And Iron Maiden
So Iron Maiden are finally getting inducted in the Rock n'Roll hall of fame. I guess better late than never. But man talk about overdue given how long they've been legends...

Can you help my friend Soňa reach her target goal raising funds for a very worthy cause?

That's pretty interesting news on this #Tolkien reading day. Stephen Colbert and his son Peter McGhee will write the next Lord of the Rings movie after Hunt for Gollum based on the events between Buckleberry Ferry and Bree.
Scouring of the Shire next?

Not a chance
Me too, Sam's entry is actually really cool, I'm excited to see how he'll do
This is a fun song, and boy do we need as much fun stuff as we can get nowadays. I've not voted in the #Eurovision for a long time but I think I may give points to Britain this year.

We used to talk to one another in the computer rooms using Netsend before it was deemed to be (rightfully so) a security hole in Windows NT. Never used ICQ much either but made good friends on IRC back in the day.
#Orion forever!

Is it available on audiobook? I remember looking for it a while back but couldn't find it.
Hyvää ystävänpäivää ... Vähän myöhässä, sori. Me ollaan tällä hetkellä Berliinissä ja en aina ajattele tarkistaa bluesky:ta
Interesting, I can't think of a similarly evocative term in British English. Thanks for the explanation
"Spruiking"??
Every now and then a new #metal band emerges that truly blows me away. Some have been around a while others less so. This week I discovered #Tailgunner (Yes named after the Iron Maiden song), a truly refreshing young band with a classic sound, Highly recommended

Not for me thanks. The whole point of "AI" is for robots to adapt to humans, not the other way round. If we need training then so do they (using non copyrighted material obviously).
Also, isn't the country supposed to be broke? How are they paying for this?
I'm glad to hear the site of the old Royal High School in Edinburgh won't be turned into a hotel but into the National Centre for Music, opening 2028.
I'm curious to see how it'll bring more music to the city.

That's pretty shocking news, Native Instruments, one of the largest companies in music making software, is in preliminary insolvency.
This will have some serious ramifications for both users and employees

The highly anticipated version of Ride the Lightning by #Megadeth is here and it's surprisingly close to the original. I expected Dave to put some twist on it. You can tell Teemu isn't challenged enough though 🤘

I would guess most are just looking for follow-backs, they don't typically care who they follow.
It's a little more complex than worrying about how much protein we should eat. Balanced diets also include fats and carbohydrates and we need all 3 in balanced amounts depending on our goals (losing fat vs gaining muscle for instance)
A few years ago I did a daily writing exercise where you just write what a single word inspires you. Re-reading it today some of this stuff is pretty deep. I'm not sure if I should publish it or resume doing it or both.
I don't even recall where this exercise came from

What's The Traitors? Another reality show?
Watching the induction of #Rush in the Rock n' Roll hall of fame feels so bittersweet. On stage there's Neil Peart and Taylor Hawkins and Chris Cornell, all of them now gone...

Does it fix the fact that hiding a post in the app doesn't also hide it on the web and vice versa? Because that's a tad irritating
That is stunning!!
"The X-Men will return in Avengers Doomsday"
I wonder if these weekly teasers will lead to an actual trailer some time soon

Happy new year to all. May you find the will to be the best person you can be for yourself and those you love 🥳
