Part of Twitter's appeal is its lack of financial success, real or imagined. It's like they just can't muster being as evil as Facebook.

I'm not 'deleting' my Facebook account, if that's even possible. I'm just not using Facebook. I never used the mobile app, and I'm not opening it on my desktop.

Firefox now has built-in screenshots, but it took me going to this page to figure it out https://screenshots.firefox.com/

Return to Forever - Romantic Warrior: I'm not sure what led me to the early albums of Chick Corea's Return to Forever (I think it was Brian Eno's "Music for Airports," or Steve Reich's "Electric Counterpoint"), but here's another excellent album. Chick burns as usual, and this is a great showcase for guitarist Al Di Meola. The playing is heavy, the tones, too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZqiC5_88cVQ

Chick Corea/Return to Forever - 1972: I love the instrumentation and vibe of this record - kind of a quiet fusion with electric piano and bass with flute and otherworldly vocals. How can you not love Chick on the Fender Rhodes electric piano? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0TcSK6MYkpU
