The “but muh freedom” clowns are mad at… a private citizen for attending a concert, drinking a beer and for wearing a “No Kings in America” shirt.

Interesting.

Sounds like the quintessential American experience to me.

NEVER FORGET 💙 Stephen Colbert used his final moment on network TV to announce that his Late Show auction raised nearly $2.5 MILLION dollars for the World Central Kitchen — an organization that feeds millions around the world, whose homes have been torn apart by wars, like the one Trump started 💖

Colbert: "If you, much like the FCC, have been paying close attention to my show, then you know we've been auctioning off all kinds of great Late Show memorabilia and selling commemorative The Last Show t-shirts, all to raise money for the international aid organization, World Central Kitchen. And I'm excited to say that we got a great response on all of our auctions. And here to accept our donation is the founder of World Central Kitchen. Please welcome Chef José Andrés, everybody.”

"José, we want to give you our donation on, you know, one of those giant checks, but it's hard to find a bank that will cash one of those. So, instead, we have decided to present our donation tonight on the world's smallest check. And it's too small to read anything on the check, so I will instead now slip it underneath a microscope.”

"And the total is $2,497,144.15."

José started crying.

He understood just how many people this is going to help 🌎

THIS is what we’re missing in late night right now. Heart.

David Tennant just discovered that two innocent emojis can make the internet VERY inappropriate

The funniest part isn’t even the meaning of the emojis. It’s watching Tennant realize, in real time, that the internet has apparently given everyday food an entirely different vocabulary.

He starts from genuine confusion, keeps asking questions, and then the explanation gets progressively worse.

What makes the moment work is that he never pretends to understand something he clearly doesn’t. He’s completely lost and that honesty makes the joke ten times funnier.

Sometimes the best comedy is just watching someone discover something everyone else already knows.

If you believe the Patriots of 1776 who bled out on frozen fields died for nothing; if you believe the Greatest Generation who stormed beaches and crushed fascism died for nothing; if you believe we are helpless against a pedophile's Nazification of America; if you believe voting changes nothing and the fight is already lost — then step aside, this isn't for you. I'm with Jack Smith.

In the 1950s, a cat named Dagwood from Portland, Oregon, became a little ping-pong star. It started because she wouldn't leave her owner alone while he played, so he gave her the other side of the table.

Just when I thought Jack Smith couldn’t be any cooler, he puts on a t-shirt, grabs a beer and goes to a concert.

The free bottle of milk on every British school desk was put there by a 4ft 10 redhead from a Manchester slum, who was dead within 6 months of doing it.

Ellen Wilkinson grew up in Ardwick in the 1890s, in a house with no bath, and caught every illness going. She got out on scholarships. By 1935 she was MP for Jarrow, a shipbuilding town where the yard had shut and 7 men in 10 had no work.

She had seen what that did to the children. They were small, bow-legged and grey. In 1936 she walked with 200 of their fathers from Jarrow to London, nearly 300 miles, to hand in a petition. The Prime Minister would not see them.

In 1945 she was made Minister of Education. She had one thing she wanted above the rest. The Treasury told her the country was bankrupt and it could not be afforded.

In August 1946 a third of a pint of full cream milk became free for every schoolchild in Britain, every day, whatever their parents earned.

That winter was the worst of the century. Her ministry had no coal. She worked in her overcoat with bronchitis, and on 6 February 1947 she was found dead in her flat, aged 55.

She never saw a single class of those children grow up. They turned out the tallest and straightest generation the country had ever produced.

If you drank it, warm, through a paper straw, you were her life's work.

The marvelous glow that was naturally Marilyn Monroe was so stunning wrapped up in the perfect polka-dot dress by Travilla in "The Seven Year Itch".. Inside the dress were tiny weights sewn so it would cling to her body and the result was pure perfection. This dress remains one of my very favorites in all of film....
