It’s such a beautiful video. Why make it available only to Bluesky users? it should be seen by as many people as possible. The humanity in it is very much needed..

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for

Took a break to watch it today. I actually enjoyed it. George was always my favorite Beatle, while Paul was second. No doubt that McCartney is a musical genius.

Yes, those are great . Pellegrino has a peach essence bubbly offering that is perfect. But I don’t see that type of drink much in restaurants.

My default is usually soda if I don’t stick with water. But it’s nice to have sweet tea as an option.
