During the '07 WGA strike, I walked with Rev. Jackson for a few minutes, and it was a highlight of a pretty difficult time. RIP

I don’t know that I’ve ever laughed harder at anything in the long history of the internet than I did at that original clip

the more I think about it the more outraged I am that the Grammy tribute to Brian Wilson was a taped message from Bruce Springsteen and not an all-star band of young musical acolytes fronted by Rivers Cuomo

Whoa! Didn’t expect to wake up to this news.

“A year into Trump’s term, voters say Biden was better.”

Trump’s net approval on the economy is now -18. That’s 26 points worse than this point in his first term and a brutal 53 points lower among independents.

The year is 2015. China is getting richer and more powerful every year, but America has three trump cards: universitities, biomedical research, and immigration.
