@thedailymemes_ A really sharp one. 👍🏽

What kind of tool is that?

@MondayJohnSule @Mr_Husky1 She did. However, her business is personal.

"Nothing personal, just business" is usually the phrase used right before a woman proves the "rules" were actually just glass ceilings. 🔨 ​Sarah McLachlan didn't just ask for a seat at the table; she built a whole new stage and invited everyone to it. When we stop competing for the "one spot" they give us and start creating our own spaces, the world has no choice but to show up. ​Ladies, what’s a "rule" in your industry that you’ve enjoyed shattering? Let’s hear it. 👇

They told her to pick just one woman for the stage. So she filled it with hundreds. In the mid-1990s, Sarah McLachlan had a simple idea: tour with another female artist. Just one. The answer from concert promoters and radio programmers was identical everywhere: No. One woman per concert bill. One woman per hour of radio. Any more than that, they insisted, and audiences would tune out. Nothing personal — just business. The problem was simple: they were wrong. And McLachlan decided to prove it. In 1996, she quietly ran an experiment — booking a small tour with herself, Paula Cole, Lisa Loeb, and other female artists. Four women. Back to back. No safety net. The venues filled. The audiences stayed. The industry's "rule" shattered on contact with reality. Armed with proof, she went bigger. In summer 1997, McLachlan launched Lilith Fair — a traveling festival featuring exclusively female artists and female-led bands. The music industry scoffed. Sponsors refused. One water company literally told her team they were "really focusing on a male audience." Some artists received warnings from their own agents that joining would kill their careers. The opening night sold out. 15,000 people showed up. By summer's end, Lilith Fair had grossed $16 million — making it the highest-grossing touring festival in America that year, surpassing even Lollapalooza. The "risky" all-female lineup had beaten every mixed-gender festival in the country. Over three summers, Lilith Fair would gross $60 million in ticket sales and raise over $10 million for women's charities. More than 1.5 million people attended. The women whose agents predicted career suicide — Sheryl Crow, Jewel, Fiona Apple, Tracy Chapman, Erykah Badu, Missy Elliott — became bigger stars than ever. "It minted stars," one music journalist later wrote. But here's what Sarah McLachlan actually did: She didn't argue with the gatekeepers. She didn't wait for permission. She didn't beg the industry to change its mind. She built her own stage. And when they said women couldn't fill it, she filled hundreds of them — with proof so loud they couldn't ignore it. The industry said it was impossible. She made $60 million proving them wrong. Sometimes the best response to "you can't" isn't a speech. It's a sold-out stadium. Who proved the doubters spectacularly wrong in your life?

RUSH back onstage after 10 years with new drummer Anika Nilles!

@JayGenXer Will buff out. No prob.

⚠️ THAT looks safe, RIGHT??

@atrupar @MuellerSheWrote

Leavitt begins the press briefing: "Could you hear our 'amen' in there? We just had a little loud prayer as a team. In this holy week, President Trump and the First Lady are joining in prayer with Christians celebrating the resurrection of our lord and savior, Jesus Christ."

Up in Canada for the day National News here has microscopic doses of Trump

OH MY GOD! Rush playing live for the first time since Neil’s passing at the Juno Awards and Geddy screaming like he’s in his 30s on Finding My Way off the first album. Anika Nilles killing it on drums

@lololeereverie Tell him if he tugs them more than twice he’s playing with them and he’ll go blind. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

My 12 yo son gets into phrases he uses as chirps in hockey, so when he finds one he likes, that’s all he says. Right now it’s “give your balls a tug” Me: “honey, take the garbage out.” Him: “give yer balls a tug.” Me: “that makes no sense” Him: “better give yer balls a tug.” 🤦🏻‍♀️ So of course half the time I’m scrolling dudes whining on social media and I really desperately want to write: “maybe you should give yer balls a tug.” My writer’s tongue is being corrupted by my own (hilarious) kid

@DustyPee Okay…

@johnstrong_ham #Peetong, silly.

New #Peetong slicer, who dis?

@Mollyploofkins Doric is the best style…..

Trump: This is a view of the columns. They're going to be hand-carved and they're beautiful. Top of the line. They'll be corinthian, which is considered the best, most beautiful by far.

🚨NEW - SEC. HEGSETH: TRUMP HAS DRAWN A NEW STRATEGIC MAP From Greenland to the PANAMA CANAL "We call this GREATER NORTH AMERICA......and it used to be called the quarter sphere defense... and will do this again."

@MarioNawfal @MalcolmNance

🚨🇰🇼🇮🇷 BREAKING: Iran struck a desalination plant in Kuwait, killing an Indian worker. Just as predicted. Coalition forces hit Iran's water reservoir in Haftkel. Iran responded by hitting Gulf water infrastructure. The pattern held again. South Pars led to Ras Laffan. Steel plants led to aluminum facilities. Water for water. 14 ballistic missiles and 12 drones hit Kuwait in the past 24 hours alone. A military base was struck injuring 10 personnel. A private warehouse was damaged. Kuwait gets over 90% of its drinking water from desalination. It's a lifeline for an entire nation. And someone in the coalition struck Iran's water supply knowing full well this would be the response. Gulf leaders need to have a very serious conversation about who is selecting targets in Iran that guarantee the most devastating possible retaliation against their own countries. Source: AFP

@allenanalysis @MalcolmNance

Pete Hegseth just unveiled “Greater North America.” A new strategic map — from Greenland to the Gulf of America — claiming every sovereign nation north of the equator is part of America’s security perimeter.

@MaryMacElveen @ShadowofEzra @MarkJCarney Canada is a partner in NATO and NORAD. Nothing else. Your pedo felon wannabe dicktator *president’s can fuck off.

@ShadowofEzra Does this include Canada? What does Prime Minister Mark Carney @MarkJCarney think of this? Does he on behalf of all #Canadians have a say in the matter?

Pete Hegseth says Donald Trump has drawn a new strategic map from Greenland to the Gulf of America, calling it “Greater North America.” He says every sovereign nation north of the equator is not part of the Global South, but part of the security perimeter in this great neighborhood we all live in. "We call this map the Greater North America.”

@Nana00018487212 @Freedom77015202 @JimBarr81145663 Bullshit. The PM only flies in that plane. If it’s a personal flight, he pays for the seat as if he was flying commercial.

@Freedom77015202 @JimBarr81145663 I was wondering about this. So why did he do it???? Showing citizens again how little he thinks of our rules. He believes himself a king.

The Prime Minister cannot use the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) for personal or private purposes. RCAF aircraft may only be used for official government business, under strict rules, and only with AUTHORIZATION from the Minister of National Defence.

@Theyforcedmeto2 @cewgarcia @MalcolmNance That’s ‘Murrica. Exceptional.

@cewgarcia @MalcolmNance Ah, that's depressing. Thanks for explaining it.

Another intelligence indicator. Facebook.

@EarthHertz @WorkElizab The pot store.

No way you know what this is, unless you're rocking some serious vintage memories!

@3MarkMyers3 @bstarrreports @tjroehrig That is a well known term. No other way to categorize it.

Just Now! Standing in the REI checkout line a Marine came up to me and said “I want you to know we appreciate what reporters do.” I assured this Marine I would let all my reporter buds know. She is a young mother and about to deploy. So all around it’s a good day. The nasty officials out there will always lose. Thank you Marine!
