Journalist and former Texas Monthly editor Christopher Hooks @cd_hooks has had his Twitter account restricted after posting this tweet about @elonmusk Elon Musk (the retweet function is disabled for the tweet as well)
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The account in question was also impersonating a verified Twitter user, which is a violation of Twitters terms of service.

It’s hard to think of a concept album less likely than this one: four French horns improvising on standards on a date led by a Dutch button accordionist…but this album swings hard

that xmas when you and your partner each gift the other blue socks with the face of The Puppy
I cold google this, but thought I'd get a more interesting answer here: why are there two albums from Vadim's Liaisons Dangereuses? And whoever can explain this, do you prefer the Jordan or the Blakey?
