Aaron Paul revealed that he earns $0 in residuals from streaming despite BREAKING BAD doing constant numbers for streamers. "I don't get a piece from Netflix on BREAKING BAD to be totally honest and that's insane to me." #AMPTP
Sesame Workshop mourns the passing of Tony Bennett, who brought joy and music to millions of people around the world. Mr. Bennett joined us on Sesame Street in 1998 to turn a classic of his into a new favorite of ours.
$760 billion in PPP loans were forgiven.
That’s $360 billion more than this Administration’s student debt relief program.
And, several Republican members of Congress who opposed student debt relief benefited from those PPP loans.
Affirmative action was never a complete answer in the drive towards a more just society. But for generations of students who had been systematically excluded from most of America’s key institutions—it gave us the chance to show we more than deserved a seat at the table.

BREAKING: @NPR drops bombshell, reveals that Elon Musk just sent them a “series” of angry emails “threatening” to revoke their Twitter handle and “reassign it to another company” if they don’t “start tweeting again.”
One ex-Twitter executive was shocked by Musk’s threat, telling NPR that such a threat “should be alarming to any business operating on the site, since it indicates that acquiescing to Musk's every whim may be necessary in order to avoid being impersonated on Twitter.”
Social media experts say that Musk’s threat “poses a serious risk of impersonation and could imperil a company's reputation” and that “if this is a sign of things to come on Twitter, we might soon see even more of a rapid retreat by media organizations and other brands that don't think it's worth the risk," said Emily Bell, a professor at Columbia Journalism School who studies social media. "It's really an extraordinary threat to make."
Last month, NPR effectively quit Twitter after Musk applied a label to the news organization's account that falsely suggested it was state-controlled. Other public media organizations, including PBS and the Canadian Broadcasting Corp., followed suit and stopped tweeting following similar labeling.
In an email sent at 2:19 a.m. EST after this story was originally published on the NPR website, Musk wrote a new email to NPR without any text in the body but with this subject line: "You suck."
Please RT to expose Musk’s awful tenure as Twitter CEO, smash the ❤️ if you have NPR’S back against him, and consider joining the growing exodus to https://t.co/3VM3MqTSy0, a new Twitter alternative that I created that Musk is trying to keep everyone from finding out about.

I came across this TikTok by way of @Texas_SeoulGal. She’s an amazing friend and definitely worth a follow.
Regarding this video. It’s from a veteran with disabilities talking about the proposed budget cuts to VA benefits.
It’s emotional, it’s visceral, and it shouldn’t have to be made. As a nation we need to stand behind those that signed the line to protect our freedoms. Thank you Logan for your service!
