Eppu Normaali is one of Finland's oldest and biggest rock bands, and Screaming Thunders is a side project formed by half of its members. They exclusively play CCR and John Fogerty covers, and they rock! Saw them live for the second time tonight, and it was excellent.

#NowWatching F.W. Murnau's The Last Laugh (1924).

Just read a news story that Finland spends more money per capita on OnlyFans than any other country in the world, any by quite a large margin too.

Did we finally figure out why we're the happiest country in the world? Proud to be a Finn! This is cause for celebration!
