Zelenskyy is a better representative of the values that America stands for than America itself under its current regime.

We are here for a reason. Not by accident. Not by mistake. We chose this time, this place, this life.
But what will we do with it?
The world is loud, full of fear and division. It wants to pull us into its drama, make us forget why we’re here. But we are not here to fight battles that were never ours. We are not h…

My dad called me this afternoon to tell me that the field between our houses was covered with robins, that it wasn’t just one robin that arrived as a sign of spring but a whole field full.
What he didn’t say was that birds were my mom’s thing. She would have been the one to notice. He did in her stead and made sure to bring them to my notice, too.

I love talking Vulture's annual stunt awards with Brandon Struessnig. Lots of fun stuff this year about FURIOSA, THE FALL GUY, those ads during the Oscars that featured stunt performers, and more.

Not sure if I’m supposed to say this here, but here goes:
Lamenting the loss of what once was on another site, I love “following” people here simply because I cannot get emails on the regular from all the ones whose wonderful work I want to see.
I also love that there is no follower/following count here (at least that I can see—I’m inept at such things). Who cares?
I also noticed recently that I can’t see how many likes, etc. there are on a note without a further step.
I know this place is for lo…
MICKEY 17 is, sadly, not very good. It's neither funny nor fun nor exciting, the central metaphor is unbearably belabored, and the movie jettisons all the interesting ideas from the book in favor of tedious timeliness.

Norway has just decided to increase its support to Ukraine for 2025 from 35 to 85 billion Norwegian kroner ($7,81 billion). Compared to the size of the population, the Norwegian aid equals $483 billion from the USA.
Tusen takk, Norge!
When Mike Myers wore his "Canada Is Not For Sale" t-shirt on SNL, he mouthed a secret code: "elbows up."
It's a reference to the great Gordie "Mr. Elbows" Howe and his willingness to punish those who tried to mess with the team.
You heard him: elbows up. And if anyone asks why, tell them that Mike Myers sent you.
Sane, normal, non-propaganda prone Americans stand with Canada. With Ukraine. With Mexico. With Panama. With our ancestral lands of Europe.
Fuck Vance and fuck Trump.
Hi Charlie I have nothing but respect and love for your country and your ppl despite the unlawful and shameful actions being taken. I live in America and there's so much going on that I don't agree with and am against. This is not the Country I was born into. But I will keep my resistance to the unlawful disgraceful behavior. Please let the PM know that. He's a great leader and Zelenskyy is no Dictator that ambush was unjust. Americans from states are pissed at the disrespect those bully pack gave him. ❤️🙏
Second that!
As a Detroiter, hockey fan, and someone who loves Canada…”elbows up”! I’ll be defending and supporting Canada! 🏒❤️🇨🇦
The “Hockey night in Canada” theme song is now officially stuck in my head👍… it’s the sound of my Childhood on snowy, winter Saturday nights. It should be our rally cry during this dark time. 🎶 Da-da-da-DA- da-daaaaaaa….. 🎶
“elbows up”, indeed.
On Canada Day July 1st. Canadians should enjoy the Day Protesting at all PORTS OF ENTRY AT THE BORDERS OF CANADA . Disrupting Traffic Both ways. But peacefully.
🇨🇦Gordie Howe was Mr. Elbows Up… Wayne Gretzky is Mr Pants Down.🖕🏻
Love it!!!! Elbows are up out here in BC!
Elbows up, eyes wide open, thanks.
