In 1982, Robin Williams did a routine as the American Flag for the Norman Lear produced tv special "I Love Liberty" created to bridge political divides - and it's one of the greatest pieces you'll see 🇺🇸
In the nick of time for the celebratory weekend in the USA, here's "Trumpy Doodle" - our 250th anniversary version of "Yankee Doodle" that you can also download as a song on Bandcamp, with the lyrics:

There were two tiers of possible response to the express wishes of Henry Nowak's dignified family in the light of his traumatic murder. One humane and empathetic, the other inhumane and exploitative. This version of "Lyin' Eyes" (Eagles) is for @JDVance and those in the second.
This may well be every bit as perfect a country and western song as "You Never Even Call Me By My Name"

This was the moment that convinced me it was a staged event...
How else do you explain the flag being lowered perfectly into position, as if the entire scene had been frozen until the flag was in place for that ideal photograph?

At 2:20 AM on April 15, the RMS Titanic slipped beneath the waves after striking an iceberg at 11:40 PM the night before. Later that day, a Southampton resident, A. Johnson, purchased a Titanic photo postcard.

Menus of the day (12th April 1912) served to 1st class passengers on the #Titanic.
📸 1: Menu saved by Elise Lurette, a French passenger who accompanied the Spencer family. 2 dishes are crossed out because they are probably no longer available.

It’s known as the “mirror moment,” when patients who have lost their teeth see their smiles restored with dentures. Many patients are brought to tears in this life-changing moment. https://t.co/AOoSAySyuO
My best advice to young people. 👇🏼
Put the phone down.
Stop scrolling.
Stop the social media.
Stop the video games.
Pick up a book. Read Aurelius. Read the Iliad. Read Shakespeare.
Give yourself a real education.
I'm going to say something directly to the young men in the room right now.
You're not going on dates. You're not socializing. You're not building real relationships with real people in the real world.
I'm trying to be honest with you in a way that someone should have been a long time ago.
The algorithm is designed to keep you exactly where you are.
Comfortable. Isolated. Scrolling. Consuming. Going nowhere.
Real life happens when you put the device down and walk out the door.
Go on a date. Have a conversation. Make a friend. Take a risk. Be uncomfortable. Be present.
The phone will still be there when you get back.
Here's our 🎶 parody version of Barry McGuire's 1965 "Eve of Destruction" that we've modernised to turn to current US adventurism. We're calling it: "Grief and Destruction" 🚀
