Spring time Underrated song: Со мною вот что - Таврия

Like you all know, I’m not chasing “breaking news”. We don’t really know what will change, only that the most powerful psycho in the world (unfortunately, it’s not the only one) time traveled to 1939 and - thankfully - most are not biting into this multiverse, specially now that we have so many metaverses to play with... So, this quarter I chose an old (anti)soviet shamanic song which I dedicate to all Russians that hate Putin - a large majority, I believe. They are the ones in better position to move us forward.

1. Hard to categorize (Ethics, Society, Geopolitics, Democracy) article that worth reading. Not exactly "news" but helps to make sense of the world a little bit better.

2. Relevant concept affecting - at least - energy, tech, economy and business.

3. Food for thought.

4. The quest for blockchain use cases continues.
