Ed Sheeran ‘Divide’ — Variables, Weekly
The only reason Ed Sheeran made it to the title of Variables, Weekly this week is I’m currently listening to the album. Plus he named his first album Multiplication, second Addition and this Divide (I refuse to use mathematical symbols on purpose). This is exactly the kind of nerd shit I enjoy, so I’m giving him a shout out. Go get the album guys.
