Yes, the Tracy Chapman / Luke Combs performance mattered because it was a connection across supposed divides, but it also mattered because Combs embodied unbridled joy, admiration,and respect for Chapman, something we see FAR too rarely when these sorts of bridges are celebrated.

Her smile at the beginning is the best.

@_B___S If anybody is curious, this was shot in New Zealand by a rescue group-he was caught up in fishing net. It's a blue penguin, the smallest penguin in the world. Apparently, there are other penguins in the water just outside the camera range. 😍 https://t.co/T2lfvtz2E9

If we all cared for each other a little more, what a wonderful world this would be 💜

We mistakenly sent out an empty test email to a portion of our HBO Max mailing list this evening. We apologize for the inconvenience, and as the jokes pile in, yes, it was the intern. No, really. And we’re helping them through it. ❤️

I love the #dearintern trend because it’s a reminder that we are human, we make mistakes and they are not as detrimental as they feel in the moment. We all make them and it’s a part of life, how boring would it be if we were all perfect?

[Steve Martin @UnrealBluegrass]

We've seen few humans this devoted and humble as Jimmy Carter.
Quietly continuing his mission,which was to do good.
If you must leave us go gently . Leave your heart and bravery so we might learn.
Thank you President Carter.
Jimmy.

We need to think of the welfare of others and continuously cultivate a warm heart; to be of service to others is a practical and realistic way to lead our lives.

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

When we think about fear, there are two types, legitimate fear for which there is some valid basis and fear that is rooted in our mental projections. There’s a Tibetan saying that if you let your mind run wild, you’ll see a robber in an empty house.

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

As a Buddhist monk, I’m dedicated to promoting inter-religious harmony. All religions accept the value of warm-heartedness. Some believe in God; others have faith in karma. When I hear about fighting among religious people, I feel very sad—as if medicine has become poison.

Why did Claude Monet love the colour blue so much?

Well, it all began with four friends and a mistake...

Wow. Didn’t know Bo Burnham was a real one. Couldn’t be more relevant

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

We are all here on this planet, as tourists, as it were. None of us can live here forever. The longest we might live is a hundred years. So while we are here we should try to have a good heart and to make something positive and useful of our lives.
