Democrats - knock off the stupid ideological food fight. Find someone who can speak articulately about housing and gas costs, corruption, doesn't have a Nazi tattoo, and isn't over 80. It's not that hard.

The first five countries to recognize the United States.

🇲🇦 🇫🇷 🇳🇱 🇪🇸 🇸🇪

[Lori M @LoriLLLady]

I also learned that the EU had each country present a cake. Double meaning? Maybe…

[Lori M @LoriLLLady]

It is kind of neat to see how many countries/embassies are recognizing the US birthday today. I am making a mental note of how many are referencing the fake #250 though. Who paid who?

[Lori M @LoriLLLady]

I feel like it is kind of like when you still want to be connected to that old friend but you know you probably shouldn’t as they have gone cray-cray over the years. It is hope they go back to “normal” - whatever that is.

[1976 Live @50YearsAgoLive]

The United States celebrates its Bicentennial, in recognition of the 200th anniversary of the nation’s independence from the United Kingdom.

In New York City, “tall ships” of the navies of the world sail down the Hudson River as British guided missile destroyer HMS London salutes them all.

A massive parade in Washington, DC is led by Johnny Cash.

A Bicentennial Wagon train that has travelled nationwide ends up at Valley Forge, Pennsylvania.

So thanks to Twitter™️, I learned about this show. I love it. I love the music. I am too old to like this show. 😂 Maybe it’s because I went to THE hockey school in Mass with the same initials. And ps: this show will be a time capsule of how phones were used in the 2020s. 🏒🥅

[Off Campus @offcampusonpv]

People are already rewatching Episode One. (It’s me, I’m people.) We’ll be rewatching Off Campus episodes in May and June and celebrating on social! Don’t miss it.

Watching #topgun and #topgunmaverick back-to-back hits different. Love Maverick in IMAX. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[Skywalker Sound @skywalkersound]

The first use of “May the Fourth Be With You” within Lucasfilm came from none other than Randy Thom, Skywalker Sound’s director of sound design. Back in 1982, Thom was a sound recordist on location for Star Wars: Return of the Jedi in the Northern California redwoods. Arriving on set the morning of May 4, he happily assembled the pun in his head, and greeted none other than George Lucas and Harrison Ford with it! Here is Thom (right) during the Jedi production with fellow members of the production sound team David Parker (left) and Jim Manson.

When I lived here, the population of London was 7 million; today it is 9 - more than NYC but you don’t feel it. I love this city.

Brilliant idea to send them up with iPhones ❤️

[Reid Wiseman @astro_reid]

Only one chance in this lifetime…

Like watching sunset at the beach from the most foreign seat in the cosmos, I couldn’t resist a cell phone video of Earthset. You can hear the shutter on the Nikon as @Astro_Christina is hammering away on 3-shot brackets and capturing those exceptional Earthset photos through the 400mm lens. @AstroVicGlover was in window 3 watching with @Astro_Jeremy next to him.

I could barely see the Moon through the docking hatch window but the iPhone was the perfect size to catch the view…this is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye. Enjoy.
