Happy birthday to Bootsy Collins, born on this day in 1951 in Cincinnati, Ohio. Here he is sharing his formula for funk in the BBC series “Rockschool” from the 1980s.

Just met a “retired a long time ago” reading teacher. I asked for her best tip for encouraging kids to read.
“Well,” she says, “I had a big, burly guy carry a claw foot bathtub into my classroom and declared it the Reading Tub. After that, kids fought to climb in & read.” 🛁 📚

“Colin Firth is the best Darcy” “Matthew McFayden is the best Darcy” you’re all forgetting someone

If you’re still against safe bike-lanes, understand this — the safer & more comfortable urban biking is, the more people choose to ride instead of drive. The more people ride, the better people are able to move IN EVERY WAY, with less space, public cost, crashes, emissions, etc.

It’s one way…

This Spanish city centre has been car-free for 20 years. 12k people have moved into the centre since the ban. The Mayor says vehicles don’t have more right to public space than people — & he’s been re-elected 4 times since banning cars. Pontevedra via @WEF

I'm floored by how hard Tim Ryan just dragged JD Vance on his fake nonprofit. 10/10, no notes. Just brutal... and true! #ohiosendebate

Never forget, a 13-year study of a dozen cities found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for ALL ROAD USERS. And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. As for sharrows, it’s safer to NOT have them. V/@StreetsblogUSA https://t.co/vTLLMEQiYe

Just for those who may be a little confused: Elon Musk did not generously donate his Starlink satellite internet to Ukraine. The Biden administration had to pay him for it.

From Butcher Hollow, Kentucky, to the @opry & the hearts of country music fans everywhere, Loretta Lynn is immortalized by her relatable but trailblazing music. On the #NatRecRegistry, she's represented by her autobiographical hit, "Coal Miner's Daughter." https://t.co/s74j25OCRf

Loretta Lynn’s music will forever be part of our collective cultural history. Some of her music incl manuscripts are part of the @librarycongress collection. She gave voice to a generation and was truly one of the queens of country music.

R.I.P. Loretta Lynn, April 14, 1932 - October 4, 2022. Here she is spending time with members of her fan club and performing “Don't Come Home A-Drinkin' with Lovin' on Your Mind” for them in 1969.
