@kimvsparrentak Wetenschappelijk is vastgesteld dat “sociale” media net zo verslavend werken als drugs. We hebben een alcoholverbod tot 18 jaar. Goksites mogen gewoon overal en altijd reclame maken (youtube) Als vaststaat dat een #algoritme #verslaving in de hand werkt moet dat gewoon verboden worden. Sommige politici hebben een grote mond over #cocaine en #xtc maar #tabak #alcohol #gokken en dit soort #algoritmes vindt men prima! Gezondheid alleen belangrijk als het hun uitkomt

Oof. Over 40 years ago and so damn appropriate.

XTC, All of a Sudden (It’s Too Late)

song.link/kb67zcj8bptf0

What can I say?
Why do we starve a thing
Thats near extinction?

From day to day
These weeds of fear
Are choking our conviction

Life's like a jig-saw
You get the straight bits
But there's something missing in the middle

We find the cupboard bare
We find heaven's not there

We find the sun's gone cold
We find we're more than old
We find that we've lost love

Please don't push or shove because
It's too late, it's too late
In all your hurry
You've accidentally locked the gate

What can we do?
Trying to stem the flow of sand is useless
It's up to you start holding hands
Watch the balance redress

Life's like a firework
You're only lit once
And you must stand and radiate correctly

We find the cupboard's bare
We find heaven's not there

We find the sun's gone cold
We find we're more than old
We find that we've lost love

So please don't push or shove because
It's too late, it's too late
In all your hurry
You've accidentally locked the gate

Love's not a product you can
Hoard or pack a suitcase with
It's more a way you have to give

Life's like a jig-saw
You get the straight bits
But there's plenty missing in the middle

We find the cupboard bare
We find heaven's not there

We find the sun's gone cold
We find we're more than old
We find that we've lost love

Please don't push or shove because

We find the cupboard bare
We find heaven's not there

We find the sun's gone cold
We find we're more than old
We find that we've lost love

In, in, in all your hurry
You've accidentally locked the gates

Another chance to enjoy XTC's "Sgt Rock". A singer who knows how to draw us in with his eyes! Quad-screen split video effects! A spectacularly groovy new wave song! With ... er... very questionable lyrics.

Cliff Richard invites us to his pad for "A little in love".
