If you're at a Red Sox home game and you want to send me a song request, this is the best place to do it. If you prefer to send it via Twitter, that's okay. If you prefer to send it via some other means, I may or may not see it in time. Thanks! Let's have an awesome Red Sox season together! ⚾ 🎹

Has Mary Trump indicated how much wrath we are going to have to endure because of yesterday?

My father was the same, but substitute alcohol for the Addies.

Stop calling it “russia’s Pearl Harbor.”
This isn’t a surprise attack on a peaceful country.
This is Ukraine hitting military targets in a terrorist state that has been bombing civilians for years.
No need to borrow analogies—this is justice.

Enamel proteins recovered from Paranthropus robustus fossils. This is super cool because DNA cannot physically survive longer than 1.5 million years due to its relatively short half-life of only 521 years. In this case, researchers were able to sequence the peptide chains and detect polymorphisms.

I trust everybody here knows the movie "They Live" and is painfully aware of how relevant it is every day. I mean Musk is doing his level best to make it look like a documentary....

Vote In Or Out 🇺🇸 on Instagram: "A recent satirical art piece features a lenticular poster of #ElonMusk that shifts from the slogan “America First” to “Billionaires First” when viewed from different angles. This visual transformation draws inspiration from the 1988 film They Live, directed by #JohnCarpenter, which critiques consumerism and hidden societal control. The poster’s design, reminiscent of the film’s themes, suggests a commentary on Musk’s perceived prioritization of elite interests over national or public concerns. Such artwork aligns with a broader trend of guerrilla campaigns targeting Musk, including unauthorized posters in London that satirically label billionaires as societal parasites, advocating for wealth redistribution .   They Live follows the story of Nada, a drifter who discovers that the ruling class are actually aliens manipulating humans through subliminal messages in media and advertising. By wearing special sunglasses, Nada sees the hidden messages like “OBEY” and “CONSUME,” revealing the truth behind societal control . The film serves as a metaphor for unchecked capitalism and the influence of the elite, themes that resonate with the messages conveyed in the Musk poster. By invoking They Live, the artwork critiques the disparity between public slogans and the underlying actions of influential figures like Musk.   #ElonMusk #JohnCarpenter #TheyLive #Consumerism #GuerrillaArt #Satire #WealthInequality #SocialCritique — I love me a good They Live reference.

Thank you for repeatedly supporting Russia and its crimes against Ukraine.

The very fact that you are providing the Russians with your platform to make money is already DIRECT support for their crimes and genocide of Ukraine.

Hypocrites.
