Small man going from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm. Views rarely my own - usually they’re from films I have long since forgotten.

@burns1_karen Thank you for everything you have done for people in West Yorkshire. You have championed and supported so many people... and from my own personal point of view, you have impacted my career in the most profound way. It's been an unforgettable journey.

Easter morning, Southside, Chicago, Illinois, April 1941.

The only one of the five boys that’s identified is the tall, hatless teenager in the middle, named Spencer Lee Readus, Jr., who was 14 when the photo was taken. Spencer Lee went on to serve in the U.S. Army during World War II and build a career as a plaster foreman.

According to his daughter, he remembered the day as, “I was going to the show on Easter Sunday and a white man approached me to ask if he could take a picture of me and these other boys.”

The YouTube algorithm has just chucked this lovely thing at me from six years ago; Danny Boyle talking with @wittertainment on T2, time, masculinity, the Olympic opening ceremony, music, memory and Proust https://t.co/GFqcfm7Ikc

@smcowley Very similar scenes in my family. My niece scooped the ‘best behaviour’ award in her class this month so, y’know, very similar lives.

@figpr Interesting, but also interesting to discover he is a grifter for the channel not a complainant. He’s bragging about it 🤬

RIP to the incomparable Doyle Brunson, poker’s original and most-enduring superstar. Someone should make the definitive documentary on the poker boom generation’s influencers whilst they are still at large. https://t.co/rS5Mtce5rP

Not saying I need a change of luck but I have started saluting magpies again.

I absolutely love this answer. Also reminds me of the “one organic globule” explanation from White Men Can’t Jump.
