Day 7: A song from 2013
Anouk - Birds
Song with which Anouk represented the Netherlands at Eurovison Song Contest 2013.
...and yes, I am happy that my country will not take part in next year's edition, because of Israel's participation.

Rick's ALWAYS been underrated. ❤️🔥
THREAD. I can't think of many songs I've been more obsessed with in recent years than Rick Nelson's version of Summertime, which feels like the roots of garage rock. It's also fun taking it as a starting point, then tracking the evolution of its riff, and Rick's look. www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSng...

They'll never offer "better". Only more choices between various shite options and call it "freedom".
Words of advice from someone who's been around. If anything, be it health care, streaming services, software, etc., promises “more choices, more opportunities, more value” it's a big red flag that you're going to get screwed.

I seem to remember Margaret Thatcher boasting that she only slept 5 hours a night.
We all know this is a lie, but can we stop valorizing this shit?
Sleeping this little actually really fucks you up and you make bad decisions. It makes you irritable. It fucks up your memory. It reduces your ability to react calmly and rationally.

MIKE JOHNSON: More. More. And I have to, because President Trump works 21 hours a day.
