Correct. It's an acronym and not a real word, even if those twits at Merriam-Webster promoted it to such.

I keep waiting for all of the search engines to start using Wiktionary[^] by default. It's a very good dictionary with no advertisements.

I agree -
We live in a political world
Where love don't have any place
Were living in times where men commit crimes
And crime don't have a face
We live in a political world
Icicles hangin' down
Wedding bells ring and angels sing
And clouds cover up the ground
We live in a political world
Wisdom is thrown into jail
It rots in a cell misguided as hell
Leaving no one to pick up the trail
We live in a political world
Where mercy walks the plank
Life is in mirrors, death disappears
Up the steps into the nearest bank
We live in a political world
Courage is a thing of the past
The houses are haunted, children aren't wanted
Your next day could be your last

Great song, great album. I've always been partial to this verse.

Rondò Veneziano - Zodiaco[^]
This is an old favorite of mine.
In last week's SOTW, I mentioned that it reminded me of Rondò Veneziano and so I got this stuck in my head.
Rondò Veneziano is an Italian chamber orchestra, basically playing modern baroque music.
They play music like Vivaldi, Mozart and Beethoven, but with rock music rhythms and synths.
Apparently, they're still active, but haven't released anything since 2010.
This song's particularly upbeat, which always makes me happy.
I used to listen to this one when doing my newspaper round at 05:00 in the morning, so it makes me a bit sleepy as well

Something different: Messer Chups - Magneto. If you like campy fun stuff, also check out their Electric Zombierella. Zombie girl!

A friend of mine is in a SOAD cover band and when they still performed, they played Toxicity in its entirety.
I must confess I like this version better.
Even better when Serj shuts the ![Elephant | [mastadon]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/elephant.gif) up
Seen them live when I was 16 or so, but I never was a fan.
Such a shame Pokemon will forever be ruined in my mind, but it was worth it 
Speaking of which, Psychic Type - Pocket Monsters - YouTube[^]

Today I learned that YouTube's algos are pretty good. They never recommended SOAD to me, and after listening to that song, even with 500+ million fawningly positive views (for the most part), I am glad it wasn't recommended. But the Trampsta cover is awesome! (The video is beyond awesome.)

Epic games is giving away Sunless Sea[^] until either 3rd April or 4th March: 3/4/2021 could be either, but I'm guessing March despite my PC being set to a more sensible date format ...
I have no idea what it's like, but the tagline appears to be "Lose your mind. Eat your crew. Die." which is ... um ... different ...

Free through March, 4th... they are usually free a week, so April would be too long.
EDIT: Confirmed (visiting the site with german settings)

It's always weekly.
Except during the year end period, when they were giving away a game a day.
Cheers,

Is the Volga River just trying to get your attention or does it mean those things it says?
Which brings to mind, in those songs referring to the "Bounding Mian" - are they just looking for a Chinese noodle dish?
