#AmReading (more accurately, was reading, since I just finished) Helle and Death, a nod to the classic British country house whodunnit with a charming Danish lead — thoroughly enjoyed it, and there’s a sequel out in a few weeks I’ll be sure to get hold of.
(It’s one of those books with a startlingly low rating on Goodreads, I wonder if people were expecting Scandi Noir, or didn’t like the denouement, or who knows. I adored it, YMMV!)

Oh it became pretty evident to me during my short stay on BlueskyOn average, after about ten minutes of browsing -
uBlock will show 100-150 various trackers being blocked. I've seen the count go over 300.Crap sites like RawStory always ran the numbers up, but in the amount of time browsing - They may be one of the top-100 worst data aggregators out there.
They are selling that user base outright.

The Anita Kerr Singer - A Tribute to Simon & Garfunkel
I got this open reel tape for three reasons
* Anita Kerr was the architect of the Nashville Sound
* this was an attempt to go countercultural
* it runs as 7.5 IPS
The Nashville Sound gets a lot of hate nowadays. But in its defence, when you hear this music on an open reel tape, it’s impressive. The horns and strings really glow, and the snares have snap.
What’s eyebrow-raising is that, at several moments, this album veers into rock. Yeah, I’m serious. Things get rollicking.
It’s funny, with country music being all bro, people forget that women like Anita Kerr are what made Nashville what it is.
