Taking some time to slow it down…

On this day in 1990, Depeche Mode expected 500 fans at a Los Angeles in-store for 'Violator'. 20,000 showed up. Chaos, gridlock, and synthpop history in the making.

Out for Record Store Day 2025, April 18th - only at participating indie record stores! 54-40 Trusted By Millions is the seventh album by Canadian rock band @5440 released in 1996.

@botzero_net @zillowgonewild We had a proper chimney on it for 40+ years, but a storm knocked down some big trees, and one hit the chimney. Decided to take it out, put an electric fireplace in, and brought it here. Using it far more than our 3-season place. Contemplating converting it to natural gas.

@Robbie_J @zillowgonewild Do you have it in the backyard now because it doesn't have a real chimney? Can these be used indoors without dying?

What’s up with this red fireplace. I just saw it in three different homes

@twitandrewking Oh wow!!! I remember this so well from elementary school.

I always associate Spring with this segment from one of my favourite childhood films, “Paddle To The Sea” Enjoy… (🎥NFB-YouTube)

OMG KENTUCKY THIS IS MARCH 🤯🤯🤯

@AnthonyFarnell That means it’s time for the Gandharvas youtu.be/aOKYZjPQ3Bg?si…

@FoxNews When does he ship out to the Middle East?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Barron Trump, the son of President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump, turns 20 today.

You know what today is!!! youtu.be/aOKYZjPQ3Bg?si…

A second memo from Bari Weiss and Tom Cibrowski says CBS News Radio is shutting down. Here's the memo: Today, we informed our CBS News Radio team and approximately 700 affiliated stations that we will end the service on May 22, 2026. Unfortunately, this decision means that all positions within the CBS News Radio team are being eliminated.  We understand how difficult this news is for our staff and their colleagues, who have worked side by side with us to cover some of the most significant stories of our time. While this was a necessary decision, it was not an easy one.  A shift in radio station programming strategies, coupled with challenging economic realities, has made it impossible to continue the service.  We are sharing this announcement now to fulfill our commitments to our radio partners and affiliates, which require advance notice of the service’s conclusion. For nearly 100 years, CBS News Radio has delivered original reporting to the nation—from Edward R. Murrow’s World War II reports in London to today’s daily White House updates.  Our signature broadcast, “World News Roundup,” remains the longest-running newscast in the country.  CBS News Radio served as the foundation for everything we have built since 1927. The coming weeks will be difficult for the team members who have worked tirelessly at CBS News Radio.  We are committed to supporting these valued colleagues with care and respect as we wind down operations.  They have been critical to our success and remain treasured friends and professionals.  We thank them deeply for their contributions. Thank you all for your dedication and for the compassion you show one another as we move forward. Bari and Tom

@TheWapplehouse That Jim Downey? From SNL?

I feel like an idiot. I just learned today Douglas from The Chair Company is Jim Downey.

@BrickCenter_ Dude went on vacation…even if he was gathering and planting his feet.

There's no such thing as traveling in the NBA anymore. Jalen Green took SIX steps in a 1-point game with 25 seconds left... no call 😭

@MySummerLair We try our best…but nothing anywhere in the world will compare with what the UK (and Ireland) achieved.

@Robbie_J Every few years our mayor or some Canadian politician will declare Toronto is "Music City..." and God bless em for trying. But that's just branding not reality.

Firestarter...twisted fire starter came out on March 18, 1996. This Prodigy song is timeless: it was dope in 1996 and it's dope in 2026.

@ThatEricAlper The sweetest…

On this day in 1990, Depeche Mode released 'Violator,' featuring "Personal Jesus," "Enjoy the Silence," "Policy of Truth," and "World in My Eyes," it redefined electronic and alt-rock forever. Still flawless. Still untouchable.

@MySummerLair Massive infrastructure of radio, bbc, tv, clubs, indie labels, magazines…places to play, festivals, bars, pubs, clubs, towns and cities proximity Incredible really

@Robbie_J I've never understood how the UK has been able to crank out so much quality music...across decades & even genres. Like we got The Cure to Radiohead to Prodigy to Arctic Monkeys. Those are all distinct sounds, even if you ain't a fan of any of em. Plus Queen, Zeppelin etc. wild.

@dmtaylor90 Welcome! Enjoy your time here.

An on time arrival into Toronto Pearson, with a smooth arrivals process! #Avgeek

Remembering M. EMMET WALSH — who left us 2yrs ago today, aged 88

One of his best roles.
