Feeling the need to say this...

if you have friends that only like you when you act a certain way, they aren't your friends.

If your partners only want you to share certain things or be a certain way, they do not love you.

Being your natural self and being loved for it is real connection.

I have no issue with people marking the centenary of the birth of someone no longer alive. But wishing THEM Happy Birthday is weird by any measure.

On which note, Happy Birthday to the very much alive Nana Mouskouri!

No peace in Gaza.

Network (1976)

Although considered far fetched by many at the time, Network was actually very prescient.

It predicted the move towards news as an entertainment and profit making venture for companies and corporations.

Always remember ...
Brexit was simply the first salvo in a Putin-backed attack upon the West. The same battle is now being fought throughout Europe. If the UK turns its back on Brexit and rejoins the EU, it will be seen as a victory for the whole of Europe against the rise of fascism. Pick a side.
