What’s the most iconic opening riff in music history?

Video: Jeff Daniels sat down with Stephen Colbert for the Colbert Questionert, and the legendary actor's answers on everything from sandwiches to mortality are as sharp as you'd expect. zurl.co/LxFiM

What's a really great music documentary?

Jimmy Hughes, the Alabama soul singer whose recording of "Steal Away" helped define the Muscle Shoals sound in 1964, has died at 88. One take, one classic, one voice nobody ever quite replicated. zurl.co/BndkG

Say goodbye to Stephen Colbert and then say goodbye to CBS. A network that loses Colbert loses its cultural relevance. Period. Please repost if you agree! #StephenColbert #Colbert #CBS

Super-nice of Stephen to let me host the show last night! @skpnyc @colbertlateshow.bsky.social #Colbert

Stephen Colbert dancing with Bette Midler after his final show. Just pure joy. ♥️ #SheShed

Welcome to Michigan, Stephen Colbert!

CBS thinks they canceled Stephen Colbert. CBS actually canceled themselves.

Spent the morning meeting and listening to voters at the Mississippi Coalition for Citizens with Disabilities picnic. #mississippimatters

He is... the most interesting cat in the world.

Being neurodivergent or disabled can make interacting with police downright dangerous. In fact, half of all US police violence is enacted on people with disabilities, mainly disabled people of color. Source: www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news... (1/2)

Critical thinking is a learned skill. Your opinion is not equal to it. Learn that area of expertise for better decision making and a more scientific approach in an attempt to verify the reality. Society does everything to stop you from doing such just to control you.

Details are still coming out - broad strokes appear to be: Extend ceasefire for about 2 month. Defer talks about the nuclear program. Release some of Iranian $. Allow ships through the Straits…with de facto Iranian control. A lot like the Obama deal…but slightly better for Iran. Winning… #RFA

PAN AM is back. And just like the 60s, there's not a single person of color in any of their marketing materials.

Is Trump paying Iran $25B to open the Strait?

So, after all this, what we have is that Strait will be open, as it was when Trump started this war, but Iran will have $25 Billion of new cash and the US will have severely depleted is inventory of advanced weapons. And the Iran nuke issue is untouched. Hmmm, that sounds like Trump's "talent."

A federal judge just dismissed the case against Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, ruling it a vindictive prosecution. Can he now collect part of that anti-weaponization fund? A judge even said it was lawfare ... From @politico.com: www.politico.com/news/2026/05...

Romans were known to create tombs for their dogs and gave them epitaphs to remember them by. One such inscription reads “I am in tears, while carrying you to your last resting place as much as I rejoiced when bringing you home with my own hands 15 years ago.” Original post

The main difference between the Bible and To Kill a Mockingbird is that when someone calls To Kill a Mockingbird their favorite book, they’ve probably read it.

Because yeah, he couldn’t have done that.

Dart also plays for an organization whose head coach’s politics are abundantly clear, and owner Steve Tisch was mentioned in the Epstein Files, so, I’m not holding my breath that there will be any repercussions here beyond annoyed fans who unfortunately will forget about this by training camp.

Good morning to everyone who voted for Kamala Harris.

"City officials said they’ve also heard from disgruntled residents who complain about overcrowded parking lots and, in their view, unappealing inventory.... They don’t want to see Applebee’s or Denny’s close down, ... Some people don’t want to see change.” www.sfchronicle.com/eastbay/arti...

“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.” - Theodore Roosevelt

Every summer I repost this article on how to spot drowning. Please read it and pass on. In the last few years I’ve had SIX messages from people who saved a kid’s life after clicking on the link from my feed. slate.com/technology/2...

Here’s a thought — Maybe these people don’t deserve to be handsomely rewarded? (From NPR)

Wow. They’re openly defending the deletion of DOJ records about a man accused in a child solicitation case who assaulted police on January 6. Truly the Epstein administration.

I'm a little pissed that @tsnofficial.bsky.social is only carrying the men's Hamburg Open and none of the women's Strasbourg International. And we have Canadian Vicky Mboko in the FINALS tomorrow! #tennis #WTA

pay no mind...melanie is also the kind of person who wonders why rockets aren't launched from mountain tops.

On a less political note. My wife and I just sat down to watch our first movie together in theaters together since Dune Pt 1. That's 5yrs. The Mandalorian and Grogu is everything these unabashed Star Wars nerds could have hoped for. This is the way!

Rep Justin Jones made a statement entrance, walking into the Tennessee legislature with an "Abolish ICE" flag. No subtlety. No backing down.🔥🔥🔥

Russia is getting destroyed in this war on multiple fronts. Putin has already lost and is a bad faith player. Only a loser president would think pairing up with Russia now is a good idea. Awww, but there’s the kompromat.

Satire & Political Comedy Are Resistance 🎭 "Authoritarians don’t like anybody who doesn’t give them undue dignity. Comedians are anti-authoritarian by nature. And authoritarians are never going to like anybody laughing at them." - Stephen Colbert

No idea why Tuchel is getting all the hate over his squad selection. Toney's experience playing in half-empty stadiums under an authoritarian regime could prove invaluable.

We are very far off the cliff, folks. @CBS should be avoided entirely. Shame on them.

Last ep of Colbert was some of the best antifa art I’ve seen in an age and then it inspired us to wonder if Weird Al, who wasn’t part of the show, was playing in Vermont any time soon — and he is! And we just got 2 of the last four tickets, for our kids, who will tell us all about. No Pasaran!

Nothing to see here, move along.

We got a puppy! Here's her first ever video - nibbling treats out of my hand on the floor at the pet supply store while my husband makes her a tiny name tag. She is a terrier mix, about 12 weeks old, adopted at our local shelter transferred from somewhere in Texas. We named her Stella.
