As contagious as it is to watch Belushi, you just can't take your eyes off of Aykroyd.

The sheer amount of talent on that small stage is staggering.

The Blues Brothers performing 'Soul Man' live on SNL, in 1978.

47 years apart yet it is still incredibly impressive.

Name me one other country on earth - just one - who could kidnap 497 people from 46 countries & get away with it

I know I've asked this a few times recently but I've been very unwell for much of this year & am trying to get back on my feet again financially by teaching my workshops again alongside running my Etsy shop.
Please could you give my tweets above/below about my workshop a RT if you have a moment (or even join the class if you fancy learning about how collecting alters our brain wiring and thoughts for the better-I'd love to teach you).
Thankyou so much for your continued support and encouragement here x🌿

[Emma Mitchell 💙 @silverpebble]

There are just 5 spaces left on my small museums for mental health w'shop this Saturday, about how making collections & arranging small beautiful objects neatly alters brain biochemistry to improve mental health.
Includes FANTASTIC research showing that playing TETRIS (in this case using things you found on walks) makes us far more resilient to stress & trauma.
👇Earlybird price expires tomorrow👇
3.5 hrs tuition. Also incl 30% off my Etsy shop:

The Freedom Flotilla is sailing again

They have over 50 boats, from 44 countries, spanning 6 continents

The largest in history:

To break an illegal 18yr 🇮🇱 siege on Gaza 🇵🇸
To feed children
To stop genocide

And western media is not covering

And western ‘leaders’ are silent.

[liam cunningham @liamcunningham1]

The luxury of being silent you thought you had is over.
The inaction of the world as a genocide is happening in 4K in front of you has emboldened fascism.
Their greatest weapon is your silence.
SILENCE IS COMPLICITY.

At the BBC Proms in London a couple of nights ago, Israeli conductor Ilan Volkov spoke out at the end of the concert. Every word. Yes.

[The Irish News @irish_news]

"It is clear that the NHS in Northern Ireland has failed. It is clear that the Northern Ireland state has failed in its most important duty, which is healthcare for the most vulnerable in our society.

"The NHS on offer in NI is so bad we wouldn’t accept it for our pets not to mention our relatives."

Yesterday we saw a child’s remains reduced to a plastic bag. Today we saw a drone operator fire a missile at a girl carrying water. Tomorrow will bring fresh horrors. It’s genocide broadcast in real-time and it’s a stain that will never wash off.

[Cahair O'Kane @CahairOKane1]

“Kids that die of starvation don’t even cry in the end. Their little hearts just slow down and eventually stop.”

A member of Doctors Against Genocide said that in the Senate building.

America and Britain are every bit as bad as Israel for allowing it

[Kenneth Roth @KenRoth]

The killing of young siblings at a Gaza water point shows how seeking life’s essentials is now a deadly peril. Karam al-Ghussain, 9, and Lulu, 10, were fetching water from a nearby distribution station when an Israeli strike hit it, and them.

#ICYMI: Former Israeli PM Ehud Olmert says Israelis are committing “daily atrocities” in the occupied West Bank, with full knowledge of Israel's government, police and army.

[Neena Jha @DrNeenaJha]

My timeline is filled with emaciated bodies of all ages from Gaza

Filled with desperate pleas for a morsel of food

THE ENTIRE POPULATION OF GAZA STARVING TO DEATH IN FRONT OF US

And all world leaders do is remain “appalled” but STILL stand by WATCHING DOING NOTHING?!!

[Áine @Thelytokous]

STOP WALKING YOIR FUCKING DOGS ON ROASTING HOT FOOTPATHS IN THE HEIGHT OF THIS HEAT.

if you don’t understand this you should not own a dog.

Passed a few fucking idiots and their poor pups looking miserable there now.

@PeterMcManus @Baddiel Soda bread and potato bread is part of the traditional fry in the North of Ireland. Sometimes it comes with a pancake and a hash brown too. A fry mainly comes with toast in the rest of Ireland.

[Dr Sharon Lambert @sharonlambert0]

In 1990 I read Under the Hawthorn Tree, a profound read A novel about experiences of famine in Irl, I imagined the children eating eating barks of trees. Wondered what life was like for my people. Today children in Gaza are eating grass, they are dying from an enforced hunger.
