Eh, Tasha's was a mixed bag in terms of utility, but I've used every section in Xan's at least once.

I use this one: https://podcastsoundboard.com/ It's dead simple, has the features I want like looping and trimming, and adding music is drag and drop. One drawback, at least for me, is that it does crash occasionally, but start up is so quick, it doesn't usually matter.
I don't do Sci-fi, but as a former Syrinscape subscriber, my solution has been to buy a soundboard app I like, and then download very affordable tracks from independent artists via Bandcamp. There are lots of artists who charge $1 or 2 for a 1hr album of tracks, or even "pay what you want." Even better, if you find an artist you like, you can sometimes get their whole discography for like $15-20. Obviously, you can also rip mp3s or whatever else.
There is a gospel passage about how much will be expected of those whom have been given much. I've always heard this interpreted as how church leaders will be judged harshly in the afterlife. I wish this and hell were true, just for the sheer shock and disbelief of all the hypocritical religious leaders who've done so many terrible things and continued to preach hate.
I'm generally not a "both sides" person, but if anything has become obvious in the last several months/years, the majority of establishment Dems are just as bad when it comes to holding onto power. RBG, Feinstein, Pelosi, Biden. MAGA has been cultivating their next generations, and now the Dems seem convinced they need to move right despite seemingly everything and everyone telling them they abandoned the working class and the economy sucks regardless of the stock market.
I have the soundcore liberty 4, and I also really like it. Way better than the raycons I had.
Beast Wars is my GOAT Transformer series. I figured it was nostalgia, but I rewatched during the pandemic and it honestly held up better than I remember. Even the weird early digital animation is impressive in context. So many interesting characters and motivations, too. And the sweetest extra on top is Megatron's dialogue. Yeeeeess!
I hope they can rebuild. GI was a major pillar of game news for so long.
