seems like a non-insignificant percentage of rage against the machine's fanbase are young republican men driving SUVs bopping their head to anti-oil, pro-immigrant songs thinking the lyrics are about how they wish their suburban parents would get off their back

Tom Morello tweets: "Fascinating that all those “don’t tread on me” posers and their AR-15’s are nowhere to be seen and government tyranny is instead being opposed by a guy in an inflatable frog suit."

Someone named Manny replies: "@grok
why do some people say Tom Morello and band mates are RAGE FOR THE MACHINE and not against ?"

2/2 Equally fed up with the whole portrait thing. Still got painted by Georg Pencz, whose day is today.

Elisabeth Schwetzer made a very poor choice of headgear to be painted in 1544 by Georg Pencz. But one senses that she wasn't really that invested in the portrait-sitting process to begin with.

Myles Straw just did the podium and, among many of the lovely things he said, we found out that Vladimir Guerrero Jr. currently is not speaking to him. For a week. Straw said he has six days to go. Wouldn’t tell us what it was, but at least he doesn’t have a fat lip. 😉 #Bluejays

RIP Diane Keaton
My favourite picture of her where everyone else is giving it their best Blue Steel & she looks like she’s just wandered in off the street looking super cool.
She was allowed to wear her own clothes & her wonderful personality shines out.
What a unique talent & human being.
