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.

Hey, ProPublica reporter Jake Pearson here. I’m taking over the account to tell you about my new story. For months, I posed as a problem gambler on DraftKings to test the company's "responsible gaming" safeguards. Spoiler alert: They made me a VIP — and I lost $10K. Here's how it all went down. 🧵

@themountaingoats.bsky.social The This Year book club is in "The Life of the World to Come" and I just have to tell you directly how much I love these songs. I'm not even religious and I love them so, so much.

I know I'm late to this, but why is his name Jimothy?

@hyperbolistic.bsky.social I got 51 / 56. Love it! Thank you!

@tamarakeithnpr.bsky.social I don't understand the need to sane-wash the president's lie about the Jesus picture.

Post your favorite Lord of the Rings character. Wrong answers only.

Legitimate federal agencies don't need to insist that they are legitimate. Abolish ICE and DHS.

Alison Luchs, who has worked at the National Gallery of Art for 47 years, agreed to learn Gen Z slang and make videos because she wanted to raise interest in the museum’s art. She never expected to slay. https://wapo.st/45BXc3S

@gluesenkampperez.house.gov This is what you are voting for. Please do better.

@gluesenkampperez.house.gov Please use your power of congressional oversight.

@gluesenkampperez.house.gov says "ICE provides a legitimate, necessary service to our country" I would like to tell you all that no, it does not!

Incrementalism doesn’t work. I used to be an advocate for it. That was wrong. We can’t chip away at the rot in hopes of laying the ground work for big change later. We have to go in blasting now. Abolish ICE. Raze his ballroom. Defund all his shit. Jail the crooks. Restore America.

Okay 2026. Come at me bro

As of this morning 4,500 Starbucks workers are on strike. Don’t cross their picket line. No Starbucks. NO Starbucks gift cards!

A vile and disgusting statement from a sitting Senator. Freedom of religion is fundamental to the identity of America. What a disgrace.

The fact that a second strike like that in an armed conflict is definitely a war crime should not completely negate the fact that *there is no war* and ALL the strikes are cold-blooded murder. The whole chain of command are murderers.

@acollierastro.bsky.social Did you cancel that subscription you asked us to remind you to cancel in December?

Just rewatched The Force Awakens, and I stand by my initial reaction that this is clearly Anthony Hopkins playing Cliff from Cheers

I have never seen such a perfect image

Today marks the two-year anniversary of the horrific October 7 attack. As we mourn the 1,218 lives lost that day, let us also keep alive the dream of a lasting peace and a better future for all. Ceasefire now. Every hostage must come home. And a safer world for everyone.

Hey friends, just a head’s up that I have gotten some *really* sophisticated looking phishing attempts the past couple of days, one from “Fidelity” and one from “X”. Please be careful especially checking email on mobile where the headers are collapsed, these aren’t dead giveaways like normal.

Is there a german word that expresses the anguish of falling in love with a band that only has two albums?

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Disney learned nothing from Andor.

They cry “free speech” when it’s hate, violence, and lies. But the second we tell the truth or call them out, suddenly we’ve gone too far. That, my friends, is what you call selective outrage.

"But Rebecca! You have so many survival skills! Physical fitness! Critical thinking! Weapons training! Surely you'd make it to the end of any horror film." ME:

Decrying violence against political opponents rings a bit hollow when you pull Secret Service protection from your political opponents.

malcolm gladwell has been a dipshit for 10,000 hours

I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable

pictures you can hear

I see and I hear and I speak no evil; I carry no malice within my breast; yet quite without wishing a man to the Devil one may be permitted to hope for the best. -“An Ethical Grook” by Piet Hein

Image from this summer that conveys peace.

Insane that even as a type one diabetic I have to get a Covid vaccine prescription now instead of just wandering into Walgreens. RFK sucks

These are the words of a lunatic who does not belong in government, much less as our nation's top health official. It is dangerous to allow him to oversee ALL federal health research and public health infrastructure. It is never too late to do the right thing. Fire RFK Jr.

The reason I cannot use "AI" in my writing is because I am not speaking merely to be heard to speak. I am speaking because *I have something to say.* The things I have to say could not be said by anyone else because these words are mine. If you don't understand that, I genuinely can't help you.
