When Grammy-winning musician Rhiannon Giddens begins playing “Old Corn Liquor,” a traditional Black American folk tune, acclaimed Chinese pipa virtuoso Wu Man recognizes similarities to Chinese pentatonic music and spontaneously joins in. The joy on their faces says it all.

This round of Cards Against Humanity sucks.

I have had similar thoughts to @doctorow.pluralistic.net about Hugging Face. But I'll recklessly go one further. I think the big AI companies are at their limit for credit, strapped for more investment, and are stirring up panic in hopes of nationalization. doctorow.medium.com/https-plural...

Just when you think you couldn’t love David Byrne more he goes to the Hollywood Bowl playing "Life During Wartime" projecting ICE raids 🔥

Lunar Eclipse with your kid (who should definitely be in bed but COME ON) is a cool freaking experience 🥰

I’ve seen Blue skies Through the tears In my eyes And I realize I’m going home 💔❤️

Good news for voting rights in Montana! Our Montana Federation of Public Employees members won a preliminary injunction to protect Montanans' right to have their voices heard and votes count by defending same day voter registration on election day. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Every scene gets better .. Enjoy! And that scene 🤣🤣🤣🤣🥳🥳

Appreciate this detail from CBS News reporter Jennifer Jacobs. It's an important part of the story that seems to be missing from a lot of comments & coverage.

DAMN, SON! Reinventing how a thousand year old instrument is played!

Good Morning, America. Time to buckle in. #RadioFreeAmerica youtu.be/ZcC0QWsfpAQ?...

Thought-terminating cliches. www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2025/03/poli... If you find yourself saying things like “he’s just gonna do it anyway”, or “Congress will just let him do it” , etc., CUT THAT SHIT OUT! And pay attention. 👇🏼 #SheShed

RIP Rev. Jesse Jackson. I think everyone needs to hear this

Please enjoy Sir Ian McLennan as he delivers a powerful speech from Shakespeare .. about immigrants on Colbert. He tells the audience to shout, portraying the angry citizens who were mad at the immigrants. Then he answers:

Tom Morello in Minneapolis last night. 🤩 KILLING IN THE NAME

This is my daughter and her bestie when I used to drive them places. Now it’s Eliann & Bad Bunny. I’m just like that guy

This is brilliant

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube. Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X). *1981 Sherrilyn horrified by 2025 Sherrilyn saying “let’s post Reagan’s speech.” youtu.be/5t5QK03KXPc

“What the real deal why you can't connect Why you hating people that you never met Didn't your mama teach you to show some respect? Why not open your mind for a sec? It takes a second to wreck it It takes time to build…”

“There will be no federal takeover of Portland, Oregon.” 🔥 👀 Damn — @bynum.house.gov is. Not. Playing. Around.

Sometimes I can’t believe what is happening right now…and then I remember that this entire country is basically the house from Poltergeist.

Silencing smart people so dumb people won’t be offended is like unplugging the smoke alarm so the fire won’t feel bad.

Sorry but personally if a miniature horse woke me up from anesthesia by banging out nonsense on a miniature keyboard it would send me into a liminal space between life and death from which I would never return

The whole world seems a little fuzzy right now. Time for sleep. Enjoy this from Reddit's Made Me Smile group.
