Kennedy Assassination: November 22, 1963. Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show: February 9, 1964. Just enough time for the U.S. to go through the grief and start thinking "we could do with something lighthearted and joyful to cheer us up". So, go with me on this: WAS BRIAN EPSTEIN ON THE GRASSY KNOLL???

If we are lucky, life sends us the exact message we needed to hear at the exact moment we needed to hear it. I'd like to thank @eeeeaaaa.bsky.social with absolute sincerity for being the messenger today, and now I'm going to go and pick up my guitar.
Sometimes, when I’m really struggling to find anything in this current moment that isn’t about intentional cruelty and limitless greed, I think about the fact that there is music in the world right now that didn’t exist a week ago, or a day ago. Right now, even now, someone is making new music.

I do love Philip Pullman's writing, and wholeheartedly support every political stance I have ever seen him take, but this really is "Tell me you don't understand Tolkien without telling me …"

They should put this hero on a banknote and hang his portrait in every school in the country.
“I’m worried about my community… I’m out here in a frog costume to show how ridiculous the notion that we’re violent terrorists is, and showcase how that narrative is wrong…”

Just had to jump through several hoops to stop Google Calendar displaying "Columbus Day" and several more very counter-intuitive hoops to get it to display Indigenous Peoples' Day, but finally, righteousness prevailed. Incidentally, Fuck Christopher Columbus.

I'm frankly shocked we made it as high as 54. Maybe this study was a couple of weeks old.
Well at least we can stop pretending "American exceptionalism" is a thing.
