At the start of the song, Edwin Starr says he has 25 Miles from home. By the end, 138 seconds later, he’s home. This means Edwin Starr walks at roughly 652mph.

Twitter is down. So if you want to use a platform to see right wing hate bile and hateful posts designed to create hate and division you'll have to use any other platform on the internet.

If a mob boss tried to shake me down, I would just say a really witty joke. And there would be a LOOONG pause, and then the mob boss would start laughing. Then his henchmen would start laughing. Then the mob boss would say, "Hey, check out the meatballs on this kid!" and problem solved.
