@carlosgvizcaino @thebeatles One of the many delights of Richard Curtis’ film Pirate Radio is the smarmy arrogance of Kenneth Branagh’s character, leading the government efforts to suppress the distasteful music infecting the young people. I hear Branagh’s voice when I read anything like this letter.

Ten days before the release of The Beatles’ Sgt Pepper album, the BBC’s director of sound broadcasting, Frank Gillard, wrote to EMI head Sir Joseph Lockwood with the news that the corporation was banning "A Day In The Life". Gillard’s letter, dated 23 May 1967. #TheBeatles

@TheRickWilson The important thing, Lindsay, is that you can play golf again with Trump.

No matter how much you bruise your knees for Trump, he's always going to screw you over. You never fucking learn.

@jimstewartson The eyes are windows to the soul. *shudder*

Trump has severe swelling in his extremities which has now expanded to his neck and face. At the same time, his disinhibition is total. His dementia is self-evident. We’re playing very dangerous games with the world right now.

@JVMonte2 “Your Flag Decal Won’t Get You Into Heaven Anymore” by John Prine.

What’s a great anti-war song from the 60s or 70s?

@Microinteracti1 The fact that it’s called “Greenland” is evidence there’s a lot of history involved. But, then again, the MAGA sheep always have been allergic to historic truths.

Greenland has been on the map since roughly the year 982, when a Norwegian called Erik the Red sailed there and named it. The Vikings. Not Donald Trump. Vikings with axes and no central heating. It is the largest island on Earth. It appears on every atlas ever printed, every globe ever made, every satellite image ever taken. NASA photographs it from space on a daily basis. It has its own government, its own flag, its own capital city and its own deeply held opinion about not being owned by anyone in a red baseball cap. The United States Air Force has had a base at Thule since 1951. Which means American military personnel have been eating terrible food and freezing their bits off on Greenland for 74 years, apparently without telling Governor Landry. And yet here stands Jeff Landry, Governor of Louisiana, a man elected by actual human beings to run an actual American state, explaining to a Danish television crew that Greenland did not exist until 2025. This is the intellectual foundation of the most aggressive territorial land grab attempted by a Western democracy since the Second World War. Not strategic doctrine. Not legal argument. Not geopolitical necessity. A governor who apparently believes the world’s largest island was invented by a property developer from Queens. They want to take Greenland. They cannot find Greenland.

@sharilynj @latenightercom The Colbert Report episode devoted to Pussy Riot was a stunning moment in talk show history. Its erasure is an ongoing act of hatred toward free people everywhere.

@latenightercom The loss of the TDS/TCR archives is an even more evil decision than taking the Late Show off the air.

Jon Stewart closed Monday night’s 'Daily Show' by re-airing a classic toss to 'The Colbert Report.' dlvr.it/TScHjR

@kenbensinger @thegoalkeeper @SantulN What ever happened to that movie about FIFA corruption, starring Will Ferrell as Chuck Blazer? A bit of ballyhoo several years ago, then… poof!

NEW: After 11 years two fugitives in the FIFA corruption case have quietly come to NY to negotiate a possible plea deal. Hugo & Mariano Jinkis were indicted in 2015 but avoided extradition from Argentina. w/ @SantulN nytimes.com/2026/05/19/nyr…

@bestofbreakin And Jonathan Banks was in the movie Airplane! youtu.be/P7jtcCERJYE?si…

Mike Ehrmantraut was never supposed to exist in Breaking Bad. Saul was originally meant to clean up the scene after Jane’s death, but Bob Odenkirk was busy filming How I Met Your Mother, so the writers created Mike instead. One scheduling problem gave us one of the best characters in TV history.

@lady_valor_07 I definitely remember Jenny Agutter. (And if you haven’t seen it, watch Walkabout.)

Who actually remembers this sci-fi movie?

@Sue_Charles Very difficult to explain Dr. Hook to modern audiences. youtu.be/tXcJNljjTG0?si…

Sad news about Dr Hook frontman, Dennis Locorriere, who has died at the age of 76. ‘When You’re in Love With A Beautiful Woman’, ‘Sylvia’s Mother’, ‘Better Love Next Time’… the soundtrack of the 70s that brings back big memories for the #TOTP generation. twitter.com/MusicJim2/stat…

@RickReed57 @LucasSa56947288 Should attract monarch butterflies.

@LucasSa56947288 It's called "The Milkweed Pod" look...

What’s up with Donald Trump’s hair?

@BhattiLaib9960 Sybil

What’s an old-fashioned grandma name I could give my girl?

@sandiegowavefc Dali sounds like there’s coaching in her future.

there's something special about this Wave 🫶

What’s a great Song that mentions Texas or a town in Texas? #TexasRock

@InspiredByJM Trying to think of analogies. How about… a baseball pitcher who persists in throwing pitches near/at batters’ heads?

Not idea how Claire Hutton finished this game while being the best player on the field to boot. This was so nasty. BSG needs suspend multiple games for this

@AbbyyMerry They should have stopped making new versions of Holmes and Watson after this series. Everything since is pointless.

In memory of David Burke and Jeremy Brett, here’s my favourite pictures of them.

@JeffKassouf @thegoalkeeper @espn So, the NWSL just bumped up the season schedule to 30 games per team. The campaign to rid players of the scourge of recovery time keeps accelerating.

BREAKING: U.S. Soccer has engaged with stakeholders including #NWSL, USL Super League, WPSL Pro about the creation of an interleague competition to begin as early as 2028, sources tell @espn. Details are still TBD, may not be exactly like men's Open Cup. espn.com/soccer/story/_…

@lexiescarina Or Sam Meza?

jaelin howell welcome to the uswnt june camp roster i guess!

@timecaptales I miss Teri Garr.

The B-52's performing on Saturday Night Live with Teri Garr hosting on January 26th, 1980.

@RealDanYohannes @LilyYohannes10 They grow up so fast. Congrats!

It’s an honor to see my daughter recognized among the 11 players selected for the #ArkemaPL Team of the Season 🫡🌟 #UNFPTrophies Congratulations, @LilyYohannes10 - so proud of you! Side note: It was such a privilege accompanying my daughter… and seeing these awesome Lyoness ladies being recognized with #Dumornay taking the biggest prize for best player of the year. #Chawinga. The icing on the cake was to meeting my #Chelsea icon #Drogba.
