Sgt. Declan J. Coady, 20

Picture of Marilyn Monroe and Ella Fitzgerald In the 1950s, Ella Fitzgerald was not allowed to play Hollywood's most popular nightclub, Mocambo, because of her race. Marilyn Monroe, who was a big fan, called the owner & told him that if he booked Ella, Marilyn would be there every night — which guaranteed huge press coverage. He booked Ella and Marilyn was there, front table, every night. Ella said, "After that, I never had to play a small jazz club again. She was an unusual woman - a little ahead of her times. And she didn't know it."

“Riding on Obama’s coattails” is the perfect description! I was all in with them for about 5 minutes, but then their true (mediocre, privileged) natures became apparent. Anyone still listening to these guys after the 2024 election needs their head examined.

I love the genuine joy for him in that room! I’ve said it before, but the more times I watch Sinners, the more I tune into the nuances of the performances. I do think he deserves this. I just didn’t expect it!

This. 🧵

He didn’t “speak out.” He quietly, calmly addressed it by thanking people for their concern and support. And he did it with the same poise he and Michael B Jordan displayed during the actual incident.

Starting right now here in the U.S. The Wild Bunch is a classic. #filmsky #moviesky #movies

Always remember that the American state media attacked President Biden relentlessly more for his age as he was doing good work than they ever have with the orange felon who is setting the world on fire out of spite and revenge. They deliberately and consistently failed humanity.
