Along with being one of the greatest racers of all time, Italian cycling champion Gino Bartali carried forged exit visas hidden in his handlebars and seat to Jews in hiding during WWII, & ultimately helped save an estimated 800 Jews from the Nazis. Happy #BicycleBirthday, Gino! July 18 (1914-2000)

Nice thing to see on my way home.

We have to end his power in November. It is life or death.

Everyone needs to stop what they’re doing and watch this video. “It seems like there’s a lack of diversity here today, and it’s mostly people who look like you and me, and I just…?” This lady’s response is🔥

Spending the morning restringing my guitars and the 8yo asks if I have any vintage guitars. I do not. But then I thought about my 1996 Strat and realized that it is 30yo and that if in 1996 I had a 30yo Strat, a 1966, that would be considered vintage. Anyway, time is, as always, a mindfuck.

This photo was taken in 1911 using glass plate technology by Herbert Ponting who was part of Scott's Antarctic expedition, The composition and detail are exquisite with the band of white snow/ice creating a perfect frame around the two people and the ship in the distance Iconic imo

Somebody was trying to tell me that CDs are better than vinyl because they don't have any surface noise. I said, "listen mate, life has surface noise."

Listen, if you put a song in a mix tape for one person and then reuse that song in someone else's mix tape that's unethical. These are just the rules, I don't make them. Two songs by the same band can never be back to back, it's the law. Shit is complicated.

“Eminence Front” turns 43 today. 🎸 “I hesitate to try to explain what it was about,” Townshend told @rollingstone.com. “It’s clearly about the absurdity of drug-fueled grandiosity — but whether I was pointing the finger at myself or at the cocaine dealers of Miami Beach is hard to recall.”

Today is the day #HappyThanksgiving #WKRP #LesNessman

Tears for Fears release “Shout” 41 yrs ago today. The ‘80s, said Roland Orzabal, brought “a lot of fear, a lot of political tension. .. It’s really about empowerment — about refusing the roles you’ve been told to play. It’s an invitation. It’s saying: if something is wrong, say so. Say it loudly.”

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Hey Megyn Kelly, 14-year-old Eloise would like a word: “If my voice makes you uncomfortable, good… because the minute adults start defending predators by defending the age of a child, you’re not protecting the truth, you’re protecting the predator.” Sound up! 🔥🔊 1/2

Grizzly cubs often stick together for a year or two after their mom shows them the door. These two are enjoying a nice fresh carcass while waiting for THE EPSTEIN FILES.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.
