I am hereby formally asking the internet to stop adding terrible music to every video. Just … leave its original sound of animals or talking or laughter or whatever. Stop adding music that makes no sense just to add noise. I am BEGGING. 😭

I agree! It's worse when it's an otherwise good to great video. But a horror as someone who previously was in the music profession.

32 years ago today, Toni Morrison became the first Black woman to win the Nobel Prize in Literature.

A long-standing member of PEN America and Vice President of PEN International, Morrison was a fierce advocate for writers whose voices were silenced.

Good! I remember you all were going to that. Slipped my mind when it was though.👍🏽

He's a max deal franchise QB, the climb shouldn't just be starting due to last night. There is much more for Trevor to prove to be in the company of elite top quarterbacks. He still turns the ball over too much.

This year it's hard to determine which teams are actually good. For example look at the Jags and their record, are they good? It's certainly a strange NFL season overall. I don't know if the Pats are good but they beat the Bills who are a very good team. I get the sense you like the Pats.🤔

major sports like the NBA, MLB, NFL or WTA for that matter then the union and players are at least somewhat misguided.

BrianECarr1 @brianecarr1.bsky.social · 5d

I don't know if Cathy Engelbert needs to go or not. But the NBA should have a WNBA league commissioner that will directly address the key issues. The CBA, officiating, a league that seemingly has two to four major stars etc. If the player's union thinks that the WNBA has the leverage of the...

A true leftist leader can only exist in America if he/she emerged from a third party. As long as the current blues v reds dynamic exists, it's about moderate and conservative democrats(Republican lite) v GOP types. But I'd have to know what type of European Government is considered ideal.🤔

Report: Shedeur Sanders silent press conference was a response to criticism from Rex Ryan

On Wednesday, Browns third-string quarterback Shedeur Sanders made the unusual (and possibly unprecedented) decision to conduct a press conference via mime.

Rex Ryan of all people shouldn't be speaking on another man's behaviour. People forget his "kink" videos that were all over the internet back in the day. Shedeur being a mime was appropriate given the situation and team circus. Anything he says gets twisted anyway. The reporters should leave him...

Today marks the first day in the 55-year history of PBS and 54-year history of NPR that public media has broadcast to its audiences without federal funding. But even though lots of local outlets are at risk, PBS and NPR are still here, providing fair, accurate news coverage and will not be silenced.

I don't think Mr. Rogers speech to save or stop funding cuts for PBS decades ago would work with this Congress. At least he was able to win over the man who had the ultimate power to make the decision. The Congressman was conservative but had some humanity. It's hard to imagine a worse President...

It's an important issue but it was Prince who brought this issue into the mainstream, first. At least be factual. Although Swift is helping the cause of artists owning their masters and that's noteworthy.

The Bengals should get the QB the Browns kind of want to keep but not really. Unless they believe he is tarnished or alienated the organization previously. He'd be better than Browning and could spin it to Tee and Chase, especially on deep throws. Russ is washed and Winston is a turnover machine.
