Two Texans --- Norah Jones and Willie Nelson --- along with Wynton Marsalis and a group of awesome musicians take on, "Hit the Road, Jack," a classic Ray Charles song. This is quite something. Recorded at the Lincoln Center in NYC, 2009.

👏👏👏
The neighbors invited us to a birthday party for their kiddo. Homemade street tacos, watermelon juice, a bouncy castle, a placid baby being passed around.
This is what the neighborhood should feel like.
wow
DAMN, SON!
Reinventing how a thousand year old instrument is played!
I don't do working lunches.
Let me enjoy and properly digest my food.
Plus we don't get paid for lunchtime so y'all need to leave me the fuck alone for 30 minutes.
"We live in a society where we've basically become totally callous to the idea that someone can gun down eight kids...and that's just the way of life. We deal with it and we move on, because we have become accustomed to it."

Someone abandoned their senior wiener dog on a street near me. He can barely get around, is all bones. So I scooped him up, gave him all the love and all the “good boy”s, and am slated to adopt him in a week!
Reporter: What do you make of Republicans saying that Virginia—
AOC: Wah wah wah.
We have asked Republicans for 10 years to ban partisan gerrymandering. And for 10 years, Republicans have said no.
What they’re just mad at is that they have been accustomed to a Democratic Party that rolls over.
Oh, don't sell him so short. It's also the way to stay out of prison.
"Patel would be luckiest if The Atlantic succeeds at getting this thing dismissed right away — no, really. Because if this case goes forward, he’s stuck with discovery."

"There are ways of telling if she is a witch," RFK Jr. continued. "What do we do with witches? We burn them. What do we also burn? Wood. What does wood do in water? It floats. What also floats? A duck. So, naturally, if she weighs the same as a duck, she's made of wood, and therefore, a witch."
Best to not wear this colour trousers when on TV.
I think the top character trait we need in future leaders is humility. Everything else we value flows from that
This fking asshole can take his apology & shove it. He has the balls to say even though he knew he was lying to ppl it wasn't intentional. Bullshit! He knew exactly what he was doing & he knew it was wrong but he was making so much money he didn't care. He's a douchebag of the worst kind.
A prolonged fossil fuel crunch just might, at this moment, be *the* exogenous shock necessary for a rapid global transition to clean energy adoption, but also it's going to be a brutally miserable experience for the world's poorest.

This black-and-white portrait captures Maggie Kuhn (1905–1995), the indomitable founder of the Gray Panthers, an activist group that revolutionized the fight against ageism. Seated in a relaxed yet attentive pose, Kuhn is seen in her later years, radiating a sense of sharp-witted wisdom and gentle defiance. She is dressed in a dark, structured, button-down jacket with a small round collar, featuring a prominent circular political button pinned to her left chest—a hallmark of her lifelong commitment to grassroots organizing. Her silver hair is elegantly swept back, and she wears thin-framed glasses that highlight her keen, observant eyes and a slight, knowing smile. Her hands, weathered by time and adorned with simple rings, rest naturally in her lap, one draped over the arm of what appears to be a patterned chair. The background is softly out of focus, showing a glimpse of indoor foliage and a textured wall, suggesting a television studio or public forum setting where she frequently challenged societal norms. The composition is a medium shot that focuses on her presence as a formidable public figure. The mood is one of dignified strength and intellectual vitality, serving as a powerful visual testament to her legacy as a champion for intergenerational justice and the rights of the elderly.

Denmark and France bans Microsoft products from all public offices.
One way to reign in the tech incels 😏
any reason she would do that other than being insane?
HUGE scandal if true. Laura Loomer got Marco Rubio to throw two Iranian women with green cards in ICE jail to be stripped of status and deported, claiming they were related to Qasem Soleimani.
Official documents provided to @dropsitenews.com appear to show they are NOT related; they're innocent.
The Epstein files contain evidence about the sexual abuse of women, and especially minors. That was terrible. But there's something even worse in those files: evidence of billions of dollars of corruption. Many wealthy people who were not involved in sex abuse were involved in financial crimes.
Looking forward to stopping by @colbertlateshow.bsky.social one last time. Tune in tonight!
