STEWART: β€œComedy doesn’t change the world, but it’s a bellwetherβ€” we’re the banana peel in the coal mine… authoritarians are the threat to comedy, music, art, thought… progress.”

Nailed it.

I think one of the better, more subtle tributes to Robert Redford's life is the string of utterly iconic female co-stars who've come forward to eulogize him; each of them take-no-shit types like Fonda and Streisand, and every one of them without a single bad thing to say. A model for male behavior

Last Thoughts On Woody Guthrie (Live) by Bob Dylan on AppleΒ Music Song Β· 1991 Β· Duration 7:07

#ArtistFave15
#MusicChallenge

Artist - Bob Dylan
Song - Last Thoughts on Woody Guthrie

Not a song so maybe bending the rules but it’s my list. Dylan’s words here speak for anyone (like me and maybe you) that finds salvation in music especially during the worst.

Excellent mouser I bet with that centre of gravity. That cat is superior.

Today in Boston.

Over a million people turned out.

Even the drone couldn't get it all.

The rain did not dampen our excitement for the unveiling of our gorgeous new wetland interpretation project on the Bay to Bay Trail. A great project and team! One step toward better protecting our wetlands and species along trails. #trails #wetlands #stewardship #baytobaytrail #novascotia #intherain

It's so bizarre. Are there not bigger issues for this President to deal with. Like, say, school shootings?
