Who can tell me something that's improving... all seems gloomy or much worse.

I'm keeping myself mentally healthy by removing all social media off my phone and listening to music that gives me a harmonic hug to soothe my brain & playing music with others over the last month - humanity FTW.

Hang on a sec.

Paul Erdős played himself in the documentary N Is A Number (1993), alongside Tomasz Luczak.

Luczak had a minor role in The Mill and The Cross (2011), alongside Charlotte Rampling.

Rampling and Martin Sheen both have acting credits for Jerusalemski sindrom (2004).

Sheen was in JFK alongside Kevin Bacon.

If I've counted right (and imdb is correct about Luczak), Erdős has a Bacon number of 4.

Zuck said Meta is in a "partnership" with White House; Google is following suit. They are all that stand between you and Trump admin data grabs.

Law enforcement requests for user data from Apple, Google, and Meta mean Big tech can decide whether US authorities have access to your personal info, like location data.

Meanwhile, Europeans are starting to see US data services as “no longer safe”

Here's a resource collection of non-US services, and more:
