Remembering the fantastic singer Linda Jones (December 14, 1944 – March 14, 1972) who left our world far too soon at the age of 27.

I'm having a problem seeing some of the posts on this page - 4403, 4405, 4407 . . . . possibly ones with Twitter links
Thanks F. Twitter’s an issue at the moment. Today was the worst day of it. The tweets are back as images at least but still can’t be clicked on like before to play a video contained in a tweet, for example. The tech support are on it to discover if it’s a Twitter fault since Musk shagged the whole thing up or a new server issue.
