You could say that Rock n Roll was born 111 years ago today in Arkansas, but probably not where you'd think. Before there was a Chuck Berry or Little Richard, there was those who wanted to be like her.
Rosetta Nubin better known as Sister Rosetta Tharpe, the godmother of Rock was born on this day
Chuck Norris is dead. He was really shitty but Conan playing this clip from Walker Texas Ranger lives rent free in my head forever tbh so there's that.
3h ago 16.53 EDT Officials praise Trump as viewers express frustration during press conference Before taking any questions, Texas's governor Greg Abbott, the homeland security secretary Kristi Noem, the Texas senator John Cornyn and the representative Chip Roy opened today's press conference with long statements of self-congratulation and praise for the response from local, state and federal officials. They also repeatedly thanked Donald Trump in effusive terms. It was not until reporters pressed for numbers, towards the end of the press conference, that officials began to share the valuable information sought out by the public. Commenters watching the live feed expressed frustration at the lack of information in the first 25 minutes of the event. "Quit talking about yourselves relentlessly," one commenter said. "Most useless conference!!!" another commenter said. "Get to the point that matters to us the people of texas," another said. Much of the statements from Abbott, Noem, Cornyn and Roy focused on praising their own efforts, thanking Trump and the White House and encouraging people to pray. "Prayer matters," Abbott said. Prayers "could have been the reason why water stopped rising". Later during the press conference, in response to questions from the press, the local sheriff confirmed the number of dead had risen to 32, including 18 adults and 14 children. & Share Updated at 17.24 EDT
“Prayer matters,” Abbott said. Prayers “could have been the reason why water stopped rising”.
What a shameful MAGA debacle of a press conference - a conference supposedly intended to help families desperate for information on the Texas flooding.

To add to this: he won because he not only LISTENED to voters about affordability concerns, he had PRACTICAL SOLUTIONS that weren't bullshit trickle-down economics or pandering to billionaires.

This win keeps getting more delicious: Cuomo won car owners, Mamdani won non-car owners. (Real NYers don’t own cars.) www.jalopnik.com/1895759/nyc-...

According to AZ Republic's Nick Piecoro, DBacks star Ketel Marte sobbed on the field tonight after a fan in the crowd at the White Sox stadium yelled something about his mother, who was killed in a car accident 8 years ago. The fan was ejected.
I am once again asking what is wrong with people.
If you're a member of the Democratic gerontocracy, the chances of you catching a primary challenger just went up 1000%.
Agreed.
This is the first really big election since Trump took office, and an out-of-nowhere Mamdani win would shake up a LOT of people's understandings of what's going on at the grassroots and how to win going forward.
next up: can you primary the times ed board

Nothing has endeared Brad Lander to me like seeing him regularly trash talk Andrew Cuomo bitterly into a hot mic
Cosigned, there are no excuses left, swing the fucking pendulum already cuz the people have fucking had enough
Guarantee at least one GM will assume he messed up by not taking the Stars draft pick in the first two rounds.
a still of mahmoud khalil as he exited ice detention. he’s wearing a long sleeve khaki button up and a white and black keffiyeh wrapped around his neck. he’s got a big smile on his face and his fist raise in the air, defiant and proud.
Mahmoud Khalil is free.
It’s almost like there are really good reasons legitimate law enforcement doesn’t normally operate masked and in civvies.
My grandmother was a young pregnant Jewish woman alone on a train in Poland during WWII when a German soldier told her to get off at the next stop because there wouldn't be any soldiers waiting at the station. She survived because, in that moment, a soldier chose the right thing over obeying orders.
Yeah, this explains a lot.
oh no, this cannot be who I think it is.. omg.
great save AND he's lucky it didn't go off him and in! wow!

SEN. PADILLA: “Saying I lunged is a lie, but that’s par for the course for this administration… I was behind the cameras listening, and at a certain point hearing Noem say they had to rescue LA from the Governor and Mayor was too much to take. So I raise my voice to ask a question.”
