Catching up on a couple of movies this weekend and got to enjoy #margincall again before it leaves #Netflix. Just a couple of #SimonBaker scenes to remember it by.

Spent time enjoying Gene Hackman and Dustin Hoffman (as well as John Cusack and others) in the great #movie - Runaway Jury. Well worth the time and popcorn.

Found this old(ie) but good(ie) from way back in the day. “Too Late To Turn Back Now” this time by Alton Ellis. Ok, it just made me smile today!

Teddy Swims’ take on “Tennessee Whiskey” demands you listen with a drink (of your choice) in your hands. Yeah!

Awww…this one hits hard. An amazing voice has fallen silent as Roberta Flack left us at the age of 88. Rest in Power Roberta, your talent will be missed.

What in the world could have happened? They don't think it was foul play, but it was clearly not natural.

@raineyday @TechBean
Right now, no one knows what actually happened.

The media is going to be click-baiting the hell of this today and tomorrow.

Good luck on any of us getting any good info for awhile.

A Cup of Tea


Words for today. #poem #wordsfortoday #positivevibes

A Cup of Tea
By Anonymous

When the world is all at odds
And the mind is all at sea
Then cease the useless tedium
And brew a cup of tea.

There is magic in its fragrance,
The is solace in its taste;
And then laden moments vanish
Somehow into space.

And the world becomes a lively thing!
There’s beauty as you’ll see;
All because you briefly stopped
To brew a cup of tea.

"To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears.

To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool.

To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen.

To be led by a liar is to ask to be lied to.

To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery."

- Octavia Butler, Parable of the Talents, 1998

YouTube displayed language question


!New To Friendica
@Ruud

It seems when adding a YouTube link to a post the summary for the video appears in a different language. Is this a setting I can address or this a server side occurrence? Please see the attached for reference. Anyone else notice this?

The server runs in Germany, so probably YouTube detects that?

I hear you. Was just surprised is all (had not seen that before).

That’s interesting. I wonder why the image didn’t load for you?

in reply to SocialSpirit

No clue - I mean, we're all on the same server (friendica.world), so it shouldn't be a federation issue at least. 🤷‍♀️

in reply to phle

@Ruud just a quick couple of questions - I know you have other issues that are top of mind right now (and rightly so), but any chance this could be addressed to pull in the YouTube preview when a link is added and the "YouTube description in German removed?" Most distracting and unsightly. The display of just the clickable link is also distracting. I guess it's most concerning with the lack of consistency on this. Thanks for your attention to my comment!
