Tomorrow being Mother's Day here in the United States, I thought I'd bring a set of Mamma-related music to the TC Table. Follow me below the lovely breakfast croissant you're planning on serving for Mom's breakfast in bed, after a word from our sponsor...

Brillig's ObDisclaimer: The decision to publish each nomination lies with the evening's Diarist and/or Comment Formatter. My evenings at the helm, I try reeeeallllyy hard to publish everything without regard to content. I really do, even when I disagree personally with any given nomination. "TopCommentness" lies in the eyes of the nominator and of you, the reader - I leave the decision to you. I do not publish self-nominations (ie your own comments) and if I ruled the world, we'd all build community, supporting and uplifting instead of tearing our fellow Kossacks down.
From thanatokephaloides:
I want to nominate this Comment by lunachickie because she did such an exemplary job of elucidating why it is that we in "the democratic wing of the Democratic Party" are so frustrated these days!
From Yours Truly, brillig:
From funtony47's diary What I saw at Aldi the Other Day comes this thread begun by jayden with suggestions for calling out racism from One Pissed Off Liberal and texasmom.
So BOHICA writes that the military paid a shit ton of money for the NFL to honor soldiers at games. Not that I MIND honoring soldiers because they sure as hell deserve it, but as gooderservice points out this and this could have been done instead with that money.
