You don’t need fireworks, fast cars, or twerking ladies. It’s Bruce Springsteen. He communicates alone.
Bruce Springsteen's haunting finish in the Brilliant Disguise video is one of the best pieces of rock & roll visual art ever. Don't @ me. Just a man and his guitar explaining his broken heart. That's solid gold, Jerry!

The last safe snark: women judging men
Best thread ever! Enjoy this thread of women stereotyping men. Had these roles been reversed, the original tweeter and every man who followed would be crushed by the twitter bullies. Carry on, girls! We love your snark. We're men! 5 types of MEN TO AVOID challenge:- male feminists - men who have never shot a gun- men who are too close to their mom - men who donโt workout - men who wear hats with suits https://t.co/jdp4O8qHVG— Amber Athey (@amber_athey) April 22, 2020 The response thread is hilarious! This thread takes care of two of the genders. What about...

The Oops File
We all make mistakes. I make mistakes every day during lengthy broadcasts. Sometimes one doesn't hear their own misstatement or mangled words. With that in mind, here is my ongoing collection of apology tweets from people who've misspoken and had to circle back to correct the record. Iโve realized my comments on risks around opening schools have confused and upset people, which was never my intention. I misspoke. pic.twitter.com/Kq1utwiCjR— Dr. Mehmet Oz (@DrOz) April 16, 2020 Dr. Drew is a snake oil salesman. Really terrible stuff here.

David Byrne. Performance artist. Too hip for this planet back in the early 80s. How is he today? Still pretty fond of himself.
Media vs Trump jumps new shark, Orange Man assumes he is King of USA
Oh look! Time for another presidential press conference! Because the media won't acknowledge it themselves, Trump just showed a video laying out the timeline of his administration's action on coronavirus and made the media sit through it in the briefing, watching their own networks' words.Savage. pic.twitter.com/03ND2iahOK— Caleb Hull (@CalebJHull) April 13, 2020 At his daily combative press briefing to address COVID-19 issues, President Donald Trump played video clips highlighting media voices that affirm his coronavirus response timeline claims. It was an unusual pushback against the daily hostility media and Trump sling at each other. pic.twitter.com/6fEymjTjUM— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 14, 2020 Fascinating theater. As expected, the media was not pleased. CNN called Trump's truth reel propaganda even though it contained their
