My favorite scene from the Bible

An opposition party would not be on vacation right now. They would have coordinated message to the public about the fact that a President in cognitive decline is threatening more war crimes. They would be BLASTING the message on all available platforms.

Things every hotel room should have, no exceptions: 1) Full length mirror 2) Makeup/magnifying mirror 3) Shampoo/conditioner/body wash dispenser 4) Recycling system 5) In-room coffee station 6) More hangers

ICYMI - Samuel L. Jackson (!!) narrated this powerful video for Saturday's No Kings rally about the strength of Minnesotans protesting ICE: "When your neighbors are being attacked and your communities are being targeted, you don't give up. You don't look away. You don't back down. You showed up."

Today, I'm introducing my wealth tax — and more than 50 members of Congress are joining me. It’s time for the government to start working for American families, not just the ultra-rich.

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

This movie is a vibe and an aesthetic.

Aw, thanks. It was perfect!

All of this.

Happy birthday homie!

Ohh He's crying He was all alone

No one ever remembers Kiss Me, Stupid. I love that movie.

My second cousin. True story.

The love that Sinners is getting reminds me that we must always make room for beauty in the midst of existential struggle. ESPECIALLY when we are in these moments of distress. Take time for thoughtfully crafted and life affirming art. It won’t save your life but it might just save your soul

"Sinners" has made $161 million at the box office, but residents of Clarksdale, Mississippi, where the film is based, are unable to see it because there are no open theaters in town. The Mississippi Delta town launched a petition in hopes of hosting a screening. capitalbnews.org/clarksdale-r...

Happy birthday to the Hubble Space Telescope, launched from the Kennedy Space Center #OTD in 1990. Here's to a remarkable 35 years of imaging the Cosmos. 🧪 🔭 ⚛️ Leave your favorite Hubble images in the replies!

Oh man.

This song was recorded 40 years ago today, on the same day Prince would die 31 years later. youtu.be/ikZgBhSMSUM?...

A little pitch for anyone who can spare a few bucks: it would be AMAZING if you would consider subscribing to the @bostonglobe.com and reading & interacting with our arts coverage, especially books. If not the Globe, then whatever paper you like. These metrics help keep these sections alive.

Rio from Jem and the Holograms. This man dated both Jem and her alter ego and didn’t even know it was the same person. Just trifling.

If you want a great weekend watch…

Disagree do I.

Somebody may not like this but I’ll say it anyway: Talking shit about someone EVEN IF YOU ARE RIGHT about them being a fucked up person, is only going to delay your healing and prolong your suffering. Let. Them. Go. I know they did “xyz” - but you can and should move forward.

It’s too bad so many people see politics as a game rather than something that literally determines whether people live or die.

We wrote a thing Read it or not I don't care It's about removing CO₂ from the atmosphere With geochemical methods In the ocean 🌊

You already know what it is 🛸

Thank you for putting Cross on this list! ✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿

youtu.be/jRoHQXnu-dc You gotta watch this. First doc written, produced, directed, edited by a Black woman for public TV. Half hour. Amazing look at the post MLK movement, centering on a hospital strike in Charleston where almost the entire union was made up of Black women. Race, gender, labor.

I love that a white guy was flying the plane, a white guy was flying the helicopter, and a white guy gutted the FAA last week but somehow the blame is too much diversity.

A reminder to look for the helpers, to find those in fields and niches that can help in dark times (🧪🗃️ law, mutual aid, #LGBTQ support and more): #RESIST go.bsky.app/QRfTWhT

It is literally a law of biology, financial portfolios, and the US Olympic team lol… that diversity is our strength.

All I can really say at this point is if everyone isn't watching how trans people have lost basic rights and protections on a scale that hasn't been seen in decades in the span of 72 hours and realizing that even if you aren't trans there's nothing stopping it from happening to you, you're a fool

I can’t name names, but I can relate

Stephen Miller and Homan’s goal is to shock and awe blue cities to terrify whole communities. They’ll deliberately targeting businesses, schools, hospitals churches and other places of worship. They want Americans to be afraid. Mayors and governors must stand up to them. Lawyers get on standby.

Seems like it’s already time to remind…

DID YOU KNOW for 25 years Matthew Shepard had no permanent resting place due to concerns his grave would be vandalized Reverend Budde learned of this, she invited the Shepards to inter him inside the Washington National Cathedral. www.matthewshepard.org/matthew-shep... She was and is a real hero.

I just got my Costco membership.

In other news, yesterday I called on the four biggest streaming providers to carry C-SPAN. It's increasingly hard to find non-partisan, independent coverage about what's going on in government, and making C-SPAN easier to access for everyone is a good place to start.

A winner

Firefighters from Mexico just arrived at LAX. They'll be joining 14,000+ personnel already battling the #PalisadesFire. California is immensely grateful to our neighbors' support in the fight against the wildfires in Los Angeles.

“As Los Angeles burned for days on end, horrifying the nation, scientists made an announcement on Friday that could help explain the deadly conflagration: 2024 was the hottest year in recorded history.” It’s GLOBAL WARMING, not just “climate change.” Pls get it right www.nytimes.com/2025/01/10/c...

Rest well and thank you 🙏🏾🕊️

More than 100 years after its initial review that blamed Black men, the Dept. of Justice just released its report on the 1921 Tulsa race massacre The report says the attack “was so systematic and coordinated that it transcended mere mob violence”
