A few months before he passed away in 2003, a 74 year old children’s television host sat down in the same studio where he had filmed 895 episodes over 33 years and recorded one last message. It wasn’t for children. It was for the adults who had grown up watching him.
Fred Rogers hosted Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood on American public television from 1968 to 2001. For over three decades he walked into the same set, changed into a cardigan and sneakers, looked directly into the camera, and spoke to children as if each one of them was the only person in the room. He never raised his voice, never talked down to his audience, and never rushed a single moment.
In that final recording, he looked into the camera one last time and said “I’m just so proud of all of you who have grown up with us. And I know how tough it is some days to look with hope and confidence on the months and years ahead. But I would like to tell you what I often told you when you were much younger. I like you just the way you are.”
He passed away from stomach cancer on February 27, 2003. He was 74.
🚨 Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang: “The narratives of AI destroying jobs is not going to help America — It's false … Somebody said that AI Is going to destroy all of the software engineering jobs … We now have agentic AI inside Nvidia … The software engineers are busier than ever.”
Washington is trying to ban hemp, a winning cash crop for Kentucky farmers.
I'm working with Sen. Klobuchar on a bill that lets states set their own hemp rules. Call your senator and tell them to support it: (202) 224-3121.
Two women who have accused Rep. Eric Swalwell of sexual misconduct, Ally Sammarco and Annika Albrecht, exclusively told CBS News' @nancycordes that they “have served justice for his future victims” by coming forward: “I think we just prevented another 30 to 40 years, potentially, of him harming people.”
Swalwell denies the allegations and vowed to fight them, but he ended his campaign for governor on Sunday and announced he will resign from Congress. https://t.co/PEgrYmwxk7

D.L. HUGHLEY: “Iran is stronger today — they fought the mightiest military in the world to a standstill… If I fight Mike Tyson and he doesn’t knock me out - I fuckin’ won.”
The “Republicans do even worse stuff!” argument against Eric Swalwell being held accountable is gross.
You are either for justice or against it. You can’t be for justice when it’s the other team and against justice when it’s your team.
We must hold them ALL accountable.
