With a few exceptions to emerge back then -- say Springsteen and Elvis Costello -- the 1970s was the worst decade in the history of rock and pop.

And every Saturday @RadioFreeTom live tweets #AT40 just to drive the point home.
RT @RadioFreeTom: Possibly unpopular #AT40 opinion: "We're An American Band" is actually not even among the best tracks on that album.

.@RadioFreeTom gets it exactly right 🎯
RT @RadioFreeTom: Yep. The modern right wing is a giant status-envy tantrum, infuriated about not being accepted by a culture they claim to want no part of.

Excellent explananatory thread on why Twitter is in financial trouble and how Musk's own behavior led to it.

And then people wonder why Germany is not respected
RT @jakluge: In Germany, BASF CEO Brudermüller is complaining about high gas prices, which are a consequence of #Russia's war on #Ukraine.

Meanwhile in Russia, BASF is apparently fuelling the war itself through Wintershall. I wish Brudermüller was equally concerned.

RT @AlexKokcharov: In #Moscow, #Russia, yesterday there was a rally in protest against #UK’s support to #Ukraine defending itself against the Russian invasion. Participants of this “totally spontaneous” rally chanted “Great Britain is a terrorist country”.

👏👏👏👏👏
RT @mhmck: Poland sent over 270 tanks to Ukraine – one-third of the complement in its army. The Czech Republic sent about 50 tanks – 42% of its arsenal. Thank you.

NATO members have over 18 thousand tanks. None of them are involved in combat operations. They're needed in Ukraine.

RT @ulrichspeck: The most dangerous wrong idea of our times?

Ruling elites in Russia and China have convinced themselves that only America stands in the way of their dream: to run an empire and to rule the world.

Do read this thread. This is what the mobiks experience in Ukraine.

In any other army they would be mutinying.

And even they soon will be. It’s 1917 all over again.
