Son angle : la faΓ§on dont des hommes (car il n’y a pas de femmes) ont compris comment utiliser internet pour cibler au plus prΓͺt les Γ©lecteurs en flattant leurs Γ©gos et en attisant leurs peurs.

Here's "Having an Average Weekend" written Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet, done here in a new arrangement by my band, Science-Fiction Cumbia.

Invidious - search An alternative front-end to YouTube

If you are as sick as I am of the youtube front page now displaying only 3 choices instead of the 10 we had before, just head on to INVIDIOUS instead and be rid of ads, shorts and all other nonsense. No account required:
