I've heard that there is a jungle-adventure type movie in which an African actor's bit part was to run up to the hero and say something in Swahili. When he asked for a line, the director said, meh, whatever. African audiences loved it when they heard, "They're not paying me enough to do this."

Replies here are so wonderful, it's like the sun just came out. 😊

Of course conservative young men go there. The Orthodox Church preaches and practices patriarchy, in family and society. The form might not be quite as brutal as some modern secular or evangelical groups teach, but it's still toxic.

We must protect the rights of others, or lose our own.

A vintage black and white portrait of a woman holding a young child, both looking directly at the camera. The woman has a gentle smile and wears a light blouse; the child is in a simple top. The background is plain, emphasizing the subjects.

Goodnight all. I've never been a big fan of calling things evil, but many of this administration's acts are clearly evil. Snatching people off our streets, deporting them, and separating them from their children is evil. I pray for compassion & the rule of law. The Lord bless you and keep you!

What's the point in getting mad? Cabinet & Congress won't invoke the 25th, and there aren't votes to impeach.
Concentrate on winning elections. Don't get even; get ahead.

Yesterday at the farmer’s market I saw a vendor quietly give food to someone whose EBT (SNAP) card didn’t have enough money on it.

People helping people because the president and his administration refuse to.

Even when court-ordered.

I know you know this, but actions like this are heart-warming but unsustainable. That's why we created SNAP in the first place, and why we must rebuild it now.

Until we confront this we cannot hope to build a healthy democracy.

Joyce Carol Oates @Joyce... 17h O So curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates— scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend's or relative's accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. In fact he seems totally uneducated, uncultured. The poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the "most wealthy person in the world."

Elon Musk ' @elonmusk X.com Oates is a liar and delights in being mean. Not a good human.
