@AdaraAstin yes, Ternet's version is also my favorite. But as I like this song so much I listened to a bunch of other covers too. I like this one also:

Mecano - Hijo de la Luna
I wish I could speak Spanish to understand the lyrics. But the song is beautiful anyway.

@kevinrothrock well, that's 100% should be done. and no need to wait for the summer.
@SocraticEthics come on, 200 modern tanks is great but they won't turn the tide of the war. The guy in the video doesn't claim they will. Russia has **thousands** of tanks. they are inferior to Leopards and Abrams but the numerical advantage still counts.

Ultimately, it will prove impossible to beat Elon Musk by remaining on the platform he controls.
He and his goons control the most powerful aspects of the site. They can, and will, use it to empower authoritarianism, hate, misinformation and white supremacy.
They are just getting started. By continuing to operate within the framework they control, you will be at a disadvantage. More at FrameLab:

While visiting MGU, Putin strikes his trademark pose and pontificates some about European sovereignty. American troops in Germany are still an "occupying force," while the USSR graciously withdrew. Also, Russia rejects Cancel Culture, etc. https://t.me/tass_agency/178039
@davemark interesting. I guess it depends on the community. A lot of Apple oriented people used Tweetbot so perhaps that's why we are seeing different things. are you finding the new arrivals manually or are you using some tool like deberdify as I do?
@davemark do you still see many new people migrating among those you followed on twitter? I run debirdify every few days and after the initial wave in November there have been very few new ones recently.
@ChristopherJM it is absolutely great news that #Ukraine will be getting modern western tanks. But delivery, training and setting up the logistics will take time. and the number of promised tanks needs to grow. 100 tanks won't make that much of a difference. #Russia has **thousands** of tanks. they are inferior to the modern western ones but the quantity matters just as it does with artillery.

Biotechnology professor Greg Foley dies after bravely documenting impact of his COVID infection
On January 12, just days before his death, Greg made the brave decision to chronicle his illness as a vulnerable patient on Twitter as a warning to others, and to oppose those, including in academia, who downplayed the severity of COVID. He also opposed anti-vaxxers and others seeking to minimize the danger of COVID infection.

@mhmck +910 killed in one day! that's a very large number. is this mostly from fighting around Bakhmut?
@irgarner classic Putin. **Always** accuse the other side of ugly things you are doing yourself.

Air raid sirens across Ukraine this morning. It's Zelensky's 45th birthday. Overnight, he signed legislation passed in December criminalizing failure of military personnel to comply with commands, going AWOL from battlefield or a military unit. Gen. Zaluzhny supported it...

RT @HoansSolo@twitter.com
More significant military news today:
"Production of the 155-millimeter shells badly needed by Kyiv will rise to 90,000 a month in two years."
That's a 500% increase in production in 2 years.

It saddens me that this needed to be written but I'm very glad @dr_kkjetelina and @kmpanthagani put this together. Our vaccines remain extremely safe and highly effective against the worst manifestations of COVID-19, despite calumnies from propagandists.
