Listen to TAPPS on Spotify. A band from 1983. Their songs sound like they were written during the past decade. Really ahead of their time in various fronts.
1980s actors who made it to the US top-10 of Billboard with their hits:
- Eddie Murphy
- Bruce Willis (2 hits)
- Don Johnson
- Patrick Swayze

After painting over 1500 illustrations in the last 4 years, these are my four favorites. You can follow my art on my #fediverse #Pixelfed account, linked on my description.

"Eaten Alive" by Diana Ross was a charts failure, but a big hit on the (Greek?) radio when it came out in 1985 (helped by vocals by Michael Jackson & Barry Gibb). However, it has been completely and utterly forgotten as a single. Even on YT, it only has 44k views after many years of upload. Honestly, this should have been a classic 1980s hit. Either marketing sucked for it at the time, or Ross' fans didn't appreciate Jackson's brand of music.

Diana Ross - Eaten Alive (Official Video)

Life in #Greece is nicely slow atm. I'm having fun installing #Linux on VMs and laptops for friends and family, and gazing outside the windows to see our lush green landscapes and sea. Very green in our side of Greece (NW).

Down with #Covid with my hubby, a first time for me. That bug is nasty. My lungs aren't happy rn.

I caught it from the movers last week, who brought our belongings from the US in to our #Greek home. An ironic way to end this months-long transatlantic move.

Because the current #US #government does not push enough for a #ceasefire in Gaza, I won't be voting for #Biden in the coming #elections. He's done a lot of things that I also don't like in the last few years, from not pushing #climatechange solutions enough, to printing way too much FIAT #money. In the last elections I wrote-in #BernieSanders. In the upcoming one I might just write-in some totally random person. No, I don't care about the "lost vote" argument.

I've been watching a number of experts speak about a possible #war with #China (mostly talks by Gray, Allison, Dalio, Varoufakis etc).

Looking at the #trends of #wealth & political/educational/tech/etc #health between the two countries, it's obvious that #USA can't win this, despite the declining demographics in China.

To avoid a war, or going #nuclear, I think US might need to give some concessions to China. I don't like that, but I don't see a good alternative.

"A senior Israeli government adviser has said al-Shifa hospital – the large hospital in Gaza – is a “legitimate target” for Israeli forces." -- The Guardian

Oh, really? >:(

When all this is said and done at some point in the future, Israel, as well as Hamas, both need to answer for their war crimes.

Even in war there are rules.

New #Greek #law seems completely crazy: as self-employed, you're not allowed to make less than $12k/per year. If you make less, you will still be taxed as if you earned $12k, unless you dissolve your business. As an #artist, earning only a small amount per year, as a hobby+ type of activity, this law makes no sense to me. In fact, being an artist in #Greece would be stupid. I've noticed that #Europe keeps voting such stupid laws that they end up head-slapping themselves after a few months. D'oh.
