This is false. There was routinely a line for Sarabeth's, Magnolia Bakery, Beard Papas, and Cold Stone Creamery (for some reason) during the Bush years.

In a policy DESIGNED to make Gaza unlivable, Israel keeps more than a million HUMAN BEINGS - incl babies/kids/sick/elderly - in disintegrating tents & ruins of bldgs for YEARS now - leading to a humanitarian CATASTROPHE in bad weather.
The Israeli govt comment: glib snark.

How many children will die this week while hundreds of thousands of tents, shelters, blankets and mobile homes and construction materials remain blocked by Israel at the border?

The fact that speaking up for innocent children has become controversial tells you everything you need to know about the world we live in. Ms. Rachel isn’t pushing an agenda, she’s showing humanity. No child should be freezing, starving, or suffering, and nobody should have to apologize for caring
Weirdly, one of the central bummers of post time skip Star Trek: Discovery was the idea that after dying a natural death after 1000 years of rule, the Federation was an Imperial dream worth resurrecting, flag and all.

Young Black women in rural Mississippi are trying like hell to make sure no ballot gets thrown out unfairly in the Scott Colom race. They are DMing friends and chasing down people who need to verify their IDs. My story (gift link) on the phenomenon: wapo.st/4AbqTpg

It's such a grim reminder of how evil the animation industry can be that this man dedicated his life to his craft and voiced some of the most iconic characters ever created for a massive corporation and his family ISN'T set for life after he passed away

When the last several Harry Potter books were released, we had midnight book launches attended by millions. Children, in some cases very young, finished these 700 & 800 page books in a single day. And now people are telling me I made it up, that this couldn’t ever have happened.
WH9 is typical McDonagh: heady mix of sweary, anachronistic "old man yells at woke" dialogue interspersed with truly beautiful passages. Retread of In Bruges but Malkovich gives the best actor performance of the year.

Scott Colom began his press conference today offering sight-seeing tips to media in the area this week. The out-of-state reporters and crew have plenty of time on their hands since they can only speak with half the candidates while CHS remains in the witness protection program.
Watch cause it’s funny. But as someone who voluntarily moved to Mississippi we definitely need better PR. Would help to pick another Senator - like @scott_colom. So vote!

Not just entry level positions! Think of the type of work they want to replace with AI! They came for movie posters first. That kind of callous disregard for the iconography that is so crucial to the artform of cinema is snuffing out the next generation of Drew Struzans.

People see the Oscar win and think of a great film, but forget A Fantastic Woman literally forced a country to change its laws
The political pressure from Lelio's film directly pushed Chile to pass its historic Gender Identity Law in 2018. He didn't just make cinema; he moved a nation.
The tragic part of losing him at just 52 is what we were about to get. He was mid-production on his new film in Santiago, right before he was set to direct Andrew Garfield as Carl Sagan
A genuine visionary whose best work was still ahead of him. RIP 💔
