Same happy drum shuffle that underpinned other earworms of the era, such as Soul II Soul's hits. Love it.

Happy birthday to Giuseppe Verdi, a father of grand opera, born on this day in 1813. In his 30s, Verdi lost his wife and children and nearly gave up composing, until theatre manager Bartolomeo Merelli persuaded him to take on a new libretto, which became Nabucco, his first great success.

Painting created by Mavis Oultram c.1968, in the art therapy studio at Netherne hospital in Surrey where she was compelled to live.
This is one of six surviving works by her, all of which feature motifs of spirals & eyes.

Watching the Devo documentary on Netflix. When you realize they were at the Kent State shooting, and knew some of the students who were shot by the National Guard, it really contextualizes their esoteric, detached weirdness.

I still haven't seen any answer that makes sense to me. Why is an opinion journalist running CBS News as editor in chief? How did that happen, and what is the logic of that appointment? It still isn't clear to me.

U.S. District Judge April Perry says it comes down to a "credibility determination."

"I simply cannot credit [the Trump administration's] declarations to the extent they contradict state and local law enforcement. … DHS' perception of events are simply unreliable."

#BREAKING A federal judge say she will grant "in part" a request by the state of Illinois for a temporary restraining order against the deployment of National Guard troops into the state.

U.S. District Judge April Perry is still ruling and has not outlined the details of her order.
