As it's Christmas we thought we'd give an honourable mention to #GeorgeMichael who died on Christmas Day in 2016 ❤️🎄

In his youth George was a member of the Young Communist League of Britain @yclbritain under his original name, Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou.

While not...

much is known of his activities & involvement in the League, his father Jack Panos is believed to have been a Greek Cypriot Communist whose influence may have guided his sons early politics.

To label George a Communist throughout his life is likely incorrect, however...

OK. For those of you who have had enough of politics, perhaps a thread for music. I have been trying to choose my #DesertIslandDiscs and I have found it impossible to narrow it down to 8 all at once. What I've decided to do is go through my own personal musical history.
The tracks I choose will be chronological and based entirely on their effect on me at a particular time of my life or their connection to an event. My first track is from 1974. On Christmas Morning at 5 o'clock I woke up to find a cassette recorder at the bottom of my bed!
With that cassette recorder was my first ever 'album' 'Keep On Wombling'! I don't know how many times I played it in those first few days, but it was in double figures. Difficult to choose a favourite but I have gone for the opening track.

@cmnit @codice_edizioni Dissento, Carlo. A parte il fatto che "esser influencer" è un'espressione che andrebbe definita: bisogna contare i followers - e in questo caso, quanti ne servirebbero? - oppure si misura l'impatto di ciò che viene scritto? In che modo? Quindi è da capire se #StellaManente lo sia

@cmnit Tale esaltazione della spontaneità (fino a rovesciarsi nell'artificiosità: vivo un'esperienza per raccontarla sui Social) ha il solo scopo di aumentare il proprio seguito. Con ulteriori effetti paradossali: il clamore su #StellaManente l'ha resa famosa
