one that I heard today for the first time. We were trying out a new restaurant for breakfast, Mario's Gyros in St Peters, and they were playing Elvis, nothing but Elvis, and this came on. He's got a good voice for this song.

♲ @mlansbury@despora.de:An Open Letter to All #European #Politicians and Leaders to Abandon X/Twitter
The continued use of X/Twitter by political leaders across #Europe inadvertently lends credibility to a platform increasingly used to amplify divisive rhetoric and individual interests. In doing so, they leave marginalized groups—whom they represent—with little choice but to engage in a #hostile environment to have their voices heard, failing in their duty to protect and empower all #constituents and ultimately undermining #democratic integrity.

LiquidParasyte reshared this.
I was blown away by the annotated version of The Big Sleep by Raymond Chandler. The book is great, of course, but the annotations were as enlightening as a museum tour from a knowledgeable docent.What other annotated versions of books offer the same delightful experience?

Petition: Cancel Trump’s UK state visit
After #Trump’s treatment of #Ukraine’s President #Zelensky, Trump has shown that he is not our friend or an ally of democracy.The tactic of trying to flatter him into doing the right thing has failed.
He is not someone who should be receiving honours of any kind. The offer of a state visit should be rescinded.

March covers
Ok, I think I'm going to try to post a song cover video each day for the month of March.
Why?
Because I can... though whether I can remember everyday is rather iffy, so feel free to remind me. I'm going to try to come up with interesting ones, so no Hurt by Johnny Cash nor Sound of Silence by Disturbed, I'm some rather obscure ones in my music collection and I'm aware of a few more that I don't have in my collection yet. Oh and the new ones that I have on physical media and haven't ripped yet.
Yep, prepare for a month of #youtube video links.
