Sabrina's 'Manchild' came out at just the perfect timing, when the world's two biggest manchildren (?) are having a huge falling out.

I decide if someone is inconsiderate when we are in an elevator full of people, and this individual is playing a video at the highest possible volume from their phone.
They probably have equally little concern for those around them in other situations.
Am I alone?

So... Semi Final 2 was a disappointment.
I can't believe we're losing Czechia. Adonxs' 'Kiss Kiss Goodbye' deserved better. I'll also vouch for Australia's 'Milkshake Man'. How did Armenia make it?
At least Finland made it. Erika Vikman has a real shot of winning the whole thing.

I don't see the appeal of Tommy Cash. I really don't. Other than the staging being a bit cute but quite presumptuous, this doesn't resonate with me.
Still, I wish him good luck on Saturday.

@booker.senate.gov gives a damn. I hope this inspires other Dems to do the same. And, I hope this message reaches folks on the other side of the aisle who have some sort of moral compass.

Sen. Cory Booker—a Black man—just BROKE segregationist Strom Thurmond's record for longest floor speech in US Senate history.
Thurmond spoke for 24 hours 18 minutes in opposition to civil rights.
Booker has now spoken for 24 hours and 19 minutes against Trump's abuses against Americans' rights.
