Barack Obama at his last press briefing with reporters, 2017:
"I have enjoyed working with all of you. That does not, of course, mean that I've enjoyed every story that you have filed, but that's the point of this relationship. You're not supposed to be sycophants. You're supposed to be skeptics. You're supposed to ask me tough questions. You're not supposed to be complimentary, but you're supposed to cast a critical eye on folks who hold enormous power."

It's stunning when you realize exactly how many things trump f*cked up in less than 2 years.
HILARIOUS when a song nails it perfectly.
THIS IS BRILLIANT!!!🔥🔥🔥

Two 'lost' Kinks recordings have surfaced after 57 years. Ray Davies wrote five songs for BBC's Where Was Spring? before the BBC wiped the tapes. 'Let's Take Off Our Clothes' has never been heard until now #thekinks thestrangebrew.co.uk/two-los…

Wee Willie Harris - I Go Ape (Written by Neil Sedaka and Howard Greenfield). A most gloriously bonkers performance of this song!

🧵 Their backstory is pure defiance:
In 2014, three 14-year-old Muslim girls from a tiny conservative village in Garut, Indonesia—Marsya (vocals/guitar), Widi (bass), Euis (drums)—discovered System of a Down on a school computer.
Their teacher encouraged them to form a band as a positive outlet. They named it Voice of Baceprot (“noisy” in Sundanese) and started jamming metal.
But the backlash was brutal: labeled “devil’s music,” they faced stones thrown at them, death threats, smashed windows, even cars trying to run them over. Power cut during gigs. All because hijab-wearing girls dared to play heavy metal in a place where it was seen as haram.
They responded with songs like “God, Allow Me (Please) to Play Music” and “School Revolution”—calling out hypocrisy and rigid norms.
Fast-forward: Debut album Retas (2023), viral covers, first Indonesian band at Glastonbury, endorsements from Flea & Tom Morello… and now their explosive 2025 EP TRANSISI + slot at Copenhell 2026.
From hated “noise” to global icons proving metal has no borders. 🤘🖤

Voice of Baceprot turned hate into heavy metal history.

This is one of the most beautiful moments you will ever witness.
Sir Nicholas Winton helped 669 children — most of them Jewish — escape the Holocaust.
His humanitarian accomplishments would remain unknown and unnoticed by the world for nearly 50 years.
Then in 1988 he was invited to the BBC TV show That's Life!.
There he sat — unknowingly — as part of the studio audience, surrounded by the children he had rescued. They were now adults.
Then they surprised him with one of the greatest gifts of all time. Their presence.
They were there, all alive — because of him.
Not only was he reunited with dozens of children he had saved, but he was also introduced to many of their children and grandchildren.
Please remember Sir Nicholas Winton, for his humanitarian operation known as the Czech Kindertransport.
Sir Nicholas George Winton, a British stockbroker, and a gift to this planet, left us on July 1, 2015, at the age of 106.
May his memory forever be a blessing and inspiration to all.
Please share. International Holocaust Day cannot be forgotten. But many are working to make that happen.🕯️♥️
