Album of the day. Today should be a national holiday, for real. Happy 50th anniversary to Stevie Wonder's epic Songs in the Key of Life. A gold standard in a series of gold standards. A breathtaking musical cornucopia of anthems that span soul, gospel, jazz, folk, funk, and much more. Hearing Stevie Wonder's in-the-pocket, one-man-band musicianship across this album remains a revelation (and he was only in his mid-20s!) From the joyous buoyancy of "Isn't She Lovely" to the swinging salute to beloved jazz greats in "Sir Duke" to the unmatched beauty of "Summer Soft" to the everlasting hymn "As," this is one of those no-brainer albums that you grow old with, raise your children on, cleanse your spirit with, and everything else. Every home should have a copy.
My Lord.
@JoeBiden, 83 years old, battling Stage 4 cancer that has spread to his bones, stood for HOURS alongside @DrBiden as the names of 9/11 victims were read.
Donald Trump fell asleep at the 9/11 event at the Pentagon.
One showed respect despite his pain. The other couldn't even stay awake.
Trump is an embarrassment to the nation and the office he holds.
Really says it all.
President Trump led his Republican Party in a mock pledge during their political convention in Dallas, telling them to ‘cheat like hell’ and vote whether they're ‘registered or not’ in November's midterm elections https://t.co/JgD3J8BdV9

🇵🇱 Polish PM Tusk was absolutely right that Trump is Moscow's asset
Trump has literally done nothing this entire second term except rename things for no reason, enrich himself & his Epstein pals, get us into a war he’s too stupid to get out of, and spend our money on shitty renovations nobody asked for. That’s literally it. Pathetic.
@paranoiacs Excellent synopsis. I haven’t thought of it that way before but it is spot on. Even the length can be fatiguing at times to get through (Revolution 9, anyone?)
