We recently had the mystery disappearance of Nicola Bulley in the UK that got huge media attention because everyone was playing detective; we’ve had similar media frenzy over the Chilean miners, the Thai footballers in the cave, the RAF lad who disappeared on a night out (it’s thought he climbed into an industrial bin)…

What are some songs or albums that transcend their artist or genre?
Besides Dark Side of the Moon.
Does it feel like the fediverse is exclusively used by older tech nerds?
The mastodon and lemmy content I’m seeing feels like 90% of it comes from people who are:...
