“It’s time to wake the fuck up”

Neil deGrasse Tyson: “Half of my fellow graduate students when I was getting my PhD were foreign nationals. Do you realize one third of all the Nobel Prizes in sciences won by Americans were won by immigrants to America? If you’re gonna trail the world in practically everything, including your economy, it’s time to wake the fuck up”

The White House cover up of the Epstein Files is the most egregious, disturbing and corrupt in American history. It’s criminal.

Whenever I dive deep into the origin stories of The Beatles, I am always struck by the profound daddy issues that plagued the band. John Lennon was abandoned by his father; Paul McCartney lost his mother early, leaving his father to shoulder an immense burden. But Ringo Starr’s story holds a beautiful, often overlooked counter-narrative, all thanks to a gentle, softly spoken Londoner named Harry Graves. As a fan, I firmly believe that without Harry’s psychological support and profound empathy, the Ringo Starr we know and love might never have existed.
Ringo’s biological father walked out when he was just a toddler, leaving his mother, Elsie, to raise him in the gritty, impoverished streets of the Dingle in Liverpool. When Elsie finally remarried in 1954, Ringo was an incredibly fragile teenager, emotionally and physically scarred from years of life-threatening illnesses that had kept him in hospitals and robbed him of an education. Enter Harry Graves. In a rough working-class culture where stepfathers could often be stern or resentful, Harry was a revelation. He didn't try to discipline the sickly Richard Starkey; instead, he showered him with unconditional warmth and patience. Ringo affectionately called him his "step-ladder," a testament to how Harry elevated him.
Harry possessed a deep psychological intuition. He recognized that Ringo, who struggled with literacy and immense insecurity, desperately needed an outlet. He didn't push the boy into manual labor or berate him for his lack of schooling. Instead, he paid attention to Ringo’s innate sense of rhythm. It was Harry who scraped together the funds to buy Ringo his first real drum kit. He traveled all the way to London and brought back a second-hand, £10 drum set, lugging it back to Liverpool just to see the boy smile.
That single act of paternal support changed musical history. Harry provided a safe, nurturing environment where Ringo could pound away his frustrations and build his shattered confidence. Harry Graves proved that family isn’t always blood; it is the person who steps up, sees your potential, and buys you the tools to change the world. Whenever I hear Ringo’s joyful, steady backbeat, I send a quiet thank-you to Harry Graves, the sweet, supportive stepdad who gave the quietest Beatle his voice.

I hope all this World Cup coverage shows one thing about the US.

There are a lot of really loud, hateful voices that dominate how we are perceived, but we are a nation of kind, caring people.

There are a lot of us who aren't racist or cruel.
