CC becomes part of Yankees lore at Cooperstown.
Welcome to baseball immortality, @CC_Sabathia.
I really liked this clip of Ichiro's HoF speech, too! 😀
Ichiro thanked the Yankees in his Hall of Fame speech: "I know you guys are really here today for CC, but that's okay. He deserves your love." 😂 (via @MLBNetwork)
Kudos to @brianlilley for asking Grok about the most famous/well-known to view and block my account. I did the same thing. It answered me on both occasions. (I correctly guessed the latter identity, for the record.) Give it a try for fun!
Hi, @grok. I’m curious to know the most influential name on this platform that has visited my profile. Who would it be?
Happened to come across this older clip today. Dench at her finest.

Welcome back to Arlen! #SDCC
A sizeable number of Canadians foolishly thought Carney was the best leader to take on Trump and resolve the tariff battle. What did the "great negotiator" accomplish? Nothing.
"I think Canada could be one where they'll just pay tariffs. Not really a negotiation." "We don't have a deal with Canada." Compare and contrast with the self-professed "good negotiator" below @markjcarney
As they should. In spite of his complicated history (at times), he deserves to be honoured for his role in transforming the WWF/E from a territory to a global organization.

Never seen this clip before. Two blues guitar legends on the same stage.

This is, without question, my favourite Simpsons skit! I've already watched it twice this morning - and can't stop laughing! 🤣
So, here's Eastern Europe's favourite cat and mouse team, Worker and Parasite!

Chuck Mangione has died at 84, TMZ reports.
Kennedy's explanation makes perfect sense. I was once in an interview where my IFB went wonky. They had to stop and fix it. (My interview, unlike Kennedy's, wasn't live.) These things occasionally happen on TV, ladies and gentlemen!
Senator John Kennedy returns to Fox Business to explain what transpired during the interview.
