic debut remains his best work.

Optional Topic: How has corona changed the ways you interact with the LGBT+ scene?
