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

God has no hands but ours.
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!
WOW! Justin Trudeau as he implements 25% tariffs:
"I want to speak directly to the American People... We don’t want this… Your government has chosen to do this to you. As of this morning markets are down and inflation is set to rise dramatically all across your country."
We are with you! Do what you have to do! We know our government sucks!
Trudeau understands our country better than the current administration. We have a detached administration embracing putinism at the expense of our citizens. We are not ok!
We stand with Canada.
We don’t want it either- we are being held captive by the Fourth Reicht
Do what you have to do! Thank you for realizing MOST of us DENOUNCE HIM!
So sorry it had to end up this way. Our government is evil and I am ashamed to have to be in it!
We need that kind of President 🥰
He is a Prime Minister
