The shy but extraordinary Nick Drake died on this day in 1974, but he left us with some wonderful folk music. Bryter Layter came out in 1970. #MusicSky

Saddened to hear the great Jimmy Cliff has passed away. His music has been a constant companion.

The moment when Democrats delivered healthcare to more than 30 Million additional American citizens. Healthcare is a human right.

The President of the United States is publicly calling for the political prosecution of his political opponents, urging the death penalty because they urged soldiers to uphold the rule of law.
This should be front page news everywhere. It is not, which tells much about how we got to this point.

Teenage Fanclub, with Bandwagonesque (1991). I still remember seeing the album in the local record store, but that was 34 years ago today. Also, the album didn't feel like a sellout, probably their best. #MusicSky

Around the world there is no shortage of drama in the final games of the WC qualifiers, but Troy Parrott's late winner in the game against Hungary is the stuff of legends. Hats off, Ireland, that was a stunning comeback.

Troy Parrott. Echos of Robbie Keane's goal against Germany in 2002. What a moment. #COYBIG 🇮🇪

Watch this and suddenly your own problems won’t feel so heavy. The good news: people stepped up and raised about $246 k+ on GoFundMe to help this woman and her baby.
There really are good people out there.

The underwater seismometer network is so great, as evidenced from yesterday's EQ off-Tohoku.
