In time where everything seems to be downright crap, this is 60 seconds guaranteed to bring a lump to the throat - Fred *has* to be smiling beyond the veil.
Turns out, Lady Gaga singing "Won't You Be My Neighbor?" is exactly what we needed right now. 🥹
The 'Mister Rogers' cover is for Rocket and Redfin's Super Bowl commercial, which they say is all about spreading "kindness, compassion and community."

Sue may well be the first returning contestant from the GHR era of #popmaster. Appeared in November 2024 and went to a 7-round tiebreaker following a 30-30 tie.

Call me basic in my view, but reading this, anyone still proudly voting Reform is one or more of 1) Downright bigoted and racist. 2) A hot-aired windbag. 3) Morally bankrupt 4) Ill-educated and/or downright thick.
The UK version of “Project 2025” by the Reform party includes a British ICE, a concentration camp for 24,000 people, mass surveillance and withdrawing from refugee, anti-torture and anti-trafficking conventions.
It’s on their website. That’s how comfortable fascists are in the UK today.

Braverman is one of the most repulsive politicians out there. Vicious, fascistic, useless, without principle, loyalty or *any* actual genuine success to her name.
Just cheating, lying, letting people down and delivering failure. No wonder she feels she’s “come home” to Reform. It’s a perfect fit.

Hey News anchors interviewing Republicans who are demonstrably lying about video footage, why not try asking what they're scared of? Why they feel they have to lie, what will happen to them if they don't, or maybe ask what they've been promised if they maintain the lie.
