“She Blinded Me With Science” peaks at #5 today in 1983 — a song for which Thomas Dolby, an aspiring filmmaker, pitched the video before writing the actual song. “I showed [the label] the storyboard .. They said, ‘But when can we hear the SONG?’ I said, ‘Oh, I'll bring it on Monday morning.’” 😆

A must-see conversation with Gen. McChrystal — who argues America is stuck in a pattern where leaders lie to Americans, they know they’re lying, WE know they’re lying, and everyone accepts it. How he’s working to return character to leadership: @cnbc.com www.cnbc.com/video/2025/0...

BREAKING: Dems have FLIPPED the Omaha mayoral race. John Ewing Jr has beaten the GOP incumbent!!

Let's talk about these two department store owners: brother and sister Louis Bamberger and Caroline Bamberger Fuld. From Newark, New Jersey. They are random people, basically. But in the late 1920s, with fascism taking over Europe, they made a choice that profoundly changed the world: 🧵
