I’m reading this as shooter took a headshot

Whether it’s Republicans storming the Capitol on January 6 or a Republican trying to shoot Donald Trump on July 13, both sides have a violence problem.

Excited to spend the next few days being lectured about the dangers of inflammatory political speech by people who've spent the last few years cheerleading civil war.

and I can see ya years from now in a bar talking over some football game with that same big loud opinion but nobody’s listening washed up and ranting about the same old bitter thing drunk and rumblin on about how I can’t sing… but all you are is mean

@GarciaDeck @piracha_a @crazyclipsonly I don’t think her phone could even see the child from that angle. It looks to me like she’s on speakerphone (probably with the french version of 911. Not everyone is strong enough to lift 40-50 lbs over their head especially from a weird angle, statically.

@piracha_a @crazyclipsonly for those of you saying the barrier made the man on difficult situation to save the kid is funny 🤦 look at this angle, he can easily hold on kid's pants and bring him up-- the lady even using her phone to capture the event 🙄

Man scales building to save a dangling child

today I was forced to remember that rails’ button_to is secretly a form (this is presumably why)

You can tell on Luke Combs face how cool he thinks it is that he's up there singing this song WITH TRACY CHAPMAN... and he's right. It IS so cool.

@RoadtripC @TrungTPhan no, like 80% of the money from Combs version goes to Chapman. He just really loves getting song and wanted to record it

@TrungTPhan So did he buy the rights to the song from her when he first sang it ?

Tracy Chapman — who hasn’t performed live in years — just sang “Fast Car” on stage with Luke Combs at the Grammy’s. The backstory behind this collaboration is incredible. Combs’ first favourite song ever was “Fast Car”. He covered it in early 2023 as a country version and the song hit #1 on country charts in July. Chapman owns the song’s composition rights and became the first black female to top the Country chart as a sole writer. What did she think of the cover? Chapman told Billboard at the time: “I never expected to find myself on the country charts, but I’m honored to be there. I’m happy for Luke….and grateful that new fans have found and embraced ‘Fast Car.’” Combs honored the original version, which he first listened to when his dad popped a cassette in the car. “You want to just be mega respectful of the original song,” says the 33-year old country singer, per CMT. “That’s why in [my cover], it’s, ‘work in the market as a checkout girl.’ I didn’t change that…I really wanted to just do the original version of the song.” Them performing it together tonight is perfection.

I am completely fascinated by the choice to intensify Comb’s country affect for this performance—he doesn’t have that heavy of an accent/twang, does not bend as hard, on his album version of the cover

@joshnorthsouth @normcharlatan Conbs has said about 80% of the money the song makes goes to Chapman

@normcharlatan @joshnorthsouth I felt like her perfectly justified self satisfied smile when she sang “me myself I got nothin to prove” said a lot. Combs looked appropriately worphipful, like it made his fucking life to get to perform with her.

@tchapmanonline performance was breathtaking 🥺

This is crazy!!
