If you want to know why we left, look at what it does.
There it is - EU Commission fines X €120 million under the Digital Services Act (for deceptive blue ticks, also ad repository, researchers access issues) - ec.europa.eu/commission/p...
For the legal background, see my thread (starting with my pinned tweet)

Konate one of the most limited professional footballers I've seen in a long time. And I watched Scott Wootton play for Leeds.

100 Greatest Songs of the 20’s So Far #19 Julie Byrne – Summer Glass
Released: 2023 There are few better musical recommendations to get from anyone than just listen to it.

Julie Byrne's The Greater Wings was a record with a personally tragic backstory; with the singer's close friend and former producer Eric Littman passing away at only thirty one she found herself frozen by grief, but in the gradual thaw which followed a record emerged full of warmth and joy, cocooning the listener in it's intimacy.

I know I'm not very prolific with my Bandcamp catalogue, but if you've not got any of these yet, then Bandcamp Friday's a good day to buy them, and it goes towards the good cause of making me feel slightly less stressed about, well, everything rongorongorongo.bandcamp.com/album/decayi...
