We really shouldn’t be looking to the 1850s for foresight. Just sayin’.

…negroes.’ When the Know-Nothings get control, it will read ‘all men are created equal, except negroes, and foreigners, and catholics.’ When it comes to this I should prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretence of loving liberty… 2/3

Lincoln said this in 1855—or was it 2024? “Our progress in degeneracy appears to me to be pretty rapid. As a nation, we began by declaring that ‘all men are created equal.’ We now practically read it ‘all men are created equal, except… 1/3

James Earl Jones was an icon. He will always live on with his legacy of playing some of the greatest characters of all time. But we all know about his tremendous acting ability. So I want to talk about his heart. When we filmed Conan, I was the new kid on the block, and he couldn’t have been more welcoming. He was always willing to read lines with me in his trailer, and he always had the perfect acting advice. He was a fantastic mentor who taught me about the craft and about Hollywood. He didn’t have to do that, and it shows you how big his heart was. I’ll miss him, and I will never forget him.

You must be ready to burn yourself in your own flame; how could you rise anew if you have not first become ashes?
