** IT’S HERE! FRIDAY NIGHT MUSIC THREAD ON #MastodonMusic **

Tonight’s theme is:

🛼📺🎞️👾 TOTALLY 80s! 🕹️🎸💿💾

—
🎵 Like, gag me with a spoon! Another decade theme night?

Take a chill pill and post totally tubular bodacious music from the 80s along with what you’re drinking. 🎶
—

🍷 Axel F / Tears for Fears / DeBarge / Sade / Madonna / Simple Minds + Sex On The Beach🍸

Post often • share • make some friends

Compilation of 80s music videos and ...I love them. People think the 80s had the worst music? 90s were meh with some flashes of brilliance. And has pop music even changed since the 2000s? Clear channel garbage: you're wrong.

A good reason not to use #Songwhip anymore, and a reason I haven't - stuff like this ends. They're sunsetting it in July, all links will no longer work. https://songwhip.com/faq/sunset

Ok, I just did an experiment. I set my computer back to Mon, 11/13/23, 11:30 pm or so, and I tried the USA 1HWs game. I got game #82, which is supposed to be Tuesday's game. But when I set my clock back to 9 pm, I got game #81 (which is the game I missed this week).

I think maybe since you're in Central time, @skullvalanche, and you created the game, that means my computer has to be before midnight Central time (so before 11 pm Eastern) in order to get that day's game. Does that make sense?

And maybe that's why I was a day ahead all week, even on days when I played between 11 pm and midnight Eastern. (I think that was the case for at least some of the days this week.)

I was just thinking, gosh I feel so tired... and then I remembered that I had a covid shot today. I had forgotten. I wouldn't say I have sick/ flu-like feelings, just very tired. And I'm so glad I got the shot.

UPDATE: We have a second note from the jury:

"We the jury request to rehear the judge's instructions." Justice Merchan suggests bringing the jury back into the jury box so that he can re-read the jury instructions. No objections from the parties. (The six alternates will also listen in.)

Heardle Motown #259
😓 At the first notes, I was like, yay, I picked right! But then I typed in the artist, and the song wasn’t there. 🤨 So I typed in the song title, but what came up for that title was a different artist. 🤔 So I tried a variation on the title, and it finally came up. There’s a glitch in this game that I think I’ve figured out.

@skullvalanche @teamheardle
Just FYI, I just tested the USA 1HWs game with my pc clock set to Central time, 11:30 pm, and the game has now switched over to Friday. I played it before 11 pm Central, and it was a different song. Game #91. If you were to play it now (or before midnight Central), would you get #91 or #92, I wonder?

From Salon:

"In attempt to raise public awareness, Dr. Gartner has created a new petition at Change.org.: “We diagnose Trump with probable dementia: A petition for licensed professionals only.”

"At the time of this writing, hundreds of verified mental health and other medical professionals have signed the petition. This group includes some of the leading experts in their respective disciplines. Some of these signers have also offered detailed comments about what they have concluded, based on the obvious evidence, is Donald Trump’s increasing cognitive difficulties, and why he is therefore unfit for office..."

@Rasta

Thinking about Cat Stevens, I remembered that there was some controversy years ago, after he converted to Islam (and changed his name to Yusuf Islam) -- I was curious about that, esp given what's going on right now, and so I googled...

Per Wikipedia: "The Israeli government had deported Islam in 2000 over allegations that he provided funding to the Palestinian organisation Hamas,[104] but he denied doing so knowingly.[105] Islam stated "I have never knowingly supported or given money to Hamas".[106] "At the time I was reported to have done it, I didn't know such a group existed. Some people give a political interpretation to charity. We were horrified at how people were suffering in the Holy Land.""

He has also been involved for decades with charitable work focused largely, though not exclusively, on the Middle East. "In January 2009, Yusuf released a single in aid of children in Gaza." He founded a charity Small Kindness that has the mission "to help the most vulnerable victims of war and conflict, such as orphans, widows, and young girls." He has won a number of humanitarian awards.

Last interesting bit: He and Carly Simon were romantically involved in the early 70s, and her songs "Legend in Your Own Time" and "Anticipation" were written for and about him. Just a couple of days ago, I was listening to Carly Simon and thinking about what a great songwriter she is. I had no idea that she and Cat Stevens were an item.

"Between 1845 and 1852, the potato crop in Ireland failed and caused what became known as the Great Famine...

"In 1847, during the height of the famine, the Native American Choctaw Nation raised $170, which is the equivalent of around $5,000 today. The money helped to supply food to the starving Irish...

"In the small town of Midleton in County Cork, Ireland, there’s a sculpture that commemorates the Choctaw Nation’s contribution titled Kindred Spirits...

"It looks extra beautiful at night and is lit by rainbow-colored lights."

This #TuneTuesday the theme is #ItsForYou

"The fedi is great because of the people on it. @derthomas asks you to share a song that you'd like to dedicate to someone on the fedi "

I dedicate this song to
@DemocracySpot, who was one of the first people I found on the fedi that was playing the funk. In time, I discovered that we graduated high school in the same year (or thereabouts) and have many of the same memories of funky tunes from back in the day... :ablobcatheadphones: Have a good Tuesday, Eddie!

This trial exposed how much David Pecker helped Trump by constantly putting fake negative news about his opponents on every grocery store aisle in America. Pecker freely admitted it. I wonder if that exposure has done anything to change the minds of people who believed those stories. Or whether these people might view future tabloid headlines with a more skeptical eye. Probably not.
