Turning 46 Today: John Krasinski

I really prefer acting over everything else. It is what I did from the beginning. All these other avenues [writer, director, producer] have been fascinating roads to go down but, for sure, acting is the most fun.

It's the guns 💯%

When I first started submitting to competitions through @coverfly.bsky.social my biggest goal (other than winning) was reaching the top 1% across the board. 3 years later, as Coverfly comes to an end, I can finally say I did. 🥲

That Ma Belle Evangeline song from Princess and the Frog might be one of Disney’s best ballads. Up there with Beauty & the Beast and A Whole New World really.

Generative AI is like a rash, it just keeps popping up where you don't want it, which is everywhere.

So it turns out that when you fire a whole bunch of competent experts and then scare a whole bunch of others into quitting, that complicated technical things can fall apart pretty quickly. Go figure.

Rep. Laurel Libby, R-Auburn, recently used my second-place finish in the 1,600-meter run, and that of my teammate in the 800-meter run, to malign Soren Stark-Chessa, the trans-identified athlete who finished first. One of the reasons I chose to run cross-country and track is the community: Teammates cheering each other on, athletes from different schools coming together, and the fact that personal improvement is valued as much as, if not more than, the place we finish. Last Friday, I ran the fastest 1,600-meter race I have ever run in middle school or high school track and earned varsity status by my school’s standards. I am extremely proud of the effort I put into the race and the time that I achieved. The fact that someone else finished in front of me didn’t diminish the happiness I felt after finishing that race. I don’t feel like first place was taken from me. Instead, I feel like a happy day was turned ugly by a bully who is using children to make political points. We are all just kids trying to make our way through high school. Participating in sports is the highlight of high school for some kids. No one was harmed by Soren’s participation in the girls’ track meet, but we are all harmed by the hateful rhetoric of bullies, like Rep. Libby, who want to take sports away from some kids just because of who they are. Anelise Feldman Freshman, Yarmouth High School Yarmouth

Ian McKellen tells young actors they should come out — "Being in the closet is silly"

"I have never met anybody who came out who regretted it ... there’s no need for it. Don’t listen to your advisers ... listen to your heart ... Come out. Get into the sunshine"

No More Female 4-Stars: Franchetti Firing Leaves Top Ranks Filled by Men Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth fired Adm. Lisa Franchetti, the Navy's first female chief, last week without any clear explanation -- part of a purge of top uniformed leadership that included the Joint...

This is not about merit; it’s about normalizing racism and misogyny

This headline and summary implies that the “proper order” is men making more than women. I think that’s an issue. Men didn’t fall behind, women just got pay equity… and we’re already seeing that under attack, like with this headline, summary, and article.

Super Bowl blowouts usually suck but this one is a work of art, just a complete middle finger to everything that’s happening

Memory-Holing Jan. 6: What Happens When You Try to Make History Vanish? The Trump administration’s decision to delete a DOJ database of cases against Capitol riot defendants places those who seek to preserve the historical record in direct opposition to their own…

The erasure of the Jan. 6 records comes while the administration is also seeking to whitewash the teaching of U.S. history, threatening to withhold funds from schools that teach about America’s troubled history of racial and gender discrimination.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Earth records its hottest year ever in 2024 and passes major climate threshold.

Basically, racism.
They were taught that their skin is pure and the darker the skin, the more often you need to wash up.

So when you’re raised and indoctrinated to believe you’re exempt from bathing because of your skin color is… very on brand
