I was sure my favorite facemelt of 2022 would be Eddie Munson shredding Master of Puppets in the Upside Down, but no – hands-down @WolfVanHalen KILLING “Hot for Teacher” with Dave Grohl, Josh Freese, Justin Hawkins - and Olivia. Damn. https://t.co/MgtQRllwzw #taylorhawkinstribute

This letter from Sarajevo is the best thing I've listened to since war started. There's so much humanity and understanding in it, so much pain and hope. Thank you, Aida Cerkez, you made me cry again after days of numbness.I hope to meet and hug you one day https://t.co/SVQ8wm2ivw

@Popehat Outstanding show. Wish it had run longer!

@BroodyXCicada Too funny! Yep. 😎

[Michèle Ledgerwood @pining4fjords]

Snapped some shots of our friendly neighborhood #BroodX cicadas this week. Newly molted from its exoskeleton, this nymph is waiting patiently for its body to harden and darken, hoping to scare off predators with its "Ray-Ban" spots. #cicadas2021 #entomology

"Loss of life and loss of living...." 💔 On this grim anniversary, thank you to the extraordinary teams of scientists who delivered viable vaccines in under a year & the thousands of MDs, Nurses, RTs, +++ who gave everything of themselves in the face of total uncertainty. #heroes
