There are precious few songwriters who have the ability to inspire millions of young kids to pick up instruments to try to figure out how to write songs 1/100000th as well as Paul Simon does.

Here he is, 1976, with George Harrison. Enjoy your #SundayMorning, y'all.
I wrote this song after 9/11.

I'd been in New York for a CD release party (remember CD's?) on 9/10/01 and took the redeye back to Seattle.

It was definitely inspired by the songwriters I grew up with, like Paul Simon. #Sundaymorning #sundaymotivation

While you're here: fewer than 1 in 5 young people voted in the last midterm elections, and less than 4 in 10 eligible voters overall.

The current government would like to keep it that way.

Register here to vote. #SundayMorning #SundayMotivation

While the right is busy clutching pearls and gnashing teeth about Rashida Tlaib's use of the word motherfucker, I have one word for you. #fridayfeeling #fridaymotivation #impeachtheMF
Here's the entire compilation of Trump swearing up a fucking storm.

If you are offended by Rashida Tlaib's colorful language but not Trump's, your problem might not be the language.

.@TJCoxCongress has pulled ahead of incumbent Valadao in #CA21.

If the lead holds, that will bring the Dem gains in the house to 40 seats.

This is what a #BlueWave looks like, y'all.

But that's just the beginning. 1/
#tuesdaythoughts #tuesdaymotivation
2/ Of particular note, Democrats won the popular vote by over 9M, the largest margin in US history.

The closest runner-up was the election after Watergate.

History does, indeed, rhyme. #tuesdaythoughts #tuesdaymotivation

3/ In addition, Democrats netted 300 legislative seats and 7 governorships. Democrats now have full control in 14 states, which will make this year's redistricting efforts more equitable. #tuesdaythoughts #tuesdaymotivation cnn.com/2018/11/26/pol…

There are so many reasons Cindy Hyde-Smith is wrong for Mississippi.

One of the reasons that just came to light is her long history of racism, starting with attending a segregationist high school to sending her daughter to a similar one as well. #SaturdayMorning
Hyde-Smith attended a segregationist academy specifically designed to avoid Brown v. Board of Ed racial integration.

Not only that, but she also sent her daughter to a similar academy.

This story is stunning.

There’s “no doubt that’s why those schools were set up,” said former U.S. Rep Ronnie Shows, a Democrat who was Hyde-Smith's junior high basketball coach at segregationist Lawrence County Academy in the 1970s. jacksonfreepress.com/news/2018/nov/…

Here's a mental health rant intended to get this off my chest, more than anything else.

Lemme talk for a sec about Evolutionary psych, what it is, what it ISN'T and why most of the people publishing and discussing it are full of shit.
A bit of background- being the completely extra person we know I am, I did an original research thesis in undergrad.
Specifically, I did a cross-cultural study on which had a more powerful affect on infant cuteness ratings- signals which were supposedly determined by evolution, or those thought to be culture-bound.

The Untold Story of:

How Tesla Covered Up A Model S SPONTANEOUSLY COMBUSTING

by BRIBING the customer (and then reneging on that bribe)

In order to not kill the company.

An Elmer Fudd Exclusive™️

$tsla $tslaq

1/
The year was 2014.

$tslaq probably did not exist yet.

@elonmusk had not yet settled a securities fraud lawsuit for tweeting out a fake buyout offer.

But $tsla was still a deceitful, dishonest company up to no good.

2/
Enter our protagonist: Mr Schneider.

Schneider was presumably a true believer.

He took delivery of a Model S on Dec. 31, 2014. His VIN: 62,811.

He paid $133,720. That's ~3x the average annual income in Allegheny County [Pittsburgh] where this took place.

I feel like I need to write this down. Yesterday was an... odd day for me.

Yesterday was the day that I discovered that, deep under multiple layers,
Google Translate appears to have, at its heart... a murderous psychopath.

Let me begin at the beginning.
It began innocently enough, with searching for some new music on Google Play. One of the songs that came up in the rotation on one of the playlists (Alternative Hotlist, or something similar) was "Love Runs Out", by One Republic:
I'd heard the song several times before, but there was always something about the beginning of it, that super-heavy percussive beat, that reminded me of something else, but I could never quite place it.

It ALMOST seemed to match something in my memory, before the vocals kick in.

Here’s a fun story for you. I spent 3 years learning about this guy, Phil Kitzer, the greatest con artist you’ve never heard of. 1/
In the 1960s, he was arrested for embezzling millions of $ out of 15 insurance companies in Minneapolis and Chicago, bankrupting them. 2/
Kitzer spent 8 days testifying in his own defense. He was hypnotic, charismatic. After 3-month trial, the jury believed & acquitted him. 3/
