Every album I’ve ever encountered seems to have a mixture of bangers and one or more meh or outright flops. It’s easier than ever to skip over the tracks now, but as the question asks: what’s is, in your opinion, the perfect album, or does one/can one even exist?
Today in a Privacy community a post about YouTube. No word about privacy but all about which software or settings are needed to watch videos and the money needed to host videos. It made me wonder whether some of you can lead a meaningful life without YouTube. Or will a cold turkey bring the worst out of you ?
MAGA loves conspiracy theories. He’s playing to his base. When push comes to shove we’ll see if he’s all talk. So far he’s been the most outspoken, but when you have a platform to bring real awareness to something this critical it seems he’s content to play around the edges and accept the stonewalling. He has the ability to make it the national issue it should be. The public hearing yesterday was a joke. And they didn’t get anything in the SCIF? I’d be screaming at the top of my lungs “ We have stuff shutting down Air Force bases and they can’t stop them?” How is this threat to our mainland national security not the no 1 thing in the media?
Yes, one of a growing string of similar incidents in which we have been unable to identify or engage these unmanned vehicles. They are not even trying to conceal their presence, yet operate with impunity for weeks in restricted airspace, to the point fighters were relocated from Langley to other bases. If the Air Force can’t control the air over Langley how can they control the air over Washington? I encourage people to go to the War Zone’s website and search these terms, “Drones and Guam” or
“Drones and Colorado” or “Drones and Palo Verde” or “Drones and FAA or Arizona or Navy” and see what you find. Most people think drones are just a problem for countries overseas. Not true, we have a big problem here in the US and still no clue where these things are coming from or why.

General Staff: Russia has lost 466,150 troops in Ukraine since Feb. 24, 2022 (kyivindependent.com)
Out of the half a million troops killed I wonder how many were actually Russians? Doesn’t look like things are working out for them.
