Things We Saw Today: Bernice King Shares Words of Wisdom in Honor of Martin Luther King Jr’s Birthday

She also followed this tweet up with a humorous and timely reminder for the folks out there (like Republican pundits and lawmakers) that love to share King’s quotes out of context and manipulated to fit their narrow worldview. Bernice King, a national treasure.

Meanwhile, Jordan Peterson shared a chart attempting to debunk climate change. Except, as many many people pointed out, the chart ends at 1885. As one Twitter user pointed out, “This would be like a chart of war-related deaths and stopping at 1939.” Jordan Peterson getting got yet again. When will beef jerky Pee Wee Herman give it a rest.

As a palette cleanser, please enjoy this video of Baby Fritz, the littlest hippo of the Cincinnati Zoo playing with his giant ball.

In “Dudes Rock” news, please enjoy this impressive musical feat from guitarist Michael “Chili Dog” Castleberry. Because he does in fact rock. Unfortunately, he did later get charged with a DUI for falling asleep behind the wheel of his running vehicle immediately after the show. Sometimes, like Icarus, a dude flies to close to the sun.
